Send User PINs to Z-Wave Door Lock
xGenConnect can send user PIN codes to a Z-Wave Door Lock. This allows the
same PIN codes on the alarm system to operate the door lock.
This feature is available to User Types > Engineer, Master, and Custom users
with Z-Wave menu access.
Communication is one way from the xGenConnect to the lock, instructing the lock
to add or remove PIN codes. Each lock is individually controlled.
When
“Send PIN(s) to Lock” is selected, xGenConnect queries the lock for the
number of standard users it supports. Some locks support up to 250 PINs, others
are limited to 40. Check your lock documentation.
Each xGenConnect user number is sent to the same numbered slot in the lock,
up to the maximum slots available in the lock. For example, xGenConnect user
number 1 will be sent to the Z-Wave Door Lock slot 1. Users exceeding the
capacity of the lock will not be sent.
Existing PIN codes in the door lock will be over-written. If the lock detects
a duplicate PIN then the send command will fail.
Selecting
“Remove PIN(s) from Lock” will clear all PIN codes from the lock,
whether or not they were added by the xGenConnect.
Some door locks have special master/installer PIN codes, these will not be
changed. However, if they are default standard user PIN codes then
xGenConnect will have access to change or remove them. Each lock is different
and you should test this feature on your specific lock to ensure only the
appropriate codes are present.
As PIN codes can also be changed directly on the door lock, over time there may
be a mismatch in PINs on the door lock compared to the panel. To avoid this
confusion, only make PIN code changes on the panel and sync them to the door
lock.
