Access Code Descriptions:

User/Palm Code

5 digits
This is specific
to each users palm.
Will be stored on the palm and will not be configurable.  The
serial number of the palm (or some other distinguishing characteristic)
is a possibility.
First code sent to door panel.
The first digit will indicate whether the user is using a standard
palm (used by general personnel, indicated by a 0) or an administrator
palm (used by security personnel, indicated by a 1).  When accessing
an entry, this information will be sent to the panel to check whether
the user has been locked out and to be entered into the panels access
log.


Security Code

5 Digits
This is specific
to each door panel.
A single security code will be stored on a door panel and can only
be configured by an administrator.
The security codes to several doors may be stored on any palm, 11111
is always the final entry of the palms security code list.
Sent to the door panel immediately following the palm code.

">s Pin

4 Digits
This is specific
to each user.
Will be stored on the palm and will be configurable upon entering
the correct pin.
The users pin is never sent to the door panel; it simply allows the
user access to the palms list of stored security codes.

 

Sequence of Events for Smart Lock Operation:

If incorrect pin was entered Transmit 11111 as security code
and have palm loop back to pin entry mood.


If correct pin was entered Transmit the palms security code
list.  Transmit one code at a time followed by an amount of time
significant enough for the wall unit to read that entry and determine
if it is correct, then repeat this process with remaining security codes.
