3 RF-Online safe usage
Note: The RF-Online safe can only be connected to an existing ZigBee network.
3.1 Connecting an RF-Online safe to the network
Note: Before connecting the safe to the network, the safe must have been commissioned.
To allow the safe to join the ZigBee network, the concerned ZigBee router or gateway must be ‘open’.
This is performed in the software SysMon (System Monitor); see 3.1.1. Follow the steps in sections 3.1.2
and 3.1.3 for joining the safe to the network.
3.1.1 Starting SysMon
1. Double click on SysMon.exe in the VISIONLINE installation folder.
2. Log on with the same user name and password as for VISIONLINE.
Tip: Create a shortcut to SysMon.exe since this program will be extensively used.
3.1.2 Opening the concerned gateway or router for joining
1. In the SysMon menu View, select ZigBee; the ZigBee Network window which is shown.
2. Right click on the applicable gateway/router in the ZigBee Network window and select
Permit Joining. The gateway/router is now ‘open’. It will remain in this status for
approximately 15 minutes or until a forbid join command is executed.
October 11, 2011 Page 10 of 22 66 3081 018-4
3.1.3 Setting the safe in discovery mode
To be able to connect to the open router or gateway, the RF-Online safe must be set in discovery mode:
1. With the gateway/router open from the steps performed in section 3.1.2, connect the Universal
Safe Interface (PinKey, ElKey or IR interface) to the service socket of the safe. Depending on
what interface that is used, the display of the safe will show
•
‘
Ser’ (if PinKey is used)
• ‘Ir’ (if the IR interface is used)
• ‘Open’ (if ElKey is used)
2. Press and hold the Reset and 3 buttons down simultaneously. ‘dISC’ should appear on the display.
3. Release both buttons; the safe is now in discovery mode.
4. Wait for a couple of seconds and then press and hold the Reset and 5 buttons downsimultaneously.
October 11, 2011 Page 11 of 22 66 3081 018-4
5. Depending on the connection status of the safe, it will display either ‘On .’ or ‘OFF .’.
The ‘On .’ status indicates that the safe is connected to the ZigBee network. If ‘On .’ is displayed,
the safe interface (PinKey, ElKey or IR) can be removed from the service socket.After that, the safe
should appear in the ZigBee Network window of SysMon (System Monitor) with the room number
that was set during the commissioning.
If the signal to the ZigBee network is weak ‘OFF .’on the safe display), it might be necessary to repeat
the procedure of connecting the safe to the ZigBee network; see section 3.1.2. The endnode must then
be set in discovery mode again according to steps 1-3 above.
The picture below shows a sample of the ZigBee network view, with safes connected to three
different routers.
October 11, 2011 Page 12 of 22 66 3081 018-4
3.2 Disconnecting a safe from the network
If the RF-Online functionality in a safe needs to be switched off, e.g. when the safe should be moved
from one room to another, follow the steps below:
1. Connect the safe interface to the service socket.
2. Press the buttons Reset and 2 and hold them down for a moment.
3. The safe display will say ‘ConS’. That means that construction mode has been activated
(which will reduce the battery consumption). The radio in the safe is turned off.
4. To verify that the radio is turned off, press and hold the Reset
and 5 buttons down. The safe
display will say ‘Con .’
3.3 Reconnecting a safe to the network
Before connecting the safe to the ZigBee network again, the RF-Online functionality should be turned on.
1. Connect the safe interface to the service socket.
2. Press and hold the Reset and 4 buttons down. The safe display will say “OrPH” (orphan join).
3. To verify that the safe is connected to the network again, check its status by pressing and
holding the Reset
and 5
buttons down. If ‘On .’ is shown on the display, the safe is
connected. If ‘Con .’ is shown, the safe is still in construction mode.
Note: Making a cold start on the safe, e.g. by replacing the battery, will also set the safe in orphan
join mode.
Note: If the front or CPU board of the safe has been exchanged, an orphan join should be made
according to the steps above.
Note: If the endnode of a safe has been exchanged, a discovery must be done according to section 3.1.3.

4 Settings and supervision in VISIONLINE
Before starting any work in VISIONLINE, the online functionality for safes must be enabled
in the software.
Note: VISIONLINE 1.10.0 or higher is required.
4.1 Enabling online functionality for safes
Online functionality for safes require that the VISIONLINE software options Online and
In-room safes are set; see section 4.1.1.
Once the options have been set in the software, different alternatives for the safes are available at
Tools/Options/Online/Safes; see section 4.1.2.
4.1.1 Installing an option in VISIONLINE
If the Online and In-room safes options were ordered together with the VISIONLINE software, they are
included in the VISIONLINE license code and will be set in the software when the license code is entered.
If the options should be added to the system at a later occasion, when the license code has already been
entered and system ID is therefore set, an option code is used instead. Several software options can be
included in one option code. An operator with the authority to handle option codes must be logged on.
Normally, options are set by the system manager or the distributor.
When ordering the option, the system code must be communicated to the ordering department:
1. Double click on
System settings
under the
Reports
tab in the navigation window to find the
system code.
System settings
is available even if you are not logged on.
2. Communicate your system code to the order department; see order acknowledgement for phone
number and e-mail address. The system code can also be entered in the Ordering web page when
making the order.
To install the option:
1. When you have got your option code, go to Tools/Option code.
2. Enter the option code and click Apply.

4.1.2 Settings at Tools/Options/Online/Safes
When the steps in section 4.1.1 have been performed, settings for the safes can be made in VISIONLINE.
1. Launch the VISIONLINE software and log on with user name and password.
2. Go to Tools/Options/Online/Safes.
3. If there should be an extra cost for the guest if a safe is used, “Enabled” (default) should be
marked. If there is no extra cost, “Enabled (no renting)” should be marked.
Note: If “Enabled” is chosen, the check box ‘Rent safe’ must be marked in the guest card
dialog before issuing the guest card; see section 4.7 Renting a safe for details. If cards are
encoded via PMS Plus and ‘Enabled’ is chosen, the RS field is used; see Specification for
PMS Plus Protocol (DP-060) for details.
4. If ‘Get info from safe at check-in’ is marked, an event about the status of the safe
(locked/unlocked) will be sent at guest check-in.
Note: The status of the safe is explicitly checked at check-in/check-out. If the check box
‘Get info from safe at check-in’ is not marked, the last known status is used. This may
cause unnecessary triggering of The safe is LFPG (locked from previos guest) alarms.
5. If the check box ‘Get info from safe at check-out’ is marked, an event about the status of
the safe (locked/unlocked) will be sent at guest check-out. See note in step 4.
6. If ‘Notify guest at check-out if safe is locked’ is marked, the guest will at check-out be
alerted by SMS or e-mail that the safe is still locked. The SMS/e-mail alert comes directly
at check-out, but the guest has some time (the Grace time entered in this dialog; default is
30 minutes, the valid range is 30-1440 minutes) to go back to the room and pick up the
belongings in the safe.
Note: The function ‘Notify guest at check-out if safe is locked’ requires that information about
the guest’s cell phone number and/or e-mail address has been given from PMS at check-in.
7. Click OK.

5 Troubleshooting
Problem Solution
The safe cannot connect to the ZigBee
network and does not appear in the
ZigBee Network window in SysMon.
• Move the router closer to the safe to gain the best
possible link quality.
• Repeat the discovery procedure.
The safe appears in the ZigBee
Network window, but the room number
is not shown.
• Check with SafeLink if the safe is properly
commissioned.
Note: The safe cannot have room number 0 (zero).
After the discovery procedure, the safe
“took over” the number from another safe
shown in the ZigBee Network window
of SysMon.
• Check with SafeLink if the safe is properly
commissioned.
• Perform the Get Info command from the Safes
list of VISIONLINE, to be sure that the safe has
the proper room number stored in its memory.
• Check the IEEE addresses of the endnodes in
both safes.
