mLOCK Quick Start Manual Rev 1.3 mLOCK Quick Start Manual Scope: This document is a Quick Start Guide for a permanently sealed iControl mLOCK. iControl’s mLOCK is a maintenance free GPS tracking system whose user interface is a wireless interface via a 802.15.4 radio integrated with the lock. The only physical user interface to the tag is a two conductor connector for a cradle charging system located on the bottom of the lock. Overview: The iControl mLOCK (Figure 1) is a battery powered device which provides wireless communication and GPS tracking data for mobile assets. The mLOCK is an active RFID padlock that is a component of the Marine Asset Tag Tracking System sponsored by the United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS). The mLOCK communicates bi-directionally using addressed and encrypted messages between the lock and a stationary (or mobile) reader. MATTS stationary readers are called iGATEs. The mLOCK never transmits first. The mLOCK must detect a beacon from a MATTS reader (iGATE) or a MATTS handheld (Figure 2) and negotiate an authorized connection before transmission begins. The stationary reader operates on a locally accepted 802.15.4 channel. The mLOCK scans all 802.15.4 channels and only communicates using the channel identified by the local reader. The user may configure the lock to operated (lock or unlock) automatically based on the local readers mode of operation. When outside of the readers range, the mLOCK continues to log location and state of health data in non volatile memory (flash).

mLOCK Quick Start Manual Rev 1.3 Powering the mLOCK. iControl ships all mLOCK’s with the power disabled. To enable the power for the mLOCK, push and hold the front panel button for 30 seconds to enable power for the lock. A successful power up can be confirmed when the LCD display activates and displays the boot display “iControl mLOCK” for 10 seconds. After power up, the LCD display menus can be reviewed by holding the front panel button to scan status displays. Disabling the power in the lock can only be accomplished via a secure 802.15.4 radio link command that decommissions the lock until a new power cycle. If the network connection is successfully negotiated, status and control data from the tag can be retrieved by either an iGATE user interface or via a MATTS handheld (figure 2) .

mLOCK Quick Start Manual Rev 1.3 mLOCK Commissioning: The mLOCK is commissioned for operation via the 802.15.4 radio link. The mLOCK network utilizes local base station gateways to forward schedules and control lock behavior for each commissioned trip. The user interface for the mLOCK utilizes Internet based html interface (figure 3) that allows customers to configure the lock firmware using encrypted radio commands for the following, 1) Load GPS waypoints to enable geographic operation of the mLOCK 2) Program gateway destinations address to enable automatic lock operations on network Association 3) Set over due schedule alarms if a lock is overdue for arrival 4) Set data logging intervals for location and motion detection thresholds 5) Program remote (key chain) ID’s to allow authorized mLOCK operation using iControl mLOCK miKEY keyfob’s. NOTE: Please refer to the miKIT Users Manual for obtaining web access and iGATE configuration to control the mLOCK.Figure 3 mLOCK Web based control - 3 – iControl Incorporated http://www.iControl-Inc.com
mLOCK Quick Start Manual Rev 1.3 Lock Operation: To open the lock shackle, the lock mechanism must be enabled via the radio network or via a pre-programmed GPS waypoint (figure 4). The lock mechanism internally enables the operation of the lock latch. Once the lock mechanism is unlocked, the user opens the lock hasp by pressing the actuator button on the side of the lock and pulling the hasp out of the lock body. Even if the lock actuator is enabled, the hasp will not open with out operating the button actuator. Note: For proper GPS tracking, the mLOCK must be installed vertically hanging from the padlock hasp. Figure 4 Opening a mLOCK - 4 – iControl Incorporated http://www.iControl-Inc.com
