Import KeysImport Keys and CodebooksThe first step in setting up a new system is to import information regarding the keys and to be used in the system. If the system alsocylindersincludes the remote programmer accessory, specific information related to this special programmer will also need to be imported into the system. Medeco offers two different methods available to perform this informational import process. One option is that Medeco can provide the key information in a file defined as security data packets or codebooks. There are codebook files forkeys (key codebook), cylinders (cylinder codebook), and the remote programmer accessory (remote programmer codebook). Codebooks areemailed directly from the Medeco factory as attachments; the attachment containing the codebook for keys will have a .kbk file extension, theattachment containing a codebook for cylinders will have a file extension of .lbk and the attachment for remote programmers will have a file, extension of .rbk.A second and more efficient option is to directly import codebooks from the factory. This option allows for an even greater ease to import therespective codebook information into the XT Web software. Import Keys DirectlyThe codebook for keys is directly imported to the XT Web manager for systems that are hosted by Medeco. Once the codebook is successfullytransferred to the Medeco hosted XT Web server, it is listed in the table on the page as "Pending".Import CodebooksStep 1 The "Pending Codebooks" table lists the codebook type, quantity, and submission date, which are directly transferred by Medeco. The codebookrecord also displays an 'Accept' and a 'Remove' button. To complete the import process, select the 'Accept' button for the codebook. All keyinformation is promptly imported and populated into XT Web. The 'Remove' button allows the codebook to be deleted from the table.Step 2After the import completes, select the page of the Medeco XT Web manager. This page shows a table that lists the imported keys whichKeyscan then be viewed and managed.Import Keys via EmailStep 1Attached with the email received by Medeco, save the key security data packet or codebook file to the computer. Importing Codebooks from the FactoryDirect import of the codebooks from the Factory is a feature provided to those systems that are hosted on the Medeco XT Web servers.
Step 2To add keys into the Medeco XT Web Manager, select the link located in the menu in the top, right corner. Then select the Administration Impolink, as shown below.rt Codebooks Select the button and select the codebook file (examplefile.kbk) saved to the computer. Then select the button.Browse Upload The key codebook files must be uploaded individually. When a file is successfully uploaded, a message similar to the one shown below willappear near the top of the screen. Step 3By selecting the page, a list of the imported keys can be viewed and managed.Keys
Memory Type - Keys designated with a "2X" Memory Type are extended memory keys that contain twice (2X) the memory size of standard keys(1X). Assign to UsersAssignSelect the tab in the horizontal menu near the top of the page. A list of all the keys that have been imported into the system will appear. IfKeyskeys do not display in the table, refer to . Importing KeysTo assign a key to a user, expand the to view the user. Find the key that will be assigned to the . In the example below, the keysystem tree userwith the number 000-506-808 will be assigned to the user Jim Walters.Once the desired key and user are found, select and hold the key number, and drag and drop it over the user name when the name highlights.
The key assignment can be viewed in the Tree and on the Keys table. Assigning Multiple Keys to a UserNote: A can only have one assigned. That is, a user and key assignment are a one-to-one relationship (1 user to 1 key). Ifuser keymore than one key is desired to be assigned to a user, then the user needs to be created for each additional key assignment. Please
UnassignTo unassign a key from a user, expand the node beside the user name in the tree to view the serial number of the currently assigned key. Rightclick the key number that appears under the user name, and select in the box that will appear below the key serial number. When the Unassignkey is unassigned from the user, the name of the user will also be removed on the table. KeysA key can also be unassigned by moving the key to another available user. When a key is not assigned to a user, it is then visible at the globalor highest level.group Key Audit SettingIntroductionTo effectively manage the available capacity of the key memory and the audit being recorded, the key audit memory can be configured to functionin two different modes; a "Static Audit" mode or a "Rolling Audit" mode. More information on the description and selection of these specific keyaudit modes is presented below. The audit mode of the Key is configured during the process of creating a for the key. ScheduleStatic AuditIn the Mode, the key will record audit events each time the key touches a cylinder. When the audit memory of the key is filled, theStatic Auditkey will become disabled until the key is again serviced (refreshed). During servicing of the key, the audit is transferred from the key's memory tothe database, and the key once again becomes active. The primary consideration in using a key configured in a Static Audit mode is that all auditnote that when , the login credentials must be uniquely defined. As an example, Jim Walters can be assigned keycreating the user000-506-808 and key 000-642-743 by creating the user Jim Walter twice noting that the login credentials are uniquely defined. Users with more than one key assigned will display on the Schedule Table as respective rows.Unassigning Keys and Active Key SchedulesNote: Keys cannot be unassigned from a User if the key is currently associated with an key schedule. If so, the key scheduleactivemust first be from the Schedule page before the key can be unassigned. disabled
recorded by the key will be "forced" back into the software database during the required servicing of the key. This process should beconsidered when maintaining a full and accurate historical perspective of the system is desired. Rolling AuditIn the Mode, the Key will manage audit events on a First-In-First-Out (F-I-F-O) basis. When the audit memory of the key is filled,Rolling Auditthe key will continue to function by actively managing the filled memory condition by "rolling" out the first recorded audit event (oldest eventrecorded on the key) and recording or storing the most recent audit event. The primary consideration in using a key configured in a Rolling Auditmode is that only the audit events that are stored on the key at the time of servicing will be transferred back to the software database. If the keyhas exercised a F-I-F-O condition (meaning that the key memory has filled), then some audits may have been processed off the key prior to thekey being serviced. As a result, any audit removed from the key based on the F-I-F-O condition will not be transferred to the software databaseand, therefore, will not be historically retained. However, keys having the Rolling Audit mode selected at time of servicing will never need to beserviced based on the audit memory being filled.
Key Generations, Key Types, and Special Regulatory CompliancesKey GenerationsThe following summarizes the various generations of the Medeco XT keys.Generation 1 (G1) – Standard memory size (1X). This generation key is no longer available.Generation 2 (G2) – Expanded memory size (2X).Generation 3 (G3S) - Enhanced to allow for new features and increased performance. Target release date Q4 2016.Generation 3 (G3B) - Includes all features of G3 with added Bluetooth capability. Target release date Q4 2016.Key TypesA Medeco XT key can be serviced to unlock cylinders, audit cylinders, remove and install cylinders, or load blacklists onto cylinders. Theseinclude the following different key types:Operator Key – standard key used for unlocking cylinders. The Operator key is serviced with a key schedule containing a list of cylindersassociated with the access points (doors, gates, machines, etc.) and with an authorized time duration of the schedule. The Operator keyalso records an audit for every authorized or unauthorized attempt to open a cylinder. During opening of a cylinder, the Operator key willretrieve from the cylinder the last three most recent unauthorized key opening attempts that the cylinder has stored. Audit Key – key used for collecting from cylinders. The Audit key is serviced with a key schedule containing only the authorizedauditstime duration of the schedule. The Audit key can retrieve audit from any cylinder in the system. When creating a schedule for an audit key,the amount of audits to be retrieved from each cylinder is selectable, from 1, to a maximum of 2751. Audit keys do not open cylinders. Audit keys are serviced using the mode by default. The option does not apply to Audit keys.Static Audit Rolling AuditOperator Plus Audit Key – This key type allows users to access openings in your system. Key and cylinder activity is logged and will beuploaded to the system when serviced.Setup Key – key used to load into cylinders. The Setup key is serviced with a key schedule containing a list of the cylinders toblacklistsreceive the key blacklist, the authorized time duration of the schedule, and a list of keys to be blacklisted. When the Setup key contacts thecylinder, the cylinder stores the key blacklist. The term "blacklist" pertains to a list of keys (active or inactive) whose access will beoverridden or blocked by the cylinder. An example of when to consider a key for blacklisting is if a key is lost or stolen. Setup keys do notopen cylinders. Setup keys are serviced using the mode by default. The option does not apply to Setup keys.Static Audit Rolling AuditControl Key – is a special-use key to install and remove Small Format Interchangeable Core (SFIC) cylinders. This key type is onlyneeded for systems containing Medeco's Medeco XT SFIC cylinders. The Control key is serviced with a key schedule containing a list ofcylinders (to be installed or removed) and with an authorized time duration of the schedule. Additional details on the function of the Controlkey for managing SFIC cylinders (installing and removing the core) can be obtained by contacting Medeco Technical Services. Controlkeys are serviced using the mode by default. The option does not apply to Control keys.Static Audit Rolling AuditA Note on Regulatory Compliances, Generation 3 Keys with Bluetooth Capability (G3B) Contains: FCC ID: VR3-20736IC: 7465A-20736HVIN: EA-020736BLE 20736S module over which Medeco retains control of the final installation.

Key Firmware Update FeatureFrom time to time, the "firmware" (or software) that is currently installed or residing on Medeco XT keys may be updated to support new MedecoXT Web Manager software features or enhancements. The key firmware update process is governed by the Key Client application and isdesigned to occur during normal key servicing. The following steps outline the key firmware update process:The keyholder returns their key to the Key Programmer for routine schedule updating.The keyholder inserts the key into the key Programmer.The Key Client begins the typical process to service the key.The key is InitializedAudits are removed from the key and stored in the databaseAt this point, the Key Client application will interrupt the routine scheduling process to download the file containing the new firmware tothe key. The Key Client begins to download the new firmware file to the key. During the entire time that the firmware file is downloaded to the key, the Client application will display a progress bar indicatingthe % complete. Typically this process takes approximately 50-60 seconds. After the file is successfully downloaded to the key, the key will retrieve the file and complete the firmware installation.When the firmware installation is complete, a message will display to remove the key and reinsert the Key. The Key Client will completethe final steps of the routine scheduling process. Key Firmware UpdateAs is typical during key servicing, the key should not be removed from the Key Programmer until a successful Green LED or Red LEDis illuminated on the key.
