Several other configurations are possible (see Appendix C for some examples). 1 Introduction 1.1 ZigBee standard With the online option, the locks can both send and retrieve information. Commands can be sent from the front desk to the lock. For example, a guest can change rooms without needing to go to the reception. Events are directly sent to the TimeLox DC-One server. The online option is based on the ZigBee standard, a new standard for transmission of data via radio. The ZigBee devices have low power consumption and the standard is aimed at control applications with relatively low data rate. This section describes the online network topology all the way from the server to the lock. Commands sent from the server to a lock will pass through the items in the order they are mentioned. Answers will pass through the same items but in the opposite direction. • Based on IEEE 802.15.4 (Open ISM 2.4GHz band; ISM = industrial, scientific and medical). • 16 Channels spread spectrum (DSSS, Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum) • 250kbit/s (~2kbit/s @ 1% duty-cycle) • Consists of a virtually unlimited number of small networks (PANs, personal area networks). © Timelox AB 2009 66 3081 004-10 Below are some basic facts for the standard: 1.2 Server • Routers are externally powered. The server is the manager of the whole network for a property. It can manage a virtually unlimited number of gateways. All commands sent from the server are encrypted. • The router can have either five routers or 15 endnodes connected. • There can be a maximum of five hops down the gateway (i.e. gateway – router – router – router – router – endnode). This limits the physical coverage of a PAN. 1.3 Gateway The gateways connect to the server via TCP/IP or RS-485. It automatically adjusts to 10 or 100 Mbit/s networks. In the TCP/IP case, the gateway starts by retrieving an IP address via DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol). The gateway then automatically finds the server. Note: Timelox recommends a maximum of three hops, i.e. gateway – router – router – end node, down the gateway. The link quality index (LQI) should be at least 30%. See section 1.11 for more information about the LQI. The gateway contains functionality for coordination of a PAN (Personal Area Network). The PAN is a wireless network that communicates on the 2.4GHz band. The gateway allows routers (see section 1.4) and endnodes (see section 1.5) to join the PAN and assigns network addresses. Each ZigBee node has a unique 64-bit IEEE address similar to Mac addresses used in TCP/IP. See Appendix A for more information about the router, including a detailed picture. The gateway chooses which of the 16 channels in the 2.4GHz band the nodes in the PAN should use. An endnode is built into each lock. It is optimized for low power consumption. The parent router will act as a buffer for commands from the server. A command sent from the server to a lock will be sent from the gateway to the lock’s parent router. The command will be sent through the routers that may be located between the gateway and the lock’s parent router. • The gateway is powered either over Ethernet or by a power adapter. • The total number of gateways is virtually unlimited. • The maximum theoretical limit of endnodes per PAN is high, but a practical limit is some hundred. In most cases, only some ten to 20 endnodes will be connected to each gateway. However, this can change due to the building construction, materialwise etc. • The gateway can have either five routers or 15 endnodes connected. See Appendix B for preferred way of mounting the router. See Appendix C for configuration examples. 1.5 Endnode Any message sent from the lock will be passed on to the server through the parent router, any intermediate routers and the gateway. Messages from the lock are sent instantly. • 1.6 Lock See Appendix A for more information about the gateway, including a detailed picture. The locks are the destination for commands and the source of events. See Appendix B for preferred way of mounting the gateway. • See Appendix C for configuration examples. The lock and the endnode are powered by six AA cells in a special package. See Appendix A for an exploded view of a lock. 1.4 Router 1.7 Permit joining/Forbid joining A router acts either as a repeater for range extension, or as a parent for endnodes. It will also act as a buffer for messages sent to endnodes connected to the router. © Timelox AB 2009 66 3081 004-10 The total number of endnodes is virtually unlimited. In order to prevent nodes from joining randomly, “permit joining” can for each PAN only be made at one router or its “parent gateway” at a time. When a heard instead. In this case, make a new try by inserting the Orphan Join card again. node is to be joined to the PAN, “permit joining” must be made at the router or gateway that shall be its parent. When the node has joined, “forbid joining” should be made at the parent. “Forbid joining” will automatically be made on the parent after 15 minutes in case it is forgotten. 1.10 SysMon and TimeLox DC-One The System Monitor (SysMon; found in the folder where TimeLox DC-One has been installed) is used for managing the online network. In SysMon all connected gateways, routers and endnodes are shown. There are two different operator levels for the online option in SysMon: Note: It is only possible to make “permit joining” at one RT per PAN at a time. If you make “permit joining” at one RT and then at another RT in the same PAN, the first RT will automatically make “forbid joining”. The commands for “permit joining” and “forbid joining” are sent from SysMon (see section 1.10 for more information about SysMon). The “permit joining”/“forbid joining” states of routers can also be toggled by pressing the F1 button. The LED on the router indicates “permit joining” by fast blinking (short blink every 0.5 seconds). “Forbid joining” is indicated by slow blinking (short blink every two seconds). See Appendix A for a router picture with buttons, LED etc. system manager and other operators for which “Allow changing the settings in the ‘Options’ dialog” has been marked under the Options alternative at Tools/Operator Template X-reference in TimeLox DC-One. • other operators. Note: If the distributor is going to log on to SysMon, system manager must be logged on first. System manager and other operators for which “Allow changing the settings in the ‘Options’ dialog” has been marked can perform all online operations in SysMon (except for those on distributor level), while other operators can basically only look in SysMon. 1.8 Discovery Discovery is the process when a node shall join a PAN. It starts by the node broadcasting a discovery message. Any plausible parent will answer and the node will join the one on which “permit joining” has been made, provided that it is within range. Online settings and commands are made in the TimeLox DC-One client; see sections 6 Settings in DC-One and 7 Online Commands in DC-One. Different operator templates can be given different authorities to give online commands; see section 6.1 Setting up operator templates. For supervision of the system, see sections 4 Commissioning and 5 General in DC-One. If a dialog should be refreshed due to online changes, this is shown with a * in the dialog header (see example in the following screenshot). Click the Refresh button in the dialog. Routers make discovery when given a reset while the F1 button is being pressed (see Appendix A for a router picture with buttons). An endnode makes discovery when a Discovery card (see section about ZigBee configuration card in User manual TimeLox DC-One, Art. No 865 100) is inserted into the lock. When the card is inserted, the lock will chirp once. If the endnode in the lock is busy at the moment, a tick will be heard instead. In this case, make a new try by inserting the Discovery card again. 1.11 Link quality The Link Quality Index (LQI) is an average percentage that should not be below 30%. It is displayed when the mouse hovers over a node in the SysMon ZigBee view; see example in the screenshot below. See section 2.3 for information about how to log on to SysMon and find the ZigBee view. 1.9 Orphan join As it can take up to three hours for the endnodes to get online after recovery from a power cut, there is an Orphan Join card (see section about ZigBee configuration card in User manual TimeLox DC-One, Art. No 865 100) that will initiate an orphan join when inserted into a lock. When the card is inserted, the lock will chirp once. If the endnode in the lock is busy at the moment, a tick will be © Timelox AB 2009 66 3081 004-10 • Note: The LQI value which is shown when the mouse hovers over a node is not an instantaneous value but an average (the last instantaneous value, with timestamp, is however shown within parantheses after the average). To get an instantaneous value of the LQI, right click on a gateway, router or endnode in the SysMon ZigBee view and choose Get User Description. The LQI is valid for the link between the node and its parent. If the LQI is below 25%, the dot in front of the node in SysMon is yellow; see example below. If the LQI is below 15%, the dot in front of the node is SysMon is red; see example below. 1.12 Abbreviations In the rest of this user manual, the following abbreviations are used: GW = gateway RT = router EN = endnode PAN = personal area network © Timelox AB 2009 66 3081 004-10 2.2 Server installation 2 Installation The online devices were designed to allow for maximum flexibility during installation. There are no particular location specifications as long as the devices are within reasonable range of each other and good radio communication can be attained. Generally, the range is however around 20 metres or through a wall. The range of the devices depends to large extent on the building material(s) in the surroundings. As much effort as possible should be made to securely install each device in a location where it will be dry, cool, and undisturbed, yet still maintain good radio contact with its parent or children. • The Timelox DC-One server must be connected to the same network that the GW devices will be connected to • The Timelox DC-One server must have the online option installed (see section 2.1). 1. Before you install the first GW device, you must add a ZigBee gateway to the device list in DC-One (double click on Devices under the Lists tab in the navigation window and click Add to add a new device) using the following parameters: This section will describe how to install the online option in the TimeLox DC-One software, and also discuss the installation methods for each device in the system as well as options for forcing devices to connect to specific parent devices. Software requirement • TimeLox DC-One 1.7.0 or later is needed 2.1 Option installation The online option must be installed in the Timelox DC-One software. An operator with the authority to handle option codes must be logged on when options are set. System ID must be set before any option can be installed. Normally, options are set by the system manager or the distributor. 2. When the fields have been filled in according to the screenshot above (port 7799 is pre-filled as default when choosing “ZigBee gateway” at Type), click Save and Close. Note: The same device is used for all GWs. 1. 2. Go to Tools/Option code. Click Read card and insert the option card in the encoder. The card will be overwritten and can only be used once. 2. OR Enter the option code (supplied distributor) and click Apply. © Timelox AB 2009 66 3081 004-10 by For testing and commissioning purposes it is a good idea to have either a laptop with DC-One installed which you can use to directly connect to gateways as they are installed, or a laptop with a connection to the live TimeLox DC-One server. This will allow you to test radio signal strength as you are installing the devices on each floor so issues can be addressed immediately. Note: The network information is stored in the GWs and not in the laptop. the 2.2.1 TL Concentrator TL Concentrator is a utility for simplifying the setup of a firewall when the GWs are located on a different network. TLConcentrator runs on the ZigBee server and listens for GWs on one port and forwards all traffic to the TimeLox DC-One server on another port. All traffic from the TimeLox DC-One server is sent to the correct GW. In this way, the firewall will only have to be set up to allow sockets from the ZigBee server. The alternative would be to set up the firewall to allow sockets for every GW. This would add implications, especially when adding or exchanging GWs. 2.2.1.2 TL Concentrator monitor 2.2.1.1 TL Concentrator setup It is possible to monitor the traffic through TLConcentrator using TLConcentrator.exe /monitor. The TimeLox DC-One software on the TimeLox DC-One server is set up to listen for GWs on port 7799. This is where TLConcentrator will connect. TLConcentrator is set up to listen for GWs on port 7798 and to open sockets on the TimeLox DC-One server using port 7799. 1. Go to Start/Run. 2. Browse to the DC-One installation folder, mark TLConcentrator.exe and click Open. To set up these parameters: 3. Add /monitor 1. Go to Start/Run. Note: There should be a space before / 2. Browse to the DC-One installation folder, mark TLConcentrator.exe and click Open. 4. Click OK. The following dialog (with example statistics) is shown. 3. Add /config Note: There should be a space before / 4. Click OK. A Configuration dialog will be shown. 1. Let the default 7798 be at Listen Port. 2. State the host’s IP address at Host Address. 3. Let the default 7799 be at Host Port. 2.3 Gateway installation © Timelox AB 2009 66 3081 004-10 10 • The GW is powered by 9VDC using a plug in wall power adapter, or via power over Ethernet. • For network connectivity the GW requires an available Ethernet port and a patch cord. Power and network connections should be made in a manner that will reduce the chances of the device being unplugged. 1. Open the System Monitor (SysMon), which is used for managing the online network. To open SysMon, double click on SysMon.exe in the DC-One installation folder. 2. Log on to SysMon: go to File/Log on and enter user ID and password. At “Operator card”, choose the appropriate card encoder. Click Enter. 7. Right click on the new GW to bring up the device option menu and choose Edit Name. 8. Name the GW something meaningful – it should generally indicate the GW’s location or coverage area. 3. If it is not open already, open SysMon’s ZigBee view at View/ZigBee. The ZigBee view of SysMon shows all connected GWs, RTs and ENs. Several useful commands are available by right clicking on nodes (see sections 2.9.1-2.9.3 for more information about the different commands). 2.4 Adding routers to a gateway The RT is powered by 5VDC using a plug in wall power adapter or a wired transformer. No wired Ethernet network connection is required as it communicates with the GW via radio. The recommended installation method is to use the enclosed VELCRO® strip to attach the RT to a wall or some other convenient location. 4. Mount the GW in a convenient, out of the way location using the VELCRO® strip. 5. Connect the network cable and power cable to the GW. As described in section 1.10 SysMon and TimeLox DC-One, system manager and other operators for which “Allow changing the settings in the ‘Options’ dialog” has been marked have the authority to perform all online operations in SysMon (except for those on distributor level). In sections 2.9.1-2.9.3, it is described what operations that are available for all operators and what operations that can only be performed by system manager and other operators for which “Allow changing the settings in the ‘Options’ dialog” has been marked. 6. After approximately 30 seconds the GW will announce itself to the server and appear as a new GW in the ZigBee tree in SysMon. © Timelox AB 2009 66 3081 004-10 11 1. To add an RT to the online network, right click on the GW the RT should join and choose Permit Joining. 5. Hold your mouse over the device to view the RF link quality (LQI) between the RT and the GW. It shows the average LQI followed by the last measurement with timestamp in parentheses. Note: The LQI should not be below 30%. 2. Hold your mouse over the GW name and a box will pop up containing some information about that device. At the bottom of that box you will see it says Join permitted, indicating that the GW now allows new connections. 6. While the GW still says Join permitted when holding the mouse over the GW, plug in any additional RTs as needed (up to five per GW) and name them. 7. Hold your mouse over each RT to check the LQI making sure it is within acceptable limits. 3. When the RT has been mounted with the VELCRO® strip, press the F1 button on the RT while connecting power to the RT. The RT will power up and automatically begin looking for a parent device to associate with. It will discover the GW on which Permit Joining has been made, announce itself, and appear in the ZigBee tree in SysMon. 8. When all desired RTs have been added to the GW, right click on the GW and choose Forbid Joining. 4. Right click on the RT and choose Edit Name to name the RT something meaningful. In our example we have named it “RT 620-623” to indicate the group of rooms that will be attached to that RT. © Timelox AB 2009 66 3081 004-10 12 9. Hold your mouse over the GW to confirm it no longer says Join permitted. 3. 2.5 Adding endnodes to a router Forbid Joining. The EN is the radio board inside the door lock unit. This device should not be confused with the lock electronics themselves, and when trouble-shooting communication or lock issues care should be taken to diagnose the correct piece of hardware. 2.6 Using routers as repeaters In the event there are locks that are not in range of a GW and RT combination, an additional RT can be added for extended range. 1. Add the GW and first RT as normal. This first RT will act as a repeater between the GW and the 2nd RT which will be communicating with the locks. In our example we named the first RT “RPTR 620-623” to indicate that it will act as a repeater for the RT serving 620-623. 1. To add an EN to an RT, right click on the RT the EN should join and choose Permit Joining (or press the F1 button on the RT). Hold your mouse over the RT to verify that joining is permitted. 2. Choose Forbid Joining on the GW and Permit Joining on the 1st RT. 2. Insert the Discovery card (see section about ZigBee configuration card in User manual TimeLox DC-One, Art. No 865 100) in the lock. The lock will chirp once to indicate it has read the card, and will start searching for the RT on which Permit Joining has been made to join. When it finds the RT it will announce itself to the server and appear in the ZigBee tree. 3. Plug in the 2nd RT. The 2nd RT will find and attach itself to the 1st RT. 4. Choose Forbid Joining on the 1st RT. Name the 2nd RT and choose Permit Joining on it. 5. Insert the Discovery card (see section about ZigBee configuration card in User manual TimeLox DC-One, Art. No 865 100) in the lock; the lock will chirp once. The lock will find and attach itself to the RT on which Permit Joining has been made, and when the first event is After the lock sends its first event, the room number that is programmed in the lock will automatically fill in. This can be forced by inserting a working key in the lock. © Timelox AB 2009 66 3081 004-10 Hold your mouse over the lock to verify the LQI is within acceptable limits. Continue adding additional locks to the RT as needed. When finished, right click on the RT and choose 13 received from the lock the room number will fill in. are connected to the parent that makes the most sense. 6. Add all the necessary locks and choose Forbid nd Joining on the 2 RT. If a situation arises in which a device is connected to the wrong parent, it is easy enough to force the child device to leave the network and rejoin properly. If a right click is made on the child device in SysMon, and the Leave network command is chosen, the child device will deregister from the parent so another node can join. The rejoining to a new parent can then be performed in two different ways; either by using the Add Node command or by using the Permit Joining command. With the Add Node command, you do not have to make discovery on the new device when it is added to its parent. Note that the RT acting as a repeater is only capable of communicating to the GW and the 2nd RT; it is not possible at this time to repeat signals to a 2nd RT and communicate directly with locks at the same time. An example when a child device is connected to the wrong parent would be that an EN is within range of both RT-A and RT-B. Signal strength between the EN and RT-A is 32%, while signal strength between the EN and RT-B is 75%. In this case it is a good idea to force the EN to connect to RT-B. 2.7 Adding locks to gateways There may be cases where the locks will communicate directly with the GW. To do this: 1. Choose Permit Joining on the GW and insert the Discovery card (see section about ZigBee configuration card in User manual TimeLox DC-One, Art. No 865 100) in the lock; the lock will chirp once. The lock will attach itself to the GW on which Permit Joining has been made, and when the first event is received the room number will automatically fill in. To force the EN by using the Add Node command: 1. Hover with the mouse over the EN in SysMon's ZigBee view and make a note of the IEEE address of the EN. 2. Right click on the EN and choose Leave network. The EN will deregister from RT-A. 3. Important: Wait for 40 seconds to avoid confusing RT-A from which the EN has deregistered. 4. Right click on RT-B and choose Add Node. The following dialog is shown. 2. Add the necessary locks and then choose Forbid Joining on the GW. Note: RTs cannot be connected to a GW which has got ENs connected to it. 2.8 Forcing parents If a device such as an EN sees two RTs when it is in discovery mode (i.e. if “permit joining” has by mistake been made on two RTs belonging to different PANs at the same time), it is possible that the EN will not join the desired RT – i.e. the RT with which it has the strongest RF link. For this reason it is recommended that GWs, RTs and ENs be installed in a systematic way to ensure all devices © Timelox AB 2009 66 3081 004-10 5. Choose the appropriate Network Address in the drop-down list (see example in the following screenshot). Note: The Add node command only works on Z-stack devices. 14 joining RTs, RTs joining GWs, and ENs joining GWs. If the node that should be forced is an RT, the Add New Node dialog should be filled in according to the following steps: 6. Enter the IEEE Address of the EN and click OK. 1. Mark the “Router” check box. 2. Choose the appropriate Network Address in the drop-down list (see example in the screenshot above). 3. Enter the IEEE Address of the RT and click OK. 2.9 Right-click menus in SysMon To force the EN by using the Permit Joining command: When right clicking on GWs, RTs and ENs in SysMon, different choices appear depending on what item you right click on. The different choices are described in the following sections. 1. Right click on the EN and choose Leave Network. The EN will deregister from RT-A. Note: If another operator than system manager or an operator for which “Allow changing the settings in the ‘Options’ dialog” has been marked is logged on to SysMon, several choices in the right-click menus will be grayed. In the following description of the different menu choices, it is also stated which choices that are only available for sym etc. Other operators than sym can basically look in SysMon but not perform any operations. 2. Important: Wait for 40 seconds to avoid confusing RT-A from which the EN has deregistered. 3. Make sure that Forbid Joining has been chosen for RT-A and that Permit Joining has been chosen for RT-B. 4. Insert a Discovery card (see section about ZigBee configuration card in User manual TimeLox DC-One, Art. No 865 100) in the EN door lock; the lock will chirp once. The EN will immediately begin to look for an available parent, and since RT-A is in “forbid joining” mode, RT-B will be its only option. Note: In sections 2.9.1-2.9.3, “sym only” means system manager or another operator for which “Allow changing the settings in the ‘Options’ dialog” has been marked. 5. Once the EN has joined the correct RT, choose Forbid Joining on RT-B. The two methods above with Add Node and Permit Joining respectively can also be applied to RTs © Timelox AB 2009 66 3081 004-10 15 2.9.1 Right-click menu choices for GWs Edit Name (sym only) – edits the node’s name in the database Memory Dump (sym only) – reads the memory; only used by Technical support Remove (sym only) – removes the GW from the database Upgrade Firmware in PAN Coordinator (sym only) – loads a new firmware into the PAN coordinator.

Events are sent from the lock as they occur. Should there be any events in the queue, the first queued event is sent instead. In TimeLox DC-One, several online commands are available. See section 3.2.1 below and also see section 7 Online Commands in DC-One for more information. Certain situations (see sections 3.2.2-3.2.4) give an alert, warning or alarm. Cancellation of card © Timelox AB 2009 66 3081 004-10 Blocking and unblocking of user groups • Read-out of missing events Sequential intruder* Report event (128 different reporting cards) Too many guest cards HotSOS error* Door ajar* Lock emergency open* Lock stand open* Inncom offline* Wandering intruder Time in the lock is off* Watchlist card used First usage of guest card Invalid staff card usage Emergency card is encoded Battery alarm* Housekeeping failed* Alarms are shown in the alarm list of DC-One. Items marked with an asterisk are automatically revoked from the alarm list if they are revoked in reality, e.g. door ajar is revoked when the door is closed. 3.2.1 Commands The commands that are sent online to the locks include: • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • 3.2 Online functionality Check-out of guest Remote open/stand open/emergency open and clear stand open/emergency close 3.2.4 Alarms Alarms are situations that require immediate action. The following alarm types are available: 3.1.3 Fallback The time between retransmissions will be doubled until it reaches three hours. As soon as an acknowledgement is received, the retransmission time is reset to two minutes. If an acknowledgement has not been received after three hours, the last event from the lock will be retransmitted. • • 3.2.3 Warnings When a door has been offline for the time set up at Tools/Options/Online/Status in DC-One (default is 2 hours), a warning is given. 3.1.2 Retransmission If there has been no acknowledgement for two minutes, the lock will retransmit the first event in the queue. Room move (add a card to the new room and cancel it from the old room, and/or change the card expiration time) Sending of parameters (time, calendar etc) 3.2.2 Alerts By filtering events it is possible to alert users about situations that may need attention. These are batterylow alarm and sequential intruder. 3.1.1 Acknowledge If there are any queued events, the lock will send the next event when the EN sends an acknowledgement to the lock. The acknowledgement will be delayed by the EN for approximately one minute in order not to flood the network. • • From the user notification list of DC-One it is possible to define which users that should be notified by e-mail (requires the mail notification option) or SMS (requires the SMS option) when alarms occur. From the user notification list, it is also possible to set up that reports should be sent via e-mail. The 18 reports can either be alarm reports, or reports about items that do not trigger alarms (e.g. a summary of issued cards). See User manual TimeLox DC-One (Art. No 865 100) for more information about the alarm list, the user notification list, the mail notification option and the SMS option. 3.3 Setting in construction mode If the network should be down for a period, e.g. during construction or renovation of the hotel, the locks should be set in construction mode to reduce battery consumption. Insert a Construction Mode card (see section about ZigBee configuration card in User manual TimeLox DC-One, Art. No 865 100) in the locks; a chirp is heard in each lock. If the EN in the lock is busy at the moment, a tick is heard instead. In this case, make a new try by inserting the Construction Mode card again. © Timelox AB 2009 66 3081 004-10 19 4 Commissioning 4.1 Printing a status report 4.2 Pinging a door SysMon provides a simple method for printing out the status of all the connected devices in the online network. While the spreadsheet described in section 4.1 is convenient in showing the communication status of the online devices, it does not show that the locks themselves are communicating with the server. To do that it is necessary to “ping” every online door from SysMon. 1. In the ZigBee view in SysMon, click the Print Status button. A ping is a simple “are you there” message sent from the server to the lock and back. The ping shows that the lock, the server, and all the devices in between are operating correctly. To ping a door in SysMon: 1. Open the Online Doors window at View/Online Doors. 2. Mark the door you want to ping and click the Ping Door button on the right. You will see the status for the door change to offline. 2. A Microsoft Excel spreadsheet will be written to the TempData folder in your DC-One installation folder. The spreadsheet provides detailed information for each connected RT and EN; see example screenshot on next page. The information written to the document includes: • name of the PAN (GW) the device is connected to • RT name • Room (if it is an EN) • IEEE address • Version for RT, EN or GW; in the last case, GW firmware as well as version in the PAN coordinator (PC) are stated • network address • • average link quality between the device and its parent time that last LQI measurement was taken • last link quality index (LQI) recorded • time for last successful command since the server was restarted (if this column says “n/a”, there has not yet been any answer from the lock) © Timelox AB 2009 66 3081 004-10 3. At the same time, you should watch the Online Command Log (found at View/Online Commands) so you can see the Ping command go out. The status in the Online Command Log will always say No answer was received within the time limit when the ping first goes out. If the ping is successful a response of OK will be sent back. If the ping fails you will not receive any other notification. You should allow up to 25 seconds for a ping to respond before labeling it a failure. 20 The screenshot shows an example of a status report; see section 4.1 for more information. As part of the commissioning process it is necessary to show that the server is able to communicate to every lock. This is shown in the last column of the status report in section 4.1. If the server has been restarted, the last column of the status report will show “n/a” for all locks – in this case the Broadcast Answers dialog (see section 7.5 Broadcast commands for further information) can be used to determine whether the locks have answered or not (for all broadcast commands except for “Ping”). As each floor or wing is completed, sign off on the status report to indicate that all of the online devices are communicating and the server is able to communicate with the locks. 4.3 Checking online status with card To check the online status directly at the lock, a Check ZigBee Status card (see section about ZigBee configuration card in User manual TimeLox DC-One, Art. No 865 100) can be used. When the card is inserted in the lock, a check is made whether the EN in the lock has still got contact with its parent or not. If a chirp is heard when the card is inserted, the lock is online; if an error beep is heard when the card is inserted, the lock is offline. If the EN in the lock is busy at the moment, a tick is heard instead. In this case, make a new try by inserting the Check ZigBee Status card again. © Timelox AB 2009 66 3081 004-10 21 5 General in DC-One 5.1 Automatic operations The following operations are performed automatically: • • • The time is at regular intervals set in all online doors to avoid unsynchronized clocks. If the calendar is used, it is sent to all online doors initially (for 12 months ahead) and if changes are made to it. The calendar is also sent to all online doors every six months. Lock parameters are transferred to the locks at initiation with initiation card, service device or HCU. If any of the “ordinary” parameters event filters, open function or open mode – or any of the online parameters door ajar time or automatic privacy – is after the first initiation changed under Tools/Options in the DC-One software, the changes are sent to the concerned online locks by broadcast. Note: Automatic privacy is not applicable. 4. 5. Check “Only online events” and click OK. The events are shown in an event report. 5.3 Router list When a router is connected, it will automatically appear in the router list of DC-One. 1. Double click on Routers under the Lists tab in the navigation window. 5.2 Online events It is possible to show only online events in DC-One. Double click on Events under the Reports tab in the navigation window. 2. Choose the applicable event search filter(s) in the left column of the Events – Search filter dialog. Note: At least one of the following requirements must be met when entering search filters: 1. • A door is selected • Maximum two selected event sub groups have been chosen 3. Click Miscellaneous in the left column of the Events – Search filter dialog. Each router’s IEEE address is shown in the router list. 1.

Mark the router in the router list and click Properties. © Timelox AB 2009 66 3081 004-10 22 2. The Name for the router is the same as the corresponding router name in SysMon. When the network is set up, the name can if desired be modified either in the DC-One dialog above or in SysMon. Note: If the name is changed in SysMon, the dialog Router Details in the DC-One client needs to be re-opened to show the new name. If the name is changed in the DC-One client, the ZigBee view in SysMon needs to be closed and open again for the change to be shown directly in SysMon. 3. If desired, enter a Description for the router. 4. Click Update and Close. Note: The IEEE address is automatically included in the router list and cannot be modified in the DC-One client. © Timelox AB 2009 66 3081 004-10 23 6 Settings in DC-One In the TimeLox DC-One software, settings for operator templates and online doors are made.

See the rest of this section 7.8 for descriptions of the different commands. 3. The Events dialog is shown. Right click on the event and choose Show history. Note: This is only possible for events that are related to a card. 4. The Changed Card List dialog is shown – see step 3 under To show card history from the card list above. 7.7 Pending cancel commands If a card has been cancelled but this command has not yet reached one or more doors, the door(s) will appear in the dialog Pending Cancel Commands. 1. Double click on Pending Cancel Commands. Note: Use a cancel card in the locks which appear in the dialog Pending Cancel Commands. Open – the door will open. Set stand open – the door will be set in stand open (unlocked) mode, i.e. no card or code will be needed to open it. © Timelox AB 2009 66 3081 004-10 32 1. 2. You will get the dialog below, where you mark the appropriate radio button for the stand open function you want to use. If “Until time is” or “For hours” is chosen, enter the corresponding field. Notify on first entry – if the mail notification option and/or SMS option is used, it is possible to notify one or more users the first time the valid guest card is used in the door after the function Notify on first entry was set. When the alternative Notify on first entry is chosen, a list of all users with e-mail address and/or cell phone will be shown. Mark the desired user in the Usersdialog and click Select. If the user has got both e-mail address and cell phone number, you will be asked to choose one of the media e-mail or SMS, or both. The user will then get an e-mail and/or SMS the first time the concerned guest card is used. If the room is rented, you will be asked whether the e-mail/SMS notification should be triggered by the current guest or the next arriving guest. See User manual TimeLox DC-One, Art. No 865 100, for more information about the mail notification option and the SMS option. Note: The notification on first entry requires that the guest’s name was entered at Issue to when the guest card was issued. Click OK. The time when stand open was set will be shown in the door list. Clear stand open – the stand open (unlocked) mode in the door will be revoked and the door will go back to normal mode again, i.e. card and/or code will be required to open it. Emergency open (can only be performed by the distributor) – the door will be set in emergency stand open mode, i.e. be unlocked until it is emergency closed. The time when emergency open was set will be shown in the door list. 7.9 Cancelling a card Emergency close – the door will be emergency closed, i.e. the emergency open will be revoked and the door will go back to normal mode again, i.e. card and/or code will be required to open it. Note: If a card cannot be used anymore at all, e.g. if When cancelling a card in the card list, it will automatically be cancelled in all online doors. it has been broken, it should be discarded. A discarded card will by default not appear in the card list. Please note the difference between discarding and cancelling a card. If a card has been lost, improperly used etc, it should be cancelled and not discarded. A cancelled card can (if found) be reencoded and used again, while a discarded card should not be used anymore at all. Checkout – the override number in the door will increase, so that none of the guest cards (guest, joiner, suite, joiner suite, guest advanced and future arrival) that have been valid in the room will be able to enter anymore. However, if a grace time has been set (see section 6.2.3 Miscellaneous for details), the cards will be able to enter during the grace time. To cancel a card: Mark as temporarily offline – the door will be offline until an event comes from the door. Show blocked groups – this alternative will show • user groups (or blocking groups) that have been blocked with the blocking command; see section 7.3 Block • blocking groups that have been automatically blocked when the guest checked in (this requires that the option auto-blocking in rented rooms is set) © Timelox AB 2009 66 3081 004-10 1. Mark a card in the card list and click Cancel card. You will get the following message: 33 2. Click OK. 3. The dialog above follows. If the card should really be cancelled, click OK. 4.

This section describes the mechanisms in place to recover from power loss as well as instructions to replace devices in case of hardware failure. 8.3 Router 8.1 Lock electronics If an RT loses power none of its children will be able to communicate to the server. When an RT loses power it will send a special SOS message to the server at least once to indicate that power may have been disconnected. If the lock electronics (not the online EN radio) have gone bad, they can be replaced with no interruption to the online network. Replace the lock electronics and put the lock back together. If power was temporarily disconnected from the EN, it will rejoin its parent on power up. A power cut is illustrated with a red dot in front of the RT in SysMon: 8.2 Endnode If an EN loses power (typically due to a dead battery or battery replacement), it will rejoin its parent on power up using an orphan join. The radio ID is already in the appropriate RT and so it is allowed to join again without requiring a technician to re-open the RT. It can take up to three hours for the ENs to get online after recovery from a power cut. Upon power up the RT will perform an orphan join and will rejoin its parent GW or RT. Any children (EN or RT) will rejoin the RT automatically by performing orphan joins after they realize they have lost their parent. If an EN needs to be replaced: 1. Make a leave on the old EN (right click on the EN in SysMon’s ZigBee view and choose Leave Network). In this way the old EN will deregister from the parent. To expedite this process in ENs: 1. Insert an Orphan Join card (see section about ZigBee configuration card in User manual TimeLox DC-One, Art. No 865 100) in the door lock of each EN; each lock will chirp once. 2. Important: Wait for 40 seconds to avoid confusing the parent from which the EN has deregistered. This may be a necessary step if the RT has been without power for an extended period of time as the ENs will only attempt an orphan join every so often (i.e. every three hours) in an attempt to conserve power. 3. Make Permit Joining on the RT to which the EN should be connected. This can be done either by right clicking on the RT in SysMon’s ZigBee view and choosing Permit Joining, or by pressing the F1 button on the RT. 4. Once Permit Joining has been made on the RT, install the new EN device in the lock. When it is powered up, insert a Discovery card (see section about ZigBee configuration card in User manual TimeLox DC-One, Art. No 865 100) in the lock; the lock will chirp once. The EN will announce itself to the server. If an RT needs to be replaced: There are in SysMon two methods to replace an RT; either by using the Add Node command or the Permit Joining command. With the Add Node command, you do not have to make discovery on the new RT when it is added to 5. After the EN has joined the network, make Forbid Joining on the RT by right clicking on © Timelox AB 2009 66 3081 004-10 35 its parent, or on the children of the old RT when they should be added to the new RT instead. you have taken a note of according to step 1 above. • At IEEE Address, enter the IEEE address that is found on the label of the new RT. • Click OK. To use the Add Node command when replacing an RT: Each RT contains a table of its connected children including RTs and ENs. A copy of this table is automatically stored on the server. In the event a defective RT should be replaced, it is possible to build up the table for the new RT by following the steps below. 8. Give the new RT a name by right clicking on it in the SysMon ZigBee view and choosing Edit Name. 9. The children of the old RT should now be added to the new RT in the SysMon ZigBee view. Right click on the new RT and choose Add Node. 1. In the SysMon ZigBee view, hover over the old RT and make a note of its network address. 2. Hover over the RTs and/or ENs which are directly under the old RT and make a note of the IEEE address and network address for each one of these RTs/ENs. 10. In the Add New Node dialog, make the following steps: 3. Right click on the old RT in the SysMon ZigBee view and choose Leave network so the new RT can instead join the parent of the old RT. 4. Important: Wait for 40 seconds to avoid confusing the parent from which the old RT has deregistered. • Mark the applicable. • At Network Address, choose in the drop-down list the 4 hex number that you have taken a note of according to step 2 above. • At IEEE Address, enter the IEEE address that you have taken a note of according to step 2 above. • Click OK. 5. Disconnect the old RT and remove it. 6. Mount and connect the new RT. 7. Make the new RT join its parent by right clicking on the parent and choosing Add Node. In the Add New Node dialog that appears, make the following steps (see example in the following screenshot): checkbox “Router” if 11. Repeat steps 9-10 for each node that should be connected to the new RT. After this, the new RT will begin communicating with its children without the need for making Permit Joining and associating RTs and ENs. To use the Permit Joining command when replacing an RT: 1. Make a leave on the old RT (right click on the RT in SysMon’s ZigBee view and choose Leave Network). In this way the old RT will deregister from the parent. • Mark the checkbox “Router”. • At Network Address, choose in the drop-down list the 4 hex number that © Timelox AB 2009 66 3081 004-10 2. Important: Wait for 40 seconds to avoid confusing the parent from which the old RT has deregistered. 3. Choose Permit Joining on the GW that the new RT should associate itself with. 36 4. Press the F1 button when powering up the new RT. The RT will make a discovery, i.e. it will search for and join the GW on which Permit Joining has been made. After this, choose Forbid Joining on the GW. 1. In the SysMon ZigBee view, hover over the different RTs and/or ENs which are directly under the old GW and make a note of the IEEE address and network address for each one of these RTs/ENs. 5. Make Permit Joining on the new RT. This can be done either by right clicking on the new RT and choosing Permit Joining, or by pressing the F1 button on the new RT. Insert a Discovery card (see section about ZigBee configuration card in User manual TimeLox DC-One, Art. No 865 100) in the door lock of each EN (each lock will chirp once) that should associate with the new RT. 2. Disconnect the old GW and remove it. 3. Mount, connect and – when the new GW appears in the SysMon ZigBee view – name the new GW. See section 2.3 Gateway installation for screenshots and more details. 4. Right click on the new GW in the ZigBee view and choose Add Node. 5. In the Add New Node dialog (see step 7 in section 8.3 Router for example screenshot), make the following steps: 6. Each EN will search for and join the new RT on which Permit Joining has been chosen. After this, make Forbid Joining on the new RT. This is done either by right clicking on the new RT and choosing Forbid Joining, or by pressing the F1 button on the new RT. • Mark the applicable. • At Network Address, choose in the drop-down list the 4 hex number that you have taken a note of according to step 1 above. • At IEEE Address, enter the IEEE address that you have taken a note of according to step 1 above. • Click OK. 8.4 Gateway If a GW loses power, none of its children (RT or EN) will be able to communicate to the server. A power cut is illustrated with a red dot in front of the GW in SysMon: “Router” if 6. Repeat steps 4-5 for each node that should be connected to the new GW. On power up the GW will reconnect to the server and any children will rejoin the GW by performing orphan joins. 7. Right click on the old GW in the SysMon ZigBee view and choose Remove. After this, the new GW will begin communicating with its children without the need for making Permit Joining and associating RTs and ENs. To expedite this process in ENs: 1. Insert an Orphan Join card (see section about ZigBee configuration card in User manual TimeLox DC-One, Art. No 865 100) in the door lock of each EN; each lock will chirp once. 8.5 Server If the server loses power, no commands can be sent to the locks. When the server is recovered it will need to query the locks to retrieve any events it may have missed while it was down. The GW regularly sends messages to the server so any interruption in power will be immediately apparent at the server. Each GW contains a table of its connected children including RTs and ENs. A copy of this table is automatically stored on the server. In the event a defective GW should be replaced, it is possible to build up the table for the new GW by following these steps: © Timelox AB 2009 66 3081 004-10 checkbox 37 9 Redundancy and recovery 9.1 Communication channel 2. By default, all 16 channels are checked since the GW will normally choose which of the 16 channels in the 2.4GHz band the nodes in the PAN should use. If a specific channel should be used, click Clear to uncheck all channels. 3. Check the desired channel(s) and click OK. If more than one channel is checked, the best one will be chosen. The ZigBee communication protocol has the built in capability to communicate on any one of 16 different channels (or frequencies). In the event that one or more channels are blocked or do not allow for adequate signal strength and stability, other channels may be used. If there are circumstances that dictate the devices should communicate on a specific channel (i.e. if there are other online devices or known inter-ference on other channels) it is possible to force the devices to stay on a specific channel. 9.2 Recovery 9.2.1 Polling In order to preserve the battery, the ENs use a scheme called polling. Each EN wakes up periodically to check (poll) its parent for messages. Any message for the node is sent as an answer to the poll. The polling is the reason of variable answering times. 1. Right click on the concerned GW in SysMon’s ZigBee view and choose Set channels; the dialog below will be shown. 9.2.2 Fallback If the poll does not give any answer five successive times, the EN has a fallback procedure. The missing answer can have two causes: • the parent is offline due to a power cut • the channel is jammed In the latter case the GW will automatically switch to another channel. The EN will start orphan joining as a fallback. This will find the parent in case there has been a channel switch. It will also find the parent in case there has been a power cut and the power returns. Due to the high power consumption of orphan joining, it will be performed at very long intervals: • Initially, the interval will be one minute. • For every time the orphan join fails, the interval is doubled until it reaches three hours. RTs have the same functionality, but as they are powered externally they will make an orphan join every 30 seconds. © Timelox AB 2009 66 3081 004-10 38 Appendix A: Online devices Status LED Gateway • red while the gateway gets its IP address • Automatic adjustment to 10 or 100 Mbit/s networks • LED off (no LED colour) while the • Powered via Ethernet or by a power adapter (9VDC) • Low power consumption • The total number of gateways is virtually unlimited • Can have either five routers or 15 endnodes connected • Case with the dimensions gateway looks for the Timelox server • steady yellow while the gateway has got contact with the Timelox server • blinking yellow when the F button is pressed for reaching the web interface where some gateway settings are made Power LED 63 mm x 144 mm x 27,5 mm (2,48" x 5,67" x 1,08") • Easy mounting (can be mounted either with adhesive VELCRO® strips or fastening screws; a package with two VELCRO® strips and two fastenings screws are enclosed) • Weight: 116 g • Flame retardant ABS • UL94 V-0 approved • Colour: RAL 7047 Mounting hole for wire saddle RS-485 connector DC plug Reset button Ethernet connector F button (this button is used for reaching the web interface where some gateway settings are made.
