5.7.3. Programming E-Plex Locks (Offline Lock Setup)
To program a lock, the lock must first be placed in
Communications mode. Once in Communications mode,
you have a 30-second window during which you can
program the lock. This procedure requires the use of
Command Cards. Refer to the “E-Plex 7900 Command
Cards User Guide” (KD10090-E) for more information.
To place an E-Plex 7900 lock in Communications mode,
perform one the following steps depending on which mode
the lock is in:
1. If the lock is in Factory mode:
Present the Factory Communication command card to
the door reader to initiate Communications Mode. The
door lock can now communicate with the M-Unit.
2. If the lock is in Full Feature mode:
A user with Master or Manager privilege can present
the Communication card followed by their User Access
card to the door lock reader. An M-Unit credential can
also establish communication. The door lock can now
communicate with the M-Unit.
5.7.4. Transferring Program File to the Lock
To program the E-Plex lock with the data transferred
from the Aurora/LUNA software client to the M-Unit,
perform the following steps:
Note: If the 30-second window expires at any point during
this process, simply repeat the procedure.
1. Attach the Programming Unit Adaptor onto the lock
by mounting it to the top of the lock, over the card
reader, using the arms to secure it in place. Insert the
other end of the cable into the serial port on the
bottom of the M-Unit.
2. Power up the M-Unit and enter you login information
and password.
3. From the M-Unit’s main screen, select “Door” by
pressing the left-most arrow button directly below
the Door icon on the screen.
4. Choose “Program” by either pressing the
corresponding number on the M-Unit keypad or by
scrolling through the menu options with the up/down
arrows and pressing the ENTER button.
5. Choose the data file you wish to program onto the
lock by using the up/down arrows to highlight the file
name then pressing ENTER. The M-Unit will then
decrypt the file, which will take a few seconds.
6. The screen will display “Put Lock into
Communications mode”. If your lock wasn’t placed in
Communications Mode or has timed out, follow the
procedure as described earlier in this section.
7. Select “OK” by pressing the right-most arrow button
below the screen. “Writing Lock Config” appears
onscreen while the M-Unit programs the lock.
8. “Programmed Successfully” will display onscreen
upon completion. Select OK by pressing the right-
most arrow button below the screen to return to the
main menu. Programming is now complete.
