9 Emergency media
Emergency media are media without expiry dates and permanent authorisations to all
locking components within an access control system. Emergency media are used in
emergencies (e.g. by the fire service) and must be kept safe. Emergency media can unlock
locking components regardless of the time. Merely the power supply of the locking
component must be on.
9.1 Issuing emergency media
Create an emergency medium (e.g. card, key fob, combi key or wristband) as described in
the Creating cards, key fobs, combi keys, and wristbands section and assign permanent
access authorisations to all access control system doors in order to issue emergency media.
Ensure that emergency media are updated in the event of system extensions to also
guarantee access to additional doors in emergencies. Emergency media also grant access to
locking components with an incorrect time settings (e.g. cylinder time reset if batteries are
empty). Please refer to Assigning authorisations and Creating authorisations for more
information on assigning and creating authorisations.
Please note that media, such as cards, key fobs, combi keys or wristbands
may also become faulty. For this reason, create a corresponding number of
emergency media, appropriate for the access control system.
We recommend exclusively using cards, key fobs, combi keys or wristbands
as emergency media as smartphones are not suitable for this purpose due
to their short battery life.
We recommend you work with areas which contain all doors associated with
the access control system to facilitate emergency media management. Then
assign a permanently valid authorisation for this area to emergency media.
