Locks – Using and Programming
Kaba Ilco Lodging Access Control System 133
4 & 4XT. Either a lock or a RAC can be used on any door, to accommodate the door
hardware.
Locks and RACs arrive from the factory with the operating system installed, but
without an identity as belonging to a particular Guest room, Common Area or
Restricted Area. The lock’s internal clock also needs to be set to the internal time of the
FDU when first initialized or following a battery replacement. These settings are
programmed by the FDU using the lock communication cable and a Programming
keycard that prepares the lock to receive data from the FDU. Note that RACs don’t
require the programming keycard. A Programming Authorization or higher keycard is
required to access the programming functions of the lock.
IMPORTANT: Do not attempt to read or encode any keycard (including
Authorization, Programming and Initialization keycards) while the
communication cable is connected between the FDU and the lock
or RAC. Connect the cable just before sending or reading the
information.
Figure 5.3: The communication cable is connected to Serial Port A on the rear of the FDU, and then inserted in the
reader slot of the lock or card reader so that the infrared communication device is level with the indicator
window.
5.3.1 Lock Addresses

the same name. Addresses are a sub-division of the level. For example, the Guest levels
may be divided into 16,000 addresses, one for each access type. The Sub-Master levels
may each be divided into 255 addresses (e.g. Section 1 to Section 255). The Master level
has only one address since these keycards are valid throughout the property. The different
