Access Management thinking ahead. With the Dialock Manager App, Haefele offers a new and smart solution for commissioning and managing the Dialock electronic locking system. For the operation of small to medium-sized systems, the Dialock Manager App enables the creation and management of locking plans. Access authorizations from simple to complex requirements can be created, quickly adapted and extended with the app. This simplifies and accelerates complete configuration and commissioning processes. Basic functions: > Programming and commissioning of up to three terminals > Programming of user keys (unlimited) > Use of door-open alarm 20 sec (not editable) Full range of functions (licence-dependent): > Hardware programming including specific device settings > Locking plan creation including time models > Simple key generation > Management of access rights and deletion of transponders > Firmware updates of the terminals via the mobile device > Function check of the hardware > Add-on functionalities (customer-specific additional functions) The mobile terminal must have Bluetooth® Low Energy and Near Field Communication (NFC). Transponders are simply read into the app via NFC and can be deleted just as easily. The Dialock terminals are programmed via the mobile terminal using the Bluetooth® Low Energy interface. Areas of application: > Shops | Shopfitting > Office and co-working projects > Mixed-use buildings > Hotels > Apartment buildings | Serviced flats > Student residences > Retirement residences > Residential buildings 2-factor authentication is required for system administration.
