IMPORTANT: AX2Go keys can only be created with the software AX Manager Plus. AX2Go is a mobile key for opening SimonsVoss digital locking components via BLE. Once your access authorisations are stored in the app, your smartphone can be used like an access card or transponder. It's this simple: unlock your smartphone, touch the lock with it and open the door. The AX2Go app runs in the background and doesn't need to be opened manually. The technical process is quick to explain: the locking-system administrator sends authorisations for one or more doors to you by e-mail, text message or via a QR code. You receive this digital key in the AX2Go app on your smartphone. After briefly setting up the app and the access rights, you can get started with opening SimonsVoss locking components! AX2Go V1.0 offers these functions: ⢠Several different locking systems (AX2Go keys) on one smartphone ⢠Receipt of the key authorisations from the administration software via e-mail, text message or QR code ⢠Easy set-up gets the app up and running in less than a minute ⢠Clearly recognisable access status and quick help for the solution ⢠No registration or verification required ⢠Maximum data security due to end-to-end encryption Notes: ⢠The AX2Go app is part of a solution consisting of several parts (management software, cloud service, hardware, firmware).
