M-Unit Handheld PDA
The Maintenance Unit (M-Unit) is Kaba Access Control's term for a handheld Personal Digital
Assistant (PDA) that communicates with the locks via infrared signal. The M-Unit PDA
connects to your PC to receive data downloaded from the PC (Lock Configuration Files, for
example), and to upload/program the locks. The infrared receiver and transmitter on the PDA,
when aligned with those of the lock, will transfer data from the PDA to the lock (program) or
from the lock to the PDA (audit).
Important: Ensure that the current date and time on your system PC and your PDA
are accurate, including the Daylight Savings Time setup. If the date and time are not
correct, your users will not be able to access the lock.
The operations involving the M-Unit are the following:
•
Create Lock Configuration Files (including user data) for each lock in a door group.
•
Transfer (HotSync) Lock Configuration Files from PC to M-Unit.
•
Program the locks using the M-Unit.
•
From
the
Audit
icon, select the number of records to audit—500 is the default and
30,000 (all audits) is the maximum. If you also want to download the User Table (users
assigned to this lock), select the
User Table
check box.
•
Audit the locks using the M-Unit.
•
Transfer (HotSync) Lock Audit Files from the M-Unit to the PC.
•
View and/or print Lock Audit Files on PC from the

menu.
Note:
From the
E-Plex ACS
drop-down menu at the top left of the PDA screen, you can
also Perform Lock Diagnostics, as well as view or select Lock Configuration files from each
Door Group before programming locks.
The sequence of operations using the M-Unit is described in detail in the following
procedures:

2. Transferring Files from the PC to the Lock through the M-Unit
3. Auditing Lock
4. Transferring Lock Audits from the M-Unit to the PC (HotSync)
