1.
Create 3 FDU Cancel keycards. Swipe one of these cards in every FDU on the
property, including the FDU used to encode the FDU Cancel keycard. The FDU
will now no longer accept Authorization keycards encoded using the missing
FDU.
2.
Insert the FDU Cancel keycard once in each lock on the property. The locks will
respond with one green flash to indicate the card has been accepted. This action
notifies the lock to reject keycards from the missing FDU.
3.
Re-issue all Guest, Staff and Authorization keycards that were encoded using
the missing FDU. A printout of each new Staff keycard issued should be done in
order to record the sequence id of each keycard (Please refer to
Section 4.8 –
Printing a Record of Staff Keycards
for more information).
3.5.9 Hotel
Restart
The Front Desk Units have been assigned an
internal
Hotel Code at the factory. In
addition, the system administrator specifies a confidential
external
Hotel Code.
Together, the internal and external Hotel Codes ensure that each installation is unique,
and secure. Each component of the system (locks, card readers, FDUs, and every type of
keycard) makes use of the Hotel Code to prevent tampering. The FDUs transfer the
correct Hotel Code to the locks when the locks are first programmed, and each keycard is
automatically encoded with the correct Hotel Code by the FDU.
IMPORTANT:
The property should assign its own external Hotel Code and make
new General Manager Authorization keycards when the system is
first installed, or if security is compromised by the theft of an FDU
or disclosure of the Hotel Code.
To choose a new code and transfer it to all the locks, FDUs and keycards requires a Hotel
Restart. Once changed, the external Hotel Code is classified information and only select
staff members should know the code. Typically, GMA cardholders should know what the
code is.
NOTE: Consult Kaba Ilco Technical Support if in doubt concerning the need to
perform a hotel restart. Because the procedure is somewhat complex and
involves all the locks, FDUs and keycards, it is recommended that the Hotel
Restart be performed at night.
Write down the external Hotel Code and keep it in a secure place!
The Hotel Restart procedure is divided into several tasks:
x
Selecting a new external Hotel Code
x
Making a Hotel Restart keycard
x
Using the Hotel Restart keycard in the first FDU
