The Eternity Lock , with iButton LP, transforms an electric door lock into an access control system that you maintain with your PC and Lock Management Software. Pictures making a key for your kids or In-laws that will only work during the time of day you specify, and keep a record the entry as well. Or imagine giving your plumber a one-time access combination to the lock at your house so you don't need to run home to let him in.

Maintaining key control is directly tied to keeping the key list in the lock synchronized to the master database. These locks, although not wired together, are connected to the master database by means of a PC and a Sync iButton. The lock administrator updates the master database from the PC and downloads these changes (called a Mission) into the Sync iButton through the PC connectivity. The Sync iButton is carried to the lock and pressed to the Dot. The lock validates the Sync iButton and executes the Mission Script. (A Script is a set of instructions.) Audit trail and lock status data is written back into the Sync iButton, which is then carried back to the PC for upload to the master database. This system architecture provides a closed information loop thus ensuring accurate information.

Key Management:

iButton Lock's leading benefit is its Software combined method of key management. Now any PC (with iButton connectivity) can used by an administrator to maintain key control. A strong secondary benefit is the ease with which an iButton lock can connect to the network, lose its connection and reconnect without degrading response performance to user.

Audit Trail:

The lock's architecture is designed for changes in configuration such as upgradable firmware key lists and audit trail. Total 1000 users with 4000 audit record in lock memory.

Special Timed Features - Timed Key and Timed Lock Operations:

• Timed Operation Periods: The lock provides a minimum of 16 Lock Operation Periods. These Lock Operation Periods are changeable by the Sync iButton. During these Lock Operation Period, Lock automatic Unlock and Automatic Relock operations are started. Shift rotation and Expanded/Null Automatic Operations will occur as scheduled. Valid iButton Keys are be granted access as determined by the keys Timed Key Attributes. Whenever an Operation Period starts or ends the Lock Module will generate an Audit Log Entry.
• Activation and Expiration on Keys by Date And Time: The lock provides 16 Activation/Expiration Groups. These Activation/Expiration Groups are changeable by the Sync iButton. Each Activation/Expiration Group designates the date and time at which the iButton Key is enabled at the lock and the date and time at which the iButton Key is disabled at the lock. Each Activation and Expiration Time is programmable with 256-Second granularity allowing for specification of times at 4 4/15-minute increments. Whenever access is denied because of Activation and Expiration Times the lock generates an Access Denied Audit Log Entry. Whenever the lock is cleared, all Activation/Expiration Groups are defaulted to permanent activation. When a Sync iButton is used to add an iButton Key then that iButton Key is assigned the default Activation/Expiration Group. •
• Time Windows for Keys (Time Key Shifts): The lock provides 16 (Sixteen) Time Shift Groups. These Time Shift Groups are changeable by the Sync iButton. A Time Shift Group is defined in such a way as to enable multiple rotating weekly shift groups. The lock provides (Sixteen) Time Shifts Weeks. These Time Shifts Weeks are changeable by the Sync iButton. Each Time Shift Week can specify up to 7 non-overlapping shift periods. Each Time Shift Period defines the Day of Week/Time of Day to start the shift and the Day of Week/Time of Day to end the shift. Each start and end time is programmable with a 45-second granularity.
