1 Passage mode, or double-badge activation, is applied to all cardholders, and is not schedule-dependent.
2 The Wi-Fi lock might take up to 15 seconds to unlock for unknown credentials not yet synchronized to the lock. Badging a second time might be required.
3 By default, the Wi-Fi lock contacts the Synergis™ unit on the following events: Access denied (for any reason), Door forced open, and Door open too long.
4 The default Wi-Fi radio wake up schedule is every day at 0:00 UTC time.
5 The default battery check schedule is every day at 23:00 UTC time.
6 The default Power fail lock setting is Fail Secure, meaning the door is locked when power is off.
7 There is not always a one-to-one match between an offline log entry and a Security Center event.
8 Cx type locks only; legacy Sx and Px type locks remain at 2,400 credentials. when legacy Px locks are configured for Card and PIN, the capacity drops to 1,200 credentials.
