The user selects the required operating option or holds an RFID transponder in front of the RFID reader at the terminal.

• PIN code: You can open and manage a locker with a PIN code.
• RFID: You can open and manage a locker with a valid RFID transponder.

When using transponders, they must be held in front of the RFID reader at the terminal. Hold the transponder in front of the RFID reader until an acknowledgment or further instructions appear on the display. Then remove the transponder from the RFID reader. After selecting the operating option, the user selects his required action.

If the user wants to add a new locker, select “Add locker”. If you want to open a locker that is locked, click on “Open locker”. If you want to change a PIN code or delete a permission, click on “Manage locker”.

Add locker
If the user selects “Add locker”, the system automatically suggests a locker.

The user can take the suggested locker or select different locker by clicking on one of the two options. If you click on “Choose different locker”, the available lockers are displayed and the user can select.
When using an RFID transponder, it must now be held in front of the RFID reader on the terminal according to the instructions. When using a PIN code, a PIN code must be entered and confirmed.
The locker is confirmed and you can now open the locker in a separate step.

Open locker
To open a locker, the user clicks on “Open locker” in the main menu and selects the respective locker in the overview. When using RFID transponders, the authorized transponder must be held in front of the RFID reader on the terminal. When using a PIN code, the correct PIN code must be entered. The locker opens and locks automatically after 5 seconds. The user pushes the door of the locker in closed position.

Manage locker
To delete a permission or change a PIN code, click on “Manage locker” in the main menu. Then click on the required action and select the respective locker in the overview. When deleting a permission, the user must complete the process by clicking “Release”.

Release of a locker by the admin
In order to release a lock by the admin, the permission for that lock simply needs to be revoked in the LEHMANN Management Software. The lock is then available to all users again.

APPLICATION: LMS VIRTUAL NETWORK

This application can be used together with offline LEHAMNN RFID locks. The locks must be managed in the LEH-MANN Management Software LMS. While the Central Control Panel is connected to the LMS directly via the network (LAN or WLAN), the locks are not directly connected to the LMS via the network. Permission changes are sent from the LMS to the Central Control Panel. The authorizations are transferred to the transponders when users hold the transponders in front of the RFID reader at the terminal. The Virtual Network feature is not supported if only the UID of a transponder is processed.

Lock configuration in the LEHMANN Management Software LMS
There is no specific configuration for the locks required in the LMS for this application. The general configuration of the locks takes place in the LMS. Configuration changes are transferred from the software to the locks via NFC-enab-led Android smartphones by using the LEHMANN Data Transfer app. Configuration changes are not transmitted to the locks via transponders. To do this, follow the instructions in the separate manual for the LEHMANN Management Software LMS.

Transfer of permissions to transponders
Permission changes are carried out in the LEHMANN Management Software. The permission change is automatically transferred to the USB desktop readers and to the connected terminals. Transponders must be programmed in the LEHMANN Management Software LMS.
After commissioning the application and establishing the connection between the terminal and LMS, the following view can be seen on the display.

Users must hold their transponders in front of the RFID reader on the terminal, in order to transfer permissions to the transponder.
The transponder must be held in front of the RFID reader until an acknowledgment (green tick) or further instruc-tions appear on the display. Then remove the transponder from the RFID reader.

The permissions for the transponder have been transferred. The transponder can be used on the respective lock(s).

APPLICATION: LOCKER INFO

In this application, the number or the name of the previously occupied locker is shown on the terminal display when the transponder is held in front of the RFID reader on the terminal. This application is suitable for both online and offline LEHMANN RFID locks in the “shared use” operating mode. The locks must be managed with the LEHMANN Management Software LMS. The LEHMANN transponder app is currently not supported. The Central Control Panel does not have to be connected to the LMS.

Users must hold their transponder in front of the RFID reader on the terminal, in order to get the information of his used locker on the terminal displayed.
