Registered Devices (How to registering devices)

All Airfob devices (mobile card readers) installed in the space and registered to the site are displayed in the Registered Devices menu. From the Registered devices menu, you can remotely manage related to the devices, such as checking the network connectivity status in real time or modifying information. The brackets ( ) next to the menu name show the number of devices currently registered to the site. 

In this article, you'll learn what all the icons in the Registered Devices menu can do, and how to modify the information on a device.
If you'd like to watch a tutorial video, you can find it below.


※ How can I register the device on the site?

After the Airfob device is connected to the power and network successfully, you can register the device through the Airfob Pro app (admin-only app). For detailed device registration instructions, click here (Device  Registeration).

When registering a reader it MUST be connected to an ethernet cable with an active internet connection. This is necessary so the reader can receive the site certificate. After registering a reader successfully it does not need to be connected to the internet to work with Airfob Space mobile credentials, but it must be connected to the internet to use RFID cards.

For each device, you can check the device connection status by the colour of the dot that appears to the right of the device.
● Green: The device is connected normally.
● Red: There is a problem with the device connection. You need to check power, network, etc. 
● Yellow: The device's firmware is updating. You can still authenticate with your mobile card during the firmware update. When the operation is complete, the device will restart and the connection status will temporarily change to a red dot.

Icons

1. Refresh

Refresh the list of registered devices when you have newly registered devices or you want to see the recent status.

2. Delete

Please refrain from using the delete icon at this time. To delete a registered Airfob device, you must delete it through the Airfob Pro app.

3. Update Firmware

Update or change the firmware when MOCA releases a new version. This icon is only active when a firmware update version is available.

4. Schedule Setting

You can set the lock and unlock schedule for the door where the device is installed for your needs. Here's an example to help you understand.
If you apply an Unlock schedule, the door will remain fully open during that schedule and mobile card authentication is not required. Conversely, if you set a Lock schedule, the door will remain fully closed during that schedule and mobile card authentication will not work.

Ex. If the entrance door of the lobby on the 1st floor is always open during business hours from 10:00 am to 8:00 pm, and only employees are allowed to enter during other times.
1) Search for devices installed in the lobby from the list.
2) Click the checkbox and Schedule Setting icon.
3) Click the Create Schedules button, if there isn’t unlock schedule from 10 am to 8 pm.
4) If you need to create a schedule, click here to read how to add schedules. If you have already set it up, go to step 5.
5) Choose the unlock schedule from 10 am to 8 pm.
6) Click the OK button to save it.
* In this case, all employees must have an ‘Always’ access level, and that access level must include a device installed at the main entrance to the lobby on the 1st floor.
   These settings can be managed from the Access Levels menu.
 

5. Manage Groups

Specify or change the groups for each selected device on the list. You can create device groups in the device groups menu.

Ex. Currently, our office has been renovated and the garage has been changed to a testing room. So, I want to move the device group from the garage to the testing room.
1) Search on the search bar for the device you want to edit or sort using filters.
2) Click the checkbox next to the device.
3) Click the Manage Groups icon at the top of the device list table.
4) Leave empty the device group checkbox for the garage.
5) Click the checkbox next to the device group for the testing room.
6) Click the OK button to save it.

How to edit the device information

In the list of registered devices, click the name of the device that you want to edit. In the Edit device information pop-up screen, you can edit the following items for the device. 

Nickname: Enter a device nickname that identifies the device such as the installation location. If you do not change it, the device's serial number is automatically displayed.
Time zone: The time zone in which event logs are displayed (use a time zone that is easy for site administrators to check).

Hands-free: A convenience feature that allows users to authenticate to the device with hands-free functionality. Select whether to allow it based on your security regulations. Click Device Information Hands-free, Sensitivity Settings to learn more.
