Step 8: Program Door Locks

Learn how to program door locks for your mobile key integration.

Once you have set up door locks in the Visionline application, use the Lock Service 3G application to program the door locks themselves. When you program a lock, you download the identity and settings for the lock from Lock Service 3G to the lock.

As part of its mobile development course, ASSA ABLOY provides a demo lock that includes the required BLE module.

This process consists of the following basic steps:

1. Install Lock Service 3G on a laptop or tablet.

2. Configure the Visionline application to download door lock data to Lock Service 3G.

3. Configure Lock Service 3G to connect to the Visionline server.

4. Download door lock data from the Visionline server to Lock Service 3G.

5. Initialize each door lock to program it with the correct settings.
