Changing a lock’s
online mode
When a B.A.S.I.S. V Lock’s mode of operation is determined by its 
programming, the diagnostics information for the lock indicates that 
the lock’s “online mode” is Automatic. In effect, the lock is under 
timezone control. For information about defining timezones for a lock, 
see the B.A.S.I.S. 2002 System Administration User Guide.
You can use the PDA to select a specific online mode of operation for a 
lock and override timezone control. The selected mode remains in 
effect until you restore the lock to timezone control by setting the 
online mode to Automatic.
For example, during an emergency you might set a lock’s online mode 
to Unlocked so that emergency personnel can access the room. When 
the emergency is over, you can set the lock’s online mode to Automatic 
to restore timezone control.
The following online modes are available:
■ Automatic. The lock is under timezone control.
■ Card. Any valid card in the lock’s database can access the lock.
■ Card and PIN. Any valid card and PIN combination programmed in 
the lock’s database can access the lock.
■ Card or PIN. Any valid card or PIN programmed in the lock’s 
database can be used to access the lock. 
■ Facility Code. Any card or PIN with a valid facility code can access 
the lock.
■ Locked. The door is locked. All cards and PINs are denied access.
■ Unlocked. The door is unlocked.
To change a lock’s online mode, perform these steps:
1. If you are already viewing diagnostics information for the lock, 
go to step 2.
If you are not viewing diagnostics information for the lock, 
perform step 1 through step 7 on page 11–14.
2. From the B.A.S.I.S. Transport Diagnostics window on the PDA, tap 
Diagnostics, then Set Online Mode, then the mode that you want. 
See Figure 11.12.
A confirmation message appears.
3. Select OK.
4. When you have finished using diagnostics features, perform step 8 
through step 10 on page 11–17.
