4.1.2 DEPLOYING LOCK IN “CLIENT MODE”

Client mode can be used for connecting the Lock to an existing

network (e.g. an office network). In this mode, the Lock joins the

network like any other device (e.g. a PC) and provides remote

users with access to other devices in the same network. The Lock

will obtain its address from the DHCP, so the local network needs

to have a working DHCP server that allocated IP addresses.

A) Connecting network devices in Client Mode

1. Log into the Lock’s web user interface as admin and open the LAN

settings by clicking Network > LAN.

2. Change the LAN interface protocol field to “DHCP Client”. Click the

“Switch Protocol” button and click “Save”.

3. Plug in a cable from the local network into one of the Lock’s LAN

ports and go!

Note:

• Do not connect Internet to the Lock’s WAN Port or a USB modem to the USB

port. Doing so will automatically deactivate the Client Mode and revert the

Lock’s LAN settings back to factory defaults.

• Do no connect the controlled devices to any LAN port.

• The Lock will scan the entire LAN network for connected devices and will

grant device access to any user with a matched Key. Please keep this in

mind when considering network and information security.

• In cases where access rights need to be restricted, switch on MAC/IP

Filtering (under Advanced Settings) or set up the Lock in its factory default

configuration.

• In this mode, the Lock’s inbuilt firewall does not protect the devices in the

LAN network.

• Client Mode is deactivated from the Lock’s web user interface
