Communicators

 

Communicators serve as the interface between CyberLock hardware

and CyberAudit-Web software. Through a communicator, key information

is downloaded into the software and new schedules and permissions

are uploaded into the keys.

 

A variety of communicators are available to address individual facility

and personnel needs. Communicators can be installed in locations that

are easy and accessible to your key holders such as a desktop or laptop

computer, an employee entrance, or even in the field making frequent

key expirations and access programming convenient for higher security.
