Mul-T-Lock's Interactive CLIQ
presents a hybrid electromechanical locking solutions, which offers the
ultimate synergy between the tried-and-true reliability of superior
mechanical keys and cylinders and the programming sophistication and
flexibility inherent in electronic locks.
1. The key is inserted into the cylinder. When the
contact pin meets the contact strip an electronic "wake up" signal
is subsequently generated.
2. The cylinder awakens and generates a random 64-bit access
number.
3. The key answers and acknowledges by transmitting an
encrypted 64-bit access number.
4. The number is decrypted and compared to the response
calculated by the cylinder's microprocessor.
5. A log of the interaction - user, time, result etc. - is
automatically stored in the cylinder's memory for retrieval.
6. If there is a data match, the locking
mechanism is released and the identification process continues.
Based on parameters such as key identity and the specific time of day
that the authorized user is permitted access, the Interactive mechanical
element is cleared for activation and the key can turn the cylinder.
7. If the key is not authorized the mechanical element in
the locking system will simply remain locked and record the attempt for
later review.
