How does the Knox eLock System Work?

How Does The Knox System Work? — KnoxDock™

Ideal for inspectors and administrative use, the KnoxDock charges and programs the eKey and syncs data to KnoxConnect from a PC computer.

KnoxConnect

Cloud-based administrative software, KnoxConnect is the central hub to run reports and sync, configure and manage electronic devices, users and data.

KeySecure® 6

The master key retention device can secure both the eKey and mechanical key enabling Departments to easily transition into the new electronic system. Recorded events of devices are automatically synced to KnoxConnect when KeySecure communicates with the cloud via WiFi or Ethernet.

Knox eKey™

The eKey brings power to the eLock Core, and collects and stores information on key usage and box openings. As a security measure, the eKey won't function when pre-set timer expires.

Knox Products

Knox electronic products require neither batteries nor electrical power to operate.

Knox eLock Core™

The patented non-contact design protects the core from dust and dirt and can be retrofitted into most existing Knox mechanical products.

FAQs

What are the power requirements to operate the KeySecure 6?
- Power source must be either a 7-amp 12-volt Vehicle DC power supply, a 7-amp 12-volt AC adapter. On-shore power is a backup power source and should be used at the station.
- Internal 3V lithium ion battery maintains time and date if KeySecure should lose power.
What happens if a Knox eKey is misplaced?
- When you remove a Knox eKey from a KeySecure 6, a KeyDefender, or a KnoxDock, a timer starts. When the timer expires, the Knox eKey no longer functions.
- The timer resets automatically when the Knox eKey is removed from KeySecure 6, KeyDefender, or a KnoxDock using a valid PIN code. Activation time is managed through KnoxConnect Management System by Admin.
How can a department set up a mutual aid program with Knox eLock System?
- Mutual aid or shared access is supported by sharing lock codes between one or more jurisdictions.
- Contact Knox to coordinate mutual aid programs.
Is periodic maintenance required for the Knox eLock?
The Knox eLock Core does not require periodic maintenance. However, as a best practice, Knox recommends inspection of the KnoxBox annually to ensure the operability of the box and the integrity of the contents.
How does the Knox eLock devices connect to KnoxConnect Management System?
- KnoxConnect is a cloud-based system using network connections (WiFi or Ethernet) to connect to KeySecure 6 or KeyDefender (KeyDefender connects to KnoxConnect via Wi-Fi only).
- System Administrators can manage users, devices, PIN codes, retrieve audit trail information and create reports from any device using a web browser with internet access.
How is audit trail information for all system devices collected?
- With the Knox eLock System, audit trail collection is automatic when the KeySecure 6 communicates with the cloud via WiFi or Ethernet. KeyDefender is identical but connects via Wi-Fi. KnoxDock communicates Knox eKey audit trails when KnoxDock software is running.
- When a KeySecure 6 or KeyDefender syncs, it sends audit trail information to KnoxConnect then it receives all updates from the KnoxConnect Management System.
Will the system function if the internet is down?
- Basic functionality of the system does not require the Internet. Knox eKeys, Knox eLock Core, and the KeySecure 6 and KeyDefender will continue to operate without the Internet.
- Since the KnoxConnect Management System is web-based, administrative functions, such as adding or deleting users, will not be accessible when the Internet is down.
How many audit trails do Knox eLock System devices store?
KeySecure 6 (up to 16,000 events), KeyDefender (up to 16,000 events), Knox eKey (up to 2,500 events), Knox eLock Core (up to 140 events)
How many lock codes are stored?
Knox eKey (up to 100 lock codes) and Knox eLock Core (1 lock code)
