Features

• Management Control - Now you can have complete control over the users access to your system; what they can see, create, modify and delete.

• Complete Accountability - Know the status on every key created.  The program tracks the entire history of each key, from creation to destruction, with several security checks along the way.

• Key Issue Security - The program checks for correct authorization before the key is issued, and stores the authorization information.

• Tailored to YOUR needs - The program can be customized to fit your organization.  From the very basic to elaborate operations.

• Create & Manage Masterkey Systems - KeyNET allows for the manual input and hierarchal linking of keys to display masterkey systems.  Or, our SG1 Technical Team can import the systems for you.

KeyNET also allows for the creation of masterkey systems.  Developments are made using the ABC's of Masterkeying, and create complete systems with no phantom or ghost keys.  Never worry about expanding a system, KeyNET produces the entire system at the time of creation.  Masterkey generation systems are available for Standard 2 Step (Arrow, Corbin, Russwin, Schlage, etc.), Small Format Interchangeable Core (A2, A3 and A4), Sargent Systems (zero=10), ASSA, Medeco, Standard Single Step and a Custom Generator for Rotating Constant or other special needs systems.

• Create & Issue Key Rings - The program can quickly create and monitor issuance of key rings.

• Computerizing Key Cutting - The system allows for manual or computerized cutting of keys...yes, you can cut keys to a computerized key machine directly from your computer.

Keys can be tagged with a cost center at the time of creation for chargeback purposes.  Cost center information can be automatically charged to the appropriate account in AccountNET or other third party ODBC software.  When used with WorkNET, the charging can include time charges from individual's time entries.

• Multiple Key Issue Locations (MKI) - Allow other issue sites to manage and issue keys at their locations, while you have complete oversight.  School Districts can now allow each school to manage their own keys with centralized oversight.  Hospitals and Universities can allow department to become issue points; including KeyRing tracking.  Colleges and Universities can allow Building Managers to issue and control keys from their individual locations, or simply authorize keys when centralized issue is used, via eKeyRequests.

• Authorizations - control authorizations by department, building, cost center or building and room.  Verification has never been easier.  Use in conjunction with eKeyRequests or eSignature to reduce issue time and increase accountability

• eKeyOrders - You can electronically order keys from your MKI sites

• eKeyRequests - electronically request keys, route the request through the appropriate authorizations and issue the correct key...with notifications to the requestor and authorizers along the way.  A complete history of status and stop changes and pathway traversal may be used as an option.

• eKeySignature - uses standard industry capture methods to store signatures electronically and add it to the issue form.

• Extensive Reports - Effectively manage your key program with an extensive choice of reports.  Create custom reports through multiple field selections and filtering.  Complete with individual key histories and core location histories.

• Computerized Key Cutting of Medeco and Emhart

• Computerized Key Cutting of Standard Keys

Deployment Options/Models

SG1 Hosted (Recommended) - we provide your users access to your database on our high-end servers.  We maintain your program, including backups, and remote data storage.  This is the MOST cost effective method of deploying KeyNET and has the lowest annual license and support costs.

Site Based (2 Deployment Models) -

1.  Web Appliance (proprietary server required) - we sell the complete server and program, ready to go...you provide the network.  Or, you provide the server and we will configure and load the software, returning it to you ready to go.  You provide the network...plug it in and you are ready to go.  We maintain the programs, maintain your data backups; you just use the program. Unrestricted SSH, port 22 access is required for all maintenance and licensing.

2.  Customer Controlled Site Based (proprietary server required) - We sell the complete server and program, ready to go... you provide the network.  Or, you provide the server and we will configure and load the software, returning it to you ready to go.  The customer is responsible for the hardware and maintaining the system.  Spectrum Group will provide support via an annual licensing agreement.  Unrestricted and unlimited SSH, port 22 access is required for all maintenance and licensing.

3.  Virtual Machine Customer Controlled Site Based (proprietary setup is provided and installed remotely via SSH port 22 connection.  The Customer provides the server and Linux Suse setup, along with port 22 access.  Spectrum Group will load the deployment image, load the KeyNET software, deploy the SQL database and make the deployment ready for operation and training.  The customer is responsible for the hardware, initial setup, network and unrestricted SSH access, via port 22, for the duration of the deployment.  Spectrum Group will provide support via an annual licensing agreement.  Unrestricted and unlimited SSH, port 22 access is required for all maintenance and licensing.

Standalone - we install special programming on your laptop or PC which will allow our program to run on an individual computer.  The is a great solution for the small Lockshop or other small business. 

1.  Dedicated PC - we sell the PC (or laptop) with programming, ready to go.  Or you provide the PC or laptop and we install the programming for you.  With this deployment the individual PC or laptop is dedicated to SpectrumNET programming and only runs our software.

2.  Virtual Machine - we sell the PC (or laptop) with programming, ready to go.  Or, you can provide us with a PC (or laptop) and we will add the virtual server software and SG1 programming.  With this deployment the PC or laptop is not dedicated to SpectrumNET programming; the laptop or PC can be used in normal fashion, but SpectrumNET programs are accessed via a virtual server which Spectrum Group configures for you.

More information on Deployments...

Modular Design of KeyNET allows our databases to be divided into multiple tables.  These data tables are accessed via the KeyNET program depending on the privileges your systems manager has set.

System Manager - who controls your system and how it is Configured.

Personnel - where the information for individuals who have, or have had, keys/cards issued are stored.

Lockshop - where the functions of the Lockshop are performed.  Keys and cards (or other accountable asset) information are stored in these data tables.

Key Issue - where the individuals from the Personnel module are interfaced with the available keys/cards created in the Lockshop module, and the associated information is stored for recall.

ODBC Modules - this is the interface data tables that you utilize with the other functions being used with KeyNET, like Card Access, Photo ID and other integrated modules.

Optional SSL Connections - Spectrum Group offers Secured Socket Link connections at additional costs.  Contact your Spectrum Group Representative at 877-560-2457 or sales@sg1.us for current pricing.

Making your Computerized Key Machine work with KeyNET

KeyNET supports automatic interfacing with all ITL Computerized Key Machines.  The communications is over a TCP/IP connection between the KeyNET server and a Cyclades or Lantronix converter box.

Device Requirement

Cyclades TS-100 - Support of a remote key machine requires that we deploy a Cyclades TS-100 micro-server or similar device which is connected to the computerized key machine.  this device has two ports - a serial port which drives the key machine, and an Ethernet port, which plugs into the LAN/WAN jack.  Spectrum Group should pre-configure your Cyclades TS-100 for your system.

1.  Device must have its own dedicated IP address.  Customer must provide a static IP address together with Submask and Default Gateway information for each device used.  This information is required to program the device.

2.  If in a NAT/private LAN block, device must also have a public internet IP address assigned to it, which routes traffic on ports 22, 7000 and 7001 from said public IP address to the internal IP address of the Cyclades box.

3.  If behind a firewall, device must also be permitted to receive traffic on ports 22, 7000 and 7001 from our central server network (we will provide a range of 10 static IP address which should be permitted to send information to the Cyclades box.)

4.  If neither NAT/PLAN/firewalled, Cyclades box will be configured to use its own internal firewall protection scheme.

Lantronix Devices (USED AFTER TO JULY 2011)- Support of a remote key machine requires that we deploy a Lantronix device server or similar device, which is physically attached to the key machine.  This device has two ports - a serial port which drive the key machine and an Ethernet port, which plugs into the network LAN jack.  Spectrum Group will pre-configure your Lantronix Device for you, or it is field configurable.

1.  Device must have its own dedicated IP address.  Customer must provide IP address, Submask and Default Gateway information for programming purposes.

2.  If in a NAT/private LAN block, device must also have a public internet IP address assigned to it,  which routes traffic on ports 10001 from said public IP address to the internal IP address of the Lantronix box.

3.  If behind a firewall, device must also be permitted to receive traffic on port 10,001 from our central server network (we will provide a range of 10 static IP addresses which should be permitted to send to the Lantronix box.)

Lantronix UDS-10 (USED PRIOR TO JULY 2011)- Support of a remote key machine requires that we deploy a Lantronix UDS-10 device server or similar device, which is physically attached to the key machine.  This device has two ports - a serial port which drive the key machine and an Ethernet port, which plugs into the network LAN jack.  Spectrum Group will pre-configure your Lantronix UDS-10 for your, or it is field configurable.

1.  Device must have its own dedicated IP address.  Customer must provide IP address, Submask and Default Gateway information for programming purposes.

2.  If in a NAT/private LAN block, device must also have a public internet IP address assigned to it,  which routes traffic on ports 10001 from said public IP address to the internal IP address of the Lantronix box.

3.  If behind a firewall, device must also be permitted to receive traffic on port 9999 and 10,001 from our central server network (we will provide a range of 10 static IP addresses which should be permitted to send to the Lantronix box.)
