Thanks for the information Bruce. We have the same locks. about 1800 of
them. Some of the batteries are dying quickly. Mostly Bathrooms because
they get the most use. Do you find the Lock antenna to be very powerful?

We have been using Assa Abloy wireless locks in our newest residences on our
802.1X SSID. The AA batteries do not last as long as advertised. We place Aps
in rooms and the lock wireless antenna is on the insode of the door. Obviously,
rekeying maintenance is reduced. The locks update once a day. If they see an
unknown badge, they check toe server to get a new badge list.
Other than that, be sure to stagger the regular lock scanning times. When we
first deployed, they has 600+ locks all trying to hit our management VM-based
server at the same time. The server was overwhelmed. With times staggered, the
server now handles the load.

Subject: Wireless Door lock systems
All,
I was wondering what other Universities experience with wireless door locks?
How have the door locks been working? Is there a lot of maintenance with your
systems?
For example battery life, wifi connection problems, broken locks.
