Where can I find the Master Key?

The site owner is also the owner of the master key.
A master key, however, can also be assigned to another user. This can be done by navigating to the ‘People’ section in the KS app and checking the box ‘Master Key’.

For the site owner to check who else has a master key, they can find more information in the key section of the KS app.

Subscriptions

Subscription management

What happens when I redeem a new voucher while my Site has a valid subscription?

When you activate a voucher the current subscription will always end, and the new one will begin. The remaining part of the existing subscription will be added to the new subscription as specified in the voucher and a new end-date will be determined. If the new subscription allows for a larger number of users and/or IQs, a pro-rata calculation will be done to determine the new end-date.

Can I get the subscription history of a Site? 

The Subscription history for SALTO KS is not visible. If you would like to access this, please contact your local SALTO Tech Support.

Can I manually change a subscription? 

Subscriptions are only available as vouchers, which can be purchased via installers or your local business unit representative. You can redeem a voucher via Site > Subscription > Activate Voucher.

What happens when my Site’s subscription ends?

When subscription ends, the IQs are all set to "unsubscribed" status. This means that they will not respond to any lock requests and no changes to access rights can be done anymore. Offline Access credentials set on the locks (also based on the audit trail) will not be touched. When the subscription ends, the Site users are also set to “unsubscribed“, meaning they can’t perform openings or any actions on the site. There is one exception to this rule: an admin of the Site would be able to go to Site > Subscription in the menu to check and redeem a new voucher.

How will I know when my Site’s subscription is going to end?

If you are the Site’s owner or one of the Site admins you can navigate to Site > Subscription, where you can see the latest subscription’s expiration date. But don’t worry, if you are the Site's owner, we will send you an email reminder four weeks, one week and a day before the expiration date, so that you have enough time to get a new subscription.

One or more users from my Site are unsubscribed. However, the number of users in the Site still hasn’t reached the limit set by the current subscription. How can this happen?

Site owners and admins can subscribe or unsubscribe users manually. This allows them to choose how to use subscription slots. To subscribe a user you can go to the People page and toggle the value of the Subscription column.

Why can’t I mark a user “subscribed”?

In order to mark a user “subscribed” you have to have a role of Site Admin or Site Owner. There should be enough user slots in the current subscription (in order to check the current limit navigate to Site > Subscription). Last but not least, only users with valid access (remote access/tag/mobile key/pin) can be marked “subscribed” at the moment.

Subscriptions have a limit of IQs and Users. Is there also a limit of different keys a user can have?

No, we don’t impose such a limit in subscriptions. A user may have a Tag (physical key), a mobile key in their smartphone, and a PIN access code at the same time. Such users will occupy one slot in the subscription.

What if a new IQ/User is added to the Site while the active subscription doesn’t have available IQ/User slots left?

You will be able to add a new IQ/User to the Site. However, if there are no available subscription slots left they will be “unsubscribed”. For the IQ, this means that it will not respond to any lock requests and no changes to access rights can be done anymore. Offline Access credentials set on the locks (also based on the audit trail) will not be touched. For Users being “unsubscribed”, this means they can’t perform openings or any actions on the Site (except redeeming a new voucher for admin/owner role).

How can I cancel my subscription?

I get the message 'no valid subscription' what should I do?

Why does the new voucher wipe out remaining days on my old voucher?

When you activate a voucher the current subscription will end, and the new one will begin. The remaining part of the existing subscription will be added to the new subscription as specified in the voucher and a new end date will be determined. If the new subscription allows for a larger number of users and/or IQs, a pro rata calculation will be done to determine the new end date.

Does our KS system have firewall port setting requirement?

When connecting the IQ 2.0 through ethernet or WiFi local network settings can interfere with the IQ operation. Updates and normal operation requires different settings. Ideally, the IQ should be on a network where all outbound traffic for the IQ is accepted. This is the only way to ensure an update will work as it should and will ensure no issues with normal operation.

For updating, any port could be used so the network must allow all outgoing traffic.

For normal operation, the IQ uses below IP-addresses and port 40000 and 40001, these should be whitelisted. Note that the IQ makes a connection to these ports on the SaltoKS' backend system, but the connection is done from a random port. Thus, the IQ must be allowed to connect to external port 40000 or 40001 for this to work.

If it's not accepted the IQ must have access due to security reasons an M2M connection is an option.

If the IQ cannot connect, check the following:

  • Network requirements:

  • DHCP server that provides the IQ with an IP address

  • For WiFi: Preferably WPA or WPA2 encryption, otherwise an open network. 2.4ghz only.

  • For Ethernet: No network authentication (no 802.1X)

  • The IQ connects to a server on TCP ports 40000 and 40001

  • The IQ updates by downloading a file from our FTPS server

It is not possible to give out fixed IP addresses of the Salto KS back-end to which the IQ's connect. The Salto KS back-end is dynamically hosted and scales up/down based on number of requests and connected IQ's. You can compare this to for example going to gmail.com or any other popular website. When connecting you're not sure to which server you're forwarded.

However what some of our customers do, they implement whitelisting on IQ mac address. Which means they only allow IQ mac addresses that are whitelisted to connect to the outside world.

If MAB is used in the network (MAC Authentication Bypass), it would be necessary to whitelist MAC addresses of the IQs (which do not support 802.1X) in the network authentication back-end, allowing the IQs to connect without further authentication.

We would advice the customer to look into this option. There is no way to whitelist IP's of our back-end services.
