1. A method of communicating between a plurality of electronic door lock assemblies and a controller comprising the steps of:
- a) transmitting a probe signal in several different frequencies from a receiver/transmitter associated with the electronic door lock;
b) detecting the probe signal and transmitting a probe response with a transmitter and receiver associated with the controller;
c) receiving the probe response with the receiver/transmitter associated with the electronic door lock; and
d) synchronizing the electronic door lock with the controller based on the probe signal and the probe response signal.

Abstract
A method of communicating between electronic door locks, access point hubs and a central controller includes the steps of transmitting a probe signal from a central controller, or access point hub receiver to the electric door lock in several different frequencies. Transmission between the locks stations and the access point hub are then synchronized to accommodate multiple lock stations and to prevent overlapping transmissions.

9. A method of communicating between a plurality of electronic door lock assemblies and a central controller, said method comprising the steps of:
-
a) transmitting a first radio frequency (RF) signal at a first time period by one of the central controller and one of the plurality of electronic door lock assemblies;
b) receiving the first radio signal and transmitting an acknowledgement signal to acknowledge receipt;
c) determining a non-receipt of the first RF signal in the absence of the acknowledgement signal; and
d) transmitting the first RF signal again after a second time period different than the first time period. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)
