Abstract
A system and method for enhancing the security associated with the commissioning of an access control device. According to certain embodiments, a commissioning activator is positioned to be accessible from one side of the installed access control device. Thus, the access control device may be installed such that the commissioning activator is accessible to individuals having access to a relatively secure side of the access control device. The displacement of the access control device may generate an activation signal that is detected by a processing device of the access control device. Upon detection of the activation signal, the processing device may activate an input/output device that may transmit an identification signal that is detected by a wireless configuration device. Following receipt of a connection request from the configuration device, the access control device and the configuration device can be connected such that commissioning of the access control device may proceed.

8. A method for commissioning an access control device, the method comprising:
-
receiving, by a processing device of the access control device, an activation signal indicating the displacement of a commissioning activator from an un-activated position to an activated position; activating, upon receipt of the activation signal by the processing device, an input/output device of the access control device; transmitting a radio signal from the activated input/output device, the radio signal having a unique identifier for the access control device; receiving by the input/output device, in response to the transmitted radio signal, a connection request; accepting, by the processing device, the connection request; and receiving by the input/output device, upon acceptance of the connection request, a commissioning signal containing commissioning information for the access control device. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 25, 26, 27)

14. A method for commissioning an access control device, the method comprising:
-
detecting the displacement of a commissioning activator from an un-activated position to an activated position, the commissioning activator externally accessible from one, and only one, side of the access control device; transmitting, upon detection of the displacement of the commissioning activator, an identification signal from an input/output device of the access control device;
receiving by the input/output device, in response to the transmitted identification signal, a request for connection;accepting, by the processing device, the received request for connection; and receiving by the input/output device, upon acceptance of the connection request, a commissioning signal containing information for commissioning the access control device. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24)
