After downloading, follow the prompts on your onboarding email or SMS to activate your Wallet account.
Configuring a New Sensor
-
Step 1:Open the Safetrust Wallet
The Safetrust Wallet App communicates with the sensor via Bluetooth and configures the sensor for an Identity System.
Setup:- Open your Safetrust Wallet App or download it from the App Store or Google Play if you haven’t already.
- Login with Google Sign-In or with the username and password that you set your Safetrust account up with.
Step 2: Choose a sensor to manage
With the Manage Sensor tab open, bring the phone in range of the SABRE, and
once visible from the App, click on the sensor.
Note: You may need to click the refresh button in the top right-hand
corner. Once the sensor is highlighted, click CONFIGURE from the bottom
options.
Step 3: Input sensor information
The settings show a range of configuration options for the sensor, however,
the following fields are the main settings that require action at this time.
Setup:
- Choose an Identity System.
- Specify the Type of access from the dropdown (eg. Door, Gate etc.)
- Assign a short Name and Description using alphanumeric characters.
- Choose an Output for the sensor (the default is set to Wiegand).
Configuring WiFi:
- To connect the sensor to a WiFi network, click the ‘Configure Wifi’ toggle button. Switching the toggle will reveal additional settings below.
- Click the ‘Choose a network’ setting or type in the Wifi Name in the ‘Wifi Name’ field. If your network is not listed, try clicking the refresh icon next to ‘Choose a network’.
- Choose the network type – Personal or Enterprise.
- For Enterprise 802.1X networks, click the ‘Root certificate’ and ‘Client p12’ buttons to upload your certificates. Type the P12 password in the ‘P12 password’ field.
Activation Distance
Set the Activation Distance for your sensor between touch and 50 ft (15m). The
distance will automatically be set to 30cm, meaning a user needs to be within
30cm in order to “Auto Authenticate” to the reader.
Anti-passback
The Anti-Passback setting defines the number of seconds between each attempt
to resend a mobile credential.
Anti-Passback can be used to prevent users from passing their credentials back
for another user to borrow and to stop users from entering an area by simply
following or tailgating another user.
OSDP Output:
If the Output is set to OSDP, select the Serial Baudrate and set the Device ID
to match the settings of the access control panel. Once you have adjusted all
the configuration settings, scroll to the bottom of the page and click SUBMIT
to successfully complete the sensor configuration.
Step 4: Configuration complete!
When the SABRE information is saved successfully to Credential Manager and
assigned to the Identity System, the new description will appear in the Manage
Sensor tab with a unique serial number assigned.
Getting Access
Using your mobile wallet
- To authenticate for a door, boom gate, elevator, or whatever your Identity System is set up for, simply present your mobile device running the Safetrust Wallet application to the reader.
- When the phone is within the configured activation range, the LED on the assigned credential for this sensor will turn yellow.
- If Auto Authenticate is enabled for the mobile credential, the credential will be sent to the SABRE whenever the mobile device is within the activation zone.
