Installation

Installing an IN120/220 Lock

Download and install LCT (Lock Configuration Tool) on portable Windows machine: https://go.intelligentopenings.com/dsr8
Launch LCT software
In the modal that pops up, click “Create” to create a new configuration file
Enter site name and password and be sure to save your password somewhere safe
Click “Create New Profile” to create a new profile
Configure “Lock” settings in “Profile”. Enter “Profile Name” and desired “Basic Local Settings”
- On Power Failure
1. Lock: Lock will remain in a locked state if power is lost
2. Unlock: Lock will remain in an unlocked state if power is lost
3. Verkada recommends Unlock on power failure for most use cases, so that you can enter your space if your lock’s batteries die. Verkada only recommends Lock on power failure in high security environments.
- Privacy Button: determines functionality of MFB (multi-function button) located on the secure side of the door. It is labeled as “Comm” when the battery cover is off.
1. Disable: MFB does nothing
2. Verkada recommends Disabling the privacy button for most use cases, so that the door acts as a normal Verkada door.
3. Enable: If the door is unlocked, pressing the MFB will lock the door and put you into “Privacy Mode”. While in “Privacy Mode,” opening the door from the secure side or presenting a valid credential will return the door to its previously unlocked state.
  1. Pressing the MFB while the door is locked or in “Privacy Mode” does nothing.
- Escape/Return: The door will never automatically relock when unlocked from the secure or insecure side.
1. Whenever someone exits through the door in a locked state, it will remain unlocked until a valid credential is presented, causing it to lock.
2. When the door is locked, someone can unlock the door from the insecure side by presenting a valid credential. After they have entered they must either throw the deadbolt or push the MFB to lock the door.
Configure the “Network” settings in “Profile”
- Select “Wireless (WiFi)” if you are using the IN120. Select “Power over Ethernet (PoE)” if you are using the IN220
- Input “IP Address” or “Host Name” of the Windows server which will be running the DSR
1. Ensure your firewall will allow your lock to communicate with the DSR. The default port used for this communication is 2571.
- IN120 ONLY (WiFi): Input “Preferred WiFi SSID” the lock will connect to along with its “Security Type” and “Key (AES)”
Configure the “Reader” settings in “Profile”. Choose the credential types you are going to use.
- Verkada currently supports HID Prox and MIFARE DESFire EV1.
Configure the “Pre-Deployment Operation” settings in “Profile”. Set “Scheduled Communication” to “Wake Once per 24 Hours”.
Save profile
Go to “Configuration” tab at the top
Plug in to the “Program” port on the back of the lock underneath the battery cover using a USB to mini USB cable.

- NOTE: You can “Perform Network Test” after the DSR is configured to ensure everything is properly connected
Click “Go” to update the firmware and apply the options you selected when creating the profile for this lock.
- NOTE: You may need to update device firmware and apply profile in two separate steps if doing them at the same time does not work.
