Direct Key Integrations (RFID Keys)

Key Vender Guide


The following article depicts SALTO, Saflok, and VingCard's installation steps for RFID keys within the key vendor's portal. 


This guide is for RDIF keys, not MSR keys. The information presented here should be treated as ancillary, reference material. Installation requires the assistance of a representative of the key vendor. Contact your key vendor directly for the most up-to-date information regarding key setup in their systems. 


IMPORTANT: 

  • Note that setup MUST happen in Stayntouch PMS as well as in the key vendor's portal (supporting material here). 
  • It is of critical importance that the Version Supported and Key Card Type Supported match the information outlined for each key card vendor. 
  • Additionally, mapping of rooms is sometimes required for key integration with Stayntouch. Mapping information can be found under Settings > Integrations > Utilities > External Mappings in Stayntouch PMS.

SALTO

Version Supported: See screenshot below for an example of a version supported.



Key Card Type Supported: MiFare 1K/MiFare Classic or Tagit 


The following steps will be performed by a SALTO installer. An on-site Stayntouch installer can assist with these instructions. 


Step 1. Enable Communication with the PMS

  • In SALTO, navigate to System > General Options > PMS. 
  • Check the box beside the correct protocol.
  • Then, click modify.



Step 2. Enter Port Number 

  • Type the port you will use to communicate with the SALTO server.
  • This can be any port being used; it does not have to be 8090. 
  • The Public IP of the key server should be accessible from Stayntouch's public production IP addresses:
  • Choose OK.



Step 3. Ensure Ethernet Encoder = Dongle 

  • In devices, make sure an Ethernet encoder is selected as a Dongle. 
  • Why? This encoder encrypts the data before sending it to the cloud. 
  • To verify this, navigate to Tis in System > General Options > Devices. 
  • On the Dongle encoder, choose any of the Ethernet connected encoders. 
  • Note: This cannot be a USB connected encoder. 
  • Select which Encoder ID you will be using to read the SAM Key. 
  • You can select each encoder and have it read the SAM key; however, only one needs to be done.


SAFLOK/KABA

Version Supported: Saflok Version 4.0+ 

Key Card Type Supported: MiFare 1K/MiFare Classic 


NOTE: We also Interface with Saflok/Kaba Atlas service. Kaba Atlas will need to confirm exact version of software for this service: /ATLASKLIWS/MessengerPMSService.asmx.


The following steps need to be performed between the 3 parties (i.e., the Hotel IT, Stayntouch installer, and Saflok installer) 


Step 1. 

  • For Saflok Setup, you will need a public IP address for your keys server. To specify, you will need a public IP that has been mapped to a private IP. 
  • Saflok/Kaba typically recommends access to this IP over Port 80. 


Step 2. 

  • Stayntouch needs the Saflok installers to install the following: LENSPMSWEBSERVICE. 
  • This can be done both by their installers or their support team. 


Step 3. 

  • Once service is installed, we will telnet to confirm access to the IP address. Once successful, proceed to setup key integration with Stayntouch PMS using the following URL: http://XXX.XX.XX.XX/lenspmswebservice. 
  • The "XXX.XX.XX.XX' will be replaced with with the public ip address of your key server.

VINGCARD

Version Supported: Ving VisionLine 1.16+ (or 1.14.0 with PMSPlus)
