Dormakaba SKC2-00IPR2H6000000 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What does the Dormakaba Community SKC2-00IPR2H6000000 software package actually include when I order it?
The Community package ships as more than a license. You get the Community access management software, two dormakaba RFID encoders, and a lock programming and auditing unit. The encoders are what you use to write resident and staff credentials; the programming/auditing unit is what you carry to the door to program locks and pull the audit trail off them. Budget for a Windows server and a local workstation as well, since the software requires that configuration and it is not part of the package.
2) Which dormakaba locks does the Community access management software work with?
Community runs dormakaba RFID electronic locks, including the Nova-D deadbolt and the Saffire series locks. It also supports SR Series and Quantum RFID RCU/ECU readers along with the multi-floor controller, so unit doors, common area readers and elevator floor control sit under one system. If your existing hardware is not dormakaba RFID, this is not the software that will manage it.
3) Can my staff manage resident access from a phone or tablet instead of sitting at the leasing office PC?
Yes, within the property's own network. Community is web-based, so a desktop, laptop or mobile device on the property network can reach it. Property configuration and access management for residents, staff and vendors can be programmed remotely at any time, 24/7. That network condition is the practical limit worth planning around: this is browser access on the property's network, not an open internet portal.
4) Do residents need a key card, or can they use their phone to get in with the dormakaba Community system?
Either one. Community supports RFID credentials and mobile access together, with no additional software required on top of it. Residents who want phone entry use their smart device at all access points, and the mobile credentials are issued and authenticated through BlueSky, the dormakaba mobile access app. In practice most properties run a mix, cards for residents who want them and mobile for the ones who do not want to carry another fob.
5) I just need a card reader at one door, not a whole management platform. What should I buy instead of the dormakaba Community software?
Then this is the wrong product. Community is the management software and encoder package behind a property-wide dormakaba RFID system, not a piece of door hardware. For a single opening, look at a standalone reader such as the Schlage Electronics MTK15 multi-technology reader with keypad for wall mount, or the Securitron R100 surface mounted wireless card reader. The MTKB15 is the mobile-enabled version of the Schlage reader in a single-gang mount if phone credentials matter at that one door.
6) Can I use dormakaba Community to manage Schlage or Securitron readers already installed on the property?
No. Community manages dormakaba RFID hardware, specifically the RFID electronic locks including Nova-D and Saffire, the SR Series and Quantum RFID RCU/ECU readers, and the multi-floor controller. Schlage Electronics readers like the MTK15 and MTKB15, or the Securitron R100, are separate product lines that run on their own systems. Mixing brands on one platform is not something this software does, so plan the credential technology and the head end together.
7) Is the Dormakaba Community software a substitute for a door-mounted reader, or does it work alongside one?
Community is the access management software layer for dormakaba multihousing openings - it configures the property, manages resident, staff and vendor authorizations, encodes keys and pulls lock audits, and it ships with two dormakaba RFID encoders and a lock programming and auditing unit. It does not read a credential at the door. The reading is done by the dormakaba RFID locks and readers it supports, including the Nova-D deadbolt, Saffire series locks, SR Series and Quantum RFID RCU/ECU readers. A wall reader such as the Schlage Electronics MTK15, a networked multi-technology reader with keypad for wall mount, is a device at the opening rather than a management platform, so it answers a different part of the job.
8) What do I use if residents should punch a PIN at the entry instead of presenting a credential?
Community authenticates residents through RFID credentials and through mobile credentials issued and authenticated by the BlueSky mobile access app, so entry is by card or smart device. For a PIN at the opening, the Schlage Electronics MTK15 is a multi-technology reader with keypad that accepts PIN credentials as well as 125 kHz proximity cards, and its product function is an electronic reader with keypad. That is a device-level credential choice rather than a property-wide management platform.
9) Both mention mobile credentials - how is the Schlage MTKB15 different from dormakaba Community?
The Schlage Electronics MTKB15 is a mobile-enabled multi-technology reader with keypad in a black single-gang mount, an electronic reader with keypad installed at the opening. dormakaba Community is the software that issues and authenticates mobile credentials through the BlueSky app for dormakaba RFID locks and readers, lets residents use a smart device at all access points, and adds resident and staff role configuration, lock auditing and reporting, and integration with energy management, IoT and resident portal apps. One is the mobile-capable hardware at a single opening; the other is the credential delivery and management system behind a property.
10) Will a Securitron R100 wireless card reader do what the dormakaba Community system does?
No - they solve different problems. The Securitron R100 is a surface mounted wireless card reader in the RH100 Series, a credential reading device mounted on the wall. dormakaba Community is the web-based access management platform for multihousing operations that authenticates and authorizes residents, staff and vendors across a property, supports key encoding through the Community server or a client PC integrated with it, and provides lock auditing and reporting across dormakaba RFID locks including the Nova-D deadbolt and Saffire series. Pairing a third-party wireless reader with Community is not the same as adding a dormakaba RFID lock or an SR Series or Quantum RFID reader, which is what Community is built to manage.
11) Is dormakaba Community access software worth it for a small apartment property, or is it only for large portfolios?
It scales both ways. Community is built for multihousing operations from small properties up to large-scale multi-site portfolios, so a single building and a regional portfolio both run on the same platform. The thing that decides it is not door count but infrastructure: you need a Windows server and a local workstation configured for it. A property that cannot host that is better served by standalone locks than by a managed platform.
12) Can I see who opened a unit door and when with the dormakaba Community system?
Yes. Community includes advanced lock auditing and reporting, and the package ships with a lock programming and auditing unit for pulling records at the door itself. Combined with configurable resident and staff roles and rights, that covers the two things a property manager gets asked for after an incident: who had authorization, and who actually went through the door.
13) Will the dormakaba Community software tie into our resident portal and energy management systems?
That is one of the reasons to pick it. Community integrates with third-party systems and solutions developers for energy management, IoT, resident portal apps and more, and it also integrates with hotel reservation software for properties running short-stay or corporate units. Key encoding can be handled either at the Community server or from a client PC that integrates with it, which matters when your leasing desk is not where the server lives.
14) How do vendors and maintenance staff get access without handing out master keys on a dormakaba Community property?
Roles and rights for residents, staff and vendors are configured in the software and can be programmed remotely at any hour, so a contractor gets the openings they need for the window they need and nothing else. Credentials go out as RFID cards or as mobile credentials through BlueSky. Every lock carries auditing, so the vendor's use is on record rather than sitting on an unaccounted physical key.
15) I already run a controller on an RS-485 bus - what reader goes with that instead of a software platform?
The Schlage Electronics MTK15-485 is the RS-485 capable version of the MTK15 networked multi-technology reader with keypad, wall mount, with PIN credentials and 125 kHz proximity card support; the base MTK15 is the same reader without the RS-485 designation. Both are electronic readers with keypad. dormakaba Community is the web-based management software for dormakaba RFID locks and readers, programmed from a desktop, laptop or mobile device on the property network with a Windows server and local workstation configuration, so it sits at the property level rather than on a reader bus.
16) For a single entry door on a small property, is there a simpler option than a full management platform?
For one opening, a standalone reader covers the entry without a property-wide platform. The Schlage Electronics MTK15 is a wall mount networked multi-technology reader with keypad taking PIN credentials and 125 kHz proximity cards, and the MTKB15 is a mobile-enabled version in a black single-gang mount. dormakaba Community is scaled for small to large multi-site properties, with remote 24/7 programming of residents, staff and vendors and lock auditing across the property, so it earns its keep when there are many openings and changing occupants to manage rather than a single door.
