Dormakaba EP-MU-COM-001 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What is the Kaba Simplex E-Plex M-Unit Kit and when do I need it?
The E-Plex M-Unit Kit, model EP-MU-COM-001, is what you need when you want to use a laptop or netbook PC as the communication device for E-Plex locks. It handles the link between the PC and the lock: an IrDA to USB adaptor, a USB extension cable, a Getting Started Guide, and a USB drive carrying the PC M-Unit software plus an electronic copy of the user manual. It is not a lock and it is not a credential reader, it is the transfer tool that moves programming and audit data between your PC and the locks.
2) My laptop has no infrared port. Can I still program E-Plex locks with it?
That is exactly the gap this kit fills. Modern laptops and netbooks dropped IrDA years ago, and E-Plex locks talk over infrared. The EP-MU-COM-001 kit supplies an IrDA to USB adaptor plus a USB extension cable, so the PC gets an infrared port through a USB connection and the extension lets you position the adaptor at the lock while the laptop sits somewhere sensible.
3) Does the E-Plex M-Unit Kit come with software, or do I have to buy that separately?
The software ships in the box. The kit includes a USB drive loaded with the PC M-Unit software along with an electronic copy of the user manual, so the PC side is covered once you have the adaptor plugged in. Nothing extra to license or download to get the M-Unit running on a laptop.
4) Do I need one E-Plex M-Unit Kit per door or just one for the building?
One kit per PC, not per door. The M-Unit is the communication tool that carries user data and audit trails between your laptop and the locks, so a single administrator walking a building with one laptop needs one EP-MU-COM-001. If you have two people programming locks on two separate laptops, that is two kits.
5) Is the E-Plex M-Unit Kit meant for commercial installations?
Commercial, yes. The EP-MU-COM-001 kit is catalogued for commercial use as an electronic access control accessory, which is where E-Plex locks live: multi-family common doors, offices, schools, and similar facilities where a single administrator programs a group of locks from a PC rather than at the keypad.
6) Is the E-Plex M-Unit Kit an installation part or a programming tool?
Both labels fit, depending on how you think about it. It is filed as an installation accessory and it is what a technician brings to commission E-Plex locks, but nothing in the kit mounts to the door. There is no strike, no spindle, no mounting hardware. What you get is the IrDA to USB adaptor, the USB extension cable, the getting started guide, and the software drive, so budget it as a tool line rather than as door hardware on the takeoff.
