Overview of Locknetics
• Used in the Vanderbilt Engineering
school to ensure secure access to
facilities in Featheringill and
Jacobs Hall
• Features:
– Records 1000 door events
– Low power, runs off AA
batteries
– 6/12 Button Keypad
– Emergency access key
– Based on heavy duty Schlage

Hardware Requirements
• Host Computer
– Shall process changes and stores database of access rules
– Shall have standard keyboard, monitor, etc.
• Card Reader
– Shall acquire user information from cards for use to update database on host
computer
• Palmtop Device
– Shall store updated database while going from lock to lock
• Transmission Medium from Host Computer to Palmtop
– Shall send updated card access rules from the Host Computer to the Palmtop
Device
• Lock Interfacing Module
– Shall accept new data and places it in the lock
• Transmission Medium from Palmtop Device to Lock Interfacing Module
– Shall send the updated card access rules from the Palmtop Device to the Lock
Interfacing Module
Software Requirements
• Operating System for Host Computer
– Shall enable control of the host computer
• Database Program
– Shall store and organize the card access rule for each lock
– Shall keep an inventory of all the users that have access to locks
• Palmtop Synchronization Software
– Shall synchronize the database on the Palmtop Device with the database on
the Host Computer
– Shall package and send data to the IO Ports on the computer
• Palmtop Operating System
– Shall enable control of the Palmtop Device
• Palmtop Database Software
– Shall organize and store the card access rules on the palmtop device
• Lock Synchronization Software
– Shall package and send information to IO ports of the Palmtop device
intended for the lock
Locknetics Problem
•
Banana Plugs unable to withstand stress of CIP
module and cord
•
Physical connection problems between CIP and lock
•
Time consumption of walking to each door to
program locks

Proposed Solution
Banana
Pins
Smart Cable
•Lower Cost
•Less Stress on Banana Pins
•Can be implemented quickly
•Simply Design as compared to wireless alternative
Lock
Pomonaelectronics.com
Additional Proposed Solutions
• Machine Shop Inserts
– Hinders use of iButton
– Requires modification of over 100 locks
Lock
• Modify Ground Banana Pin
• Sponsor’s Proposed Solution
- Wireless Data Transmission (Bluetooth or Infrared)
Circuit Schematic and Simulation
• Output of CIP module uses
5V – 0V voltage levels
• These Voltage Levels are
common among digital
electronics
• Close to 5V when data is
being sent to lock.
• Close to 0V when not data
being sent to lock
• As predicted by simulation,
voltage levels were
between 0V and 5V
