- When the device is out of the box. There is a default key. The device manager app can access with the private key entered by the device admin password. Once the connection is made, the key value of the device default key is changed to the entered private key values.


- Simply, when the device is already in use status. The device manager app cannot make a connection with the default key. It is checked by whether or not the device has RS485 key received from a master device, or the device has a changed Wiegand output setting.
