New DatabaseThe next decision is related to the security of the locks and keys.The keys must match an access code in the cylinder before it gains access. The access codes canbe created in two ways: Using the Grand Master's encrypted access codes or creating accesscodes by entering passwords. Here are the advantages of both to help make this decision.Unlike mechanical systems where a key is limited physically by the possible combinations, theCyberLock system has trillions of possible combinations of access codes.The Grand Master's encrypted access codes are randomly generated, unique codes. Videx doesnot keep a record of them. There are no passwords to remember. The Grand Master becomes ahardware key to the system. This is an easier route for system evaluations. Care should be takento ensure the Grand Master used for the access codes is kept in a safe place.When creating passwords, they can be up to 32 characters long. They are case sensitive andspecial characters can be used. Knowing the passwords would allow recreating a database if theoriginal database was lost or corrupted. Creating manual passwords enables systemadministrators to create a reset key.Choose either " Grand Master key" or " Manual password entry"by clicking on the radio button.
