In my Salto KS Web App, I can see a tag that does not belong to a user profile, How can I fix this?

If you find a tag that has not been assigned to a user, you can still use this tag for access on your site. To enable this, you can invite a user that this tag should be assigned to by going to the People page, selecting Invite, and then entering the tag number. From here onwards, you can follow the steps to make sure this tag is assigned to the right user and ready for use.

Does the KS System have firewall port setting requirement?

The IQ only establishes outgoing connections. In order for the IQ to work correctly, it needs to be able to establish outgoing connections on all ports. If this is not in line with your default IT policy, please contact Salto Systems Support with your concerns and to receive further guidance.

When connecting the IQ 2.0 through Ethernet or Wi-Fi local network settings can interfere with the IQ operation. Updates and normal operation requires different settings. Ideally, the IQ should be on a network where all outbound traffic for the IQ is accepted. This is the only way to ensure an update will work as it should and will ensure no issues with normal operation.

For updating, any port could be used so the network must allow all outgoing traffic.

For normal operation, the IQ uses IP addresses and port 40000 and 40001, these should be whitelisted. Note that the IQ makes a connection to these ports on the Salto KS backend system, but the connection is done from a random port. Thus, the IQ must be allowed to connect to external port 40000 or 40001 for this to work.

If it's not accepted the IQ must have access, due to security reasons, an M2M connection is an option. If the IQ cannot connect, check the following:

Network requirements - DHCP server that provides the IQ with an IP address For Wi-Fi - Preferably WPA or WPA2 encryption, otherwise an open network. 2.4ghz only. For Ethernet - No network authentication (no 802.1X)

The IQ connects to a server on TCP ports 40000 and 40001. The IQ updates by downloading a file from our FTPS server. It is not possible to give out fixed IP addresses of the Salto KS backend to which the IQs connect. The Salto KS backend is dynamically hosted and scales up/down based on a number of requests and connected IQs. You can compare this to for example going to gmail.com or any other popular website. When connecting, you're not sure to which server you're forwarded. However, what some of our customers do, is implement whitelisting on IQ Mac addresses. This means they only allow IQ Mac addresses that are whitelisted to connect to the outside world. If MAB is used in the network (MAC Authentication Bypass), it would be necessary to whitelist MAC addresses of the IQs (which do not support 802.1X) in the network authentication backend, allowing the IQs to connect without further authentication.

We would advise the customer to look into this option. There is no way to whitelist IPs of our backend services.

What rights does a super user have? What is the maximum number of people that can I make super users?

Super users can grant rights to other super users and basic users.

Rights can be granted on the People screen.

There is no limitation on the number of users that can have the super user role.

Does blocking a user work instantly?

In most cases, this action is applied effectively within 5 seconds.

Does a user receive a notification once I block them?

A user will not be notified through an email or update, but they are denied access when they are blocked and attempt to open the lock.

How do I view my Entries Log?

To view a log of all entries to your site, tap on the icon Entries.

Can I change the date format in the Salto KS Web App?

Yes! The app supports two different date formats automatically adjusted based on the site's time zone. This includes the date formats MM-DD-YYYY and DD-MM-YYYY.

The date format presented in your app is determined by the time zone set for a site and will apply to all users within the site. The time zone for a property is configured during its commissioning, and if required at a later stage, Site Admins can change it via the web app. To do so, navigate to a site of your choice and click Site then in the site overview Edit Site. Here, you can change the time zone.

The date format is not based on browser geolocation.

The date format MM-DD-YYYY applies to sites in the following:

States: Alaska, Aleutian Islands, Arizona, East-Indiana, Hawaii, Indiana-Starke, Michigan, and Samoa.

Time zones: Central, Eastern, Pacific, and Mountain.

All other time zones will follow the DD-MM-YYYY date format.
