Method for preparing for the start-up of a control unit for access devices, access system, control unit, access device, computer program product

A method for preparing for the start-up of a control unit for access devices, wherein at least one access device is communicatively connected to the control unit,

• wherein the control unit
• has a communication interface for information technology communication with a mobile terminal and/or
• has an input device for detecting an input from an installer or is in communicative connection with an input device for detecting an input from an installer,
• wherein the method includes the following steps in the following order:
• a) a first step of detecting, using the control unit, an information technology signal or a change in an existing information technology continuous signal of a mobile terminal by the communication interface, and/or
• detecting an input from an installer using the input device,
• b) a second step of sending a trigger signal from the control unit to the access device connected to the control unit,
• c) a third step of receiving the trigger signal using the access device, and
• d) a fourth step of performing an action using the access device depending on the received trigger signal, wherein the action performed in step d) is an action perceptible to an installer,
• identifying associated access devices, which are assigned together to a common control unit,
• identifying using the mobile terminal, one of the access devices, which is communicatively connected to the common control unit by method steps a) to d), and
• concluding that the control unit is communicatively connected to all associated access devices,
• wherein the mobile terminal communicates with a server via a direct or indirect network connection, wherein the server has a digital representation of the access devices,
• wherein the digital representation comprises association information from which it can be derived which of the access devices are assigned together to a common control unit and are or should be communicatively connected thereto,
• wherein the mobile terminal accesses the association information of the digital representation,
• wherein the method further includes the following steps:
• identifying associated access devices, which are assigned together to a common control unit, based on the association information of the digital representation,
• displaying the associated access devices on a display device of the mobile terminal,
• identifying one of the access devices, which is communicatively connected to the common control unit—the control unit that performs step a)—by method steps a) to d),
• and concluding that the control unit that performs step a)—is communicatively connected to all associated access devices,
• storing a verification indicator on the mobile terminal and/or on the server for those associated access devices whose associated control unit is identified and/or linking the respective access devices the associated digital representation.
