Spartime: access that works offline
Spartime has been designing access solutions since 2002 and replaces keys and badges with personalized temporary access. Its key feature: FacilitAcces® door controllers work without an Internet connection at the equipped site.
Understand how it works
Where other solutions need a permanent connection between the club and the equipment, Spartime calculates codes that are valid for a given time range. The door controller verifies the code by itself, offline.
This is the solution to consider for an isolated court, a site without network coverage, or an installation where running a connection would be costly. Compatible door controllers also accept QR codes.
Each booking generates a different code, and events are stored in the door controller, with alert options.
Connect your Spartime account
- Open Administration›Settings›Access Control & Piloting, then More Information on the Spartime card.
- Activate the module.
- Enter your Spartime ID and your Spartime Password, then click Login.
The Gateway Status block confirms the connection. Spartime provides these credentials to you: they are not the credentials for your club account.
Register your door controllers
A door controller corresponds to a physical access point: the door to a court, a changing room, or an entrance gate. From Door Entry System Configuration, click New Gatekeeper.
- Tick Doorman Activated.
- Give it a clear Access Name, for example “Court no. 1 - South Door” or “Changing rooms”.
- Choose the Calendar / Access Type: this links the door controller to bookings for a given court.
- Tick With QR Code if your door controller is compatible.
- Enter the technical settings provided by Spartime for this equipment.
Open several doors with a single code
A player who books a court often needs to go through several doors: the gate, then the changing room, then the court. Instead of giving them three codes, define a Main Gatekeeper and link Secondary Gatekeepers (optional) to it.
The code issued when the booking is made then opens the entire route.
Check before opening to users
The Status & Test Codes tab for a door controller lets you check the installation before making it available to players: generate a code and test it on site.
Test the two code categories offered by the solution, Time Codes based on a time range and Instant Codes, before announcing the new process to your users.
