Spartime: access that works offline

Spartime has been designing access solutions since 2002 and replaces keys and badges with temporary, personalized access. Its distinctive feature: FacilitAcces® door controllers work without an Internet connection on 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 checks the code 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

1. Open Administration›Settings›Access Control & Piloting, then More Information on the Spartime card.
2. Activate the module.
3. 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.

Declare your door controllers

A door controller corresponds to a physical access point: a court door, a changing room, or an entrance gate. From Door Entry System Configuration, click New Gatekeeper.

1. Tick Doorman Activated.
2. Give it a clear Access Name, for example “Court no. 1 - South Door” or “Changing rooms”.
3. Choose the Calendar / Access Type. This links the door controller to bookings for a given court.
4. Tick With QR Code if your door controller is compatible.
5. 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 pass through several doors: the gate, then the changing room, then the court. Instead of giving them three codes, designate a Main Gatekeeper and attach Secondary Gatekeepers (optional) to it.

The code issued when the booking is made then opens the entire route.

Check before opening to the public

The Status & Test Codes tab of a door controller lets you check the installation before making it available to players. Generate a code and check it on site.

Test the two code types offered by the solution before announcing the new process to your users: Time Codes, which are based on a time range, and Instant Codes.
