Schlage Utility Software (SUS) User Guide

Schlage Utility Software (SUS) User Guide

1.0 Introduction

The Schlage Utility Software (SUS) mobile app for Android devices is designed specifically for use with the SUS-A cable to set up and act as the link between access control software

and select Schlage® electronic locks and accessories. This new SUS mobile app and cable replaces the current SUS and HHD solution.

 

The SUS and SUS-A cable are used with networked and offline locks to initialize and configure devices, test operational status, perform ongoing system maintenance and update device firmware.

 

In addition, for offline devices, the SUS solution is utilized to transfer access control data from the Schlage Express access control software (such as authorized user lists) via the mobile

device and cable to the locks or accessories. SUS is also utilized to download audit trail information from locks to the mobile device and then transfer that data to Schlage Express for

analysis and storage.

 

The intuitive screen layout of the free SUS mobile app provides easy navigation during use. The SUS-A cable is an all-in-one solution with separate connectors – USB-A for our USB enabled

devices and a 2-pin serial connection for our serial enabled devices – to connect the mobile device to the locks.

 

Note: The SUS-A cable is compatible with the AD300 and AD400 locksets.
