The QuikStor Control Panel is an application that interfaces with the keypad hardware. The control panel should be running at all times in order for your tenant gate codes to update.
You can find the application on the desktop here.
You can also open it from the System Tray on the bottom right of the taskbar if Quikstor Control Panel is open and has been minimized.
IP Addresses
The gate tab of the application will have the listing of keypads and the IP addresses. If you do not see them you should try doing a reset code at the keypad to bring them back online. The reset code is **1#7378#.
Commands
Here you can open your gate momentarily, hold open, close and test keycodes by selecting the appropriate command and hitting "Execute" It is necessary to select the appropriate keypad in the drop down menu. Sync all tables will update your keypads with the most current. Set keypad ID should be done at time of installation. If the ID changes from what it was originally set to the keypads will not work properly.

Keypads
Keypads: This screen is where you enter your keypad information.
Here you will specify if your keypad will be set as an Entrance, Exit, Access Door, or Elevator.On the bottom part of this screen is where you define which keypads belong to which keypad zone. A keypad zone is one or more keypads that a tenant may access at the facility. In this form you would enter the zone number, followed by one keypad device on the first line. Each line can have one zone, and one device listed. For example, if you have a two keypad system and you want them both to be part of keypad zone #1, then you would have two lines as shown in the picture.
Notes: Make sure to click on Save at the bottom of each section after making any changes.
Time zones
Time zones are your defined gate hours. If there is a need to change them, time is recorded in military time. Please make sure to hit the "save" button for any changes to take place. You can add time configurations with the "+" sign. Please make sure your management software has the same time zone ID as the one in QCP.
In holidays you can click the "+" sign and add the date. Please make sure the gate time in "holidays" is set to the hours you would like have. 00:00 is closed all day.
Messages
Your keypads come with customizable display text. All Lines can be edited to suit your needs. Note that anything with a ^ like ^PTD^, ^BAL^, ^NAME^ is a command line and must be kept to return the specific result.
^NAME^ -- Prints out as much of the tenant's Last Name as possible
^PTD^ -- Prints out the paid-thru date in MM/DD/YYYY format

Non Tenant Codes
NT Codes: this button is only used for sites not running QuikStor management software. It allows the manager to add a code for contractors, trash pick-up, etc. When you click this button you will see a screen where you can enter in a name, code, access rights and a keypad
Configurations
This is the tab where you will fine tune and customize the Infinity system to your facility. Here is a listing of the variables and what they do in the program:
Relays – There are two relays inside the keypad; the main gate relay and the intercom relay. The intercom relay is set at a default of 6 seconds and should not be changed unless directed by QuikStor Support. The main gate relay is set by default to 5 seconds. This setting is fine for most gate motors; however you may want to modify this setting if you are controlling an access door to hold the door open longer with the keypad relay. Lastly there is an elevator setting when controlling elevator relays (on the separate Relay Board.) The default is to hold the relay for 45 seconds, but again this can be modified to suit your facility’s needs.
Master Gate Hours - This is where you select the gate hours for your entire site. Select the opening time in the first box and your closing time in the second box. This time is what other variables reference, such as siren duration or after exit settings. Typically corresponds to your office hours.
Tenant Offsite (Minutes) – there are two fields that determine how long a tenant can be onsite before they are moved offsite by the system. The first is how long after they entered their code at an entrance keypad and the second is how long after their door is closed (only applicable to sites with QuikStor wireless door alarms). Both of these settings are used to assure that the system is kept current and/or that a unit is re-armed if someone tail gates out of the facility.
Climate (Fan or Heater) – depending on the climate you live in you may choose to add a small fan or heating element inside of the keypad housing. The fan helps keep the inside circuitry cool in extreme heat environments. The heating element is for extreme cold climates where freezing could occur on the keypad keys. Select “Fan” to enable the fan feature or “Heater” for the heater feature on the drop down menu. The necessary hardware must be installed inside the keypad for these features to work.
Tail lock – Set to ‘Yes, Always” if you want to lock a tenant in that did not enter their code at the entry keypad. Enter a “No, Never” if you would like to allow “tailgaters” out of your facility at any time. You can also only lock them in during certain times. For instance if you only want to lock them in while the manager is on duty, select, “Yes, Only During Master Gate Hours”, conversely if you only want to lock them in after normal office hours select, “Yes, Only After Master Gate Hours”. Exit gate activity will show up as, “Tail Out” or “Tail Lock” in your QuikStor activity window based on which option you choose above.
Grace Period (Day) – how many days past their paid-to-date do you want to allow tenants into the facility? A specialized message will come up on the entry keypad notifying the tenant that he is past due and needs to pay his rent now.
After Exit (Minutes) – how many minutes after closing (tenant’s gate hours) are tenants allowed to leave the facility using the exit keypad?
One Code – you can assign multiple gate codes to each unit, however if you prefer to only have one code per unit you can lock down this feature by changing this variable to “Yes”. By default it is set to “Off”.
Welcome Screen Interval – your Infinity keypads allow you to have alternating welcome messages allowing you to convey more information to your tenants. For instance, you could choose to only change the bottom line and alternate between the current time/date and the current temperature. If you choose to have alternating screen the number of seconds in this field that you would like to display each screen. The higher the number the less frequent the interval.
Speaker Volume – adjust the speaker volume for intercom communication or audio feedback
Increment OnSite Counter for Access Door/Elevator Onsite List – if the checkbox is selected the onsite list will be incremented for access door and elevator keypads. If unchecked the onsite list will not increment.
