When you are expecting a visitor, SMS the word “TAP” to your Gate cellular number. ( +27 83 649 6196 )
Wait for a return SMS. MKII Lite intercoms provide 1 pin for Entry and Exit. - The SMS should read: “Gate: The temporary access pin for Entry is XXXXX and Exit is XXXXX. Valid for 2 tries.” ( If you do not receive back an SMS with this, Please recharge the MTN SMS bundle on the gate's number and try again.
Forward the SMS received to your visitor via SMS or Whatsapp or any other form of communication.
The visitor will provide the pin to the guard on duty to open the gate without the him/ she having to call you for permission.
When your visitor exits, they will type the Exit pin on to the grey keypad at the exit gate. This will open the gate with no intervention from the guards.
Please note that an entry pin is valid until midnight daily, thus should your guest leave later than 24:00, you may request an EXIT pin by SMSing the word “TAPEX” (no spaces) to the gate cellular number. *This is only for MKII Lite pcb’s
