How to Sync Fobs and Resolve Functionality Issues
Syncing a Fob for a Tenant
If a tenant's fob is experiencing issues or is not functioning as expected, syncing the fob can often resolve the problem by updating its programming. Syncing ensures that the fob is properly connected to the system and is aligned with any updates or changes made to the tenant’s account. Follow the steps below to sync a fob using the Nokē manager's mobile app. Be sure to check if a firmware update is needed, especially if your facility has the 'Fobs Follow User Schedule' setting enabled. This will ensure that the fob is correctly updated and ready for use.

Three Key Settings for Managing Fobs in Your Facility

- Allow Service Fobs: This setting must be enabled to allow fobs to be assigned to service or vendor-type users.
- Use Blacklist: This setting deactivates fobs for delinquent tenants or those who have moved out. It’s essential for tracking access and preventing unauthorized entry.
