Feature Overview

Airfob credentials allow you to open doors using your mobile phone instead of a plastic RFID card. This feature is part of Suprema Mobile Access and requires an access control solution compatible with Suprema Mobile Access.


Requirements

To use Airfob credentials, you need:

  • The Airfob app installed on your mobile device.
  • A valid Airfob credential issued by your organization.

If you have both the app and a valid credential, follow this guide to use your phone to open doors.


Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Launch the Airfob App

The Airfob app must be running to use Airfob credentials.

Airfob supports two modes:

  • Foreground Mode: The app must be on-screen, and the mobile credential must be visible.
  • Background Mode: The app runs in the background and will open doors even when the phone is locked.

For help switching between modes, refer to our Quickstart Guide.

Step 2: Tap Your Phone on the Access Control Reader

Bring your phone within 5 cm (2 inches) of the access control reader. This should activate the reader and open the door.

Note: Some phones may require a specific position or angle to work correctly.


Common Issues & Considerations

  • If the reader light turns red or your app displays an Access Denied message, contact your site administrator.
  • Your site administrator is typically a member of your IT, security, or HR team.
