GWE – ENGAGE Gateway, NDE Lock and SMS Addressing
The address of the GWE - ENGAGE Gateway (RS-485) should be set to the lowest number available, from 0 to 9.
A maximum of ten (10) NDE Series wireless locks with ENGAGE can communicate with a Gateway on the same
channel. The address defined in the Gateway and bright blue for the NDE locks ranges from 0 to 9.
bright blue addresses will always be identical to the value displayed in the ENGAGE iOS or Android app. The
ENGAGE Gateway will have the same address as the NDE lock with the lowest address.
Setting the address of the Gateway requires designation of the range of addresses being used by the NDE Locks
that will communicate with the Gateway: designate both a Low and a High address for the NDE locks to allow the
Gateway to maintain the correct open addresses for the NDE locks.
Example: A Gateway is defined which will be supporting 5 NDE locks. These are the only devices on this
controller channel, so there are no other device addresses to consider. Set the Gateway to address 0, with a
Low value of 0 and a High value of 4 (i.e. the NDE locks will be addressed from 0 to 4).
Additional Gateways on the same controller channel, should be addressed with the next available address
and its Low / High range for the NDE locks should start at that number.
Example: A second Gateway is added to the system, on the same channel as the example above. There will
be 5 NDE Locks communicating with the 2
nd
Gateway. Addresses of the 1
st
Gateway and NDE locks have
already been set (see above example). These addresses must be considered when addressing the 2
nd
Gateway and additional NDE locks. The 2
nd
Gateway should be configured to address 5 (the next available
address) and the Low value will be set to 5 and the high value will be set to 9.
Configure bright blue to communicate with the 2
nd
Gateway at address 5 and the NDE locks communicating
with it will be addressed from 5 through 9.
Configuring GWE – ENGAGE Gateway and NDE Locks
Allegion ENGAGE Account
Schlage GWE – ENGAGE Gateways and NDE Series locks with ENGAGE technology are commissioned
(initialized for use) and configured using an iOS or Android smart phone app which requires login to an
Allegion ENGAGE account.
The commissioning will download an encryption key to the Gateway and Locks which is shared by all
ENGAGE devices assigned to the ENGAGE Account Site so that only ENGAGE devices within the same site
can communicate with each other and with the ENGAGE app login to the site.
Vanderbilt will create an ENGAGE Site and forward an Invite via email which must be accepted prior to lock
commissioning and configuration. Use the Vanderbilt provided ENGAGE account username (email address)
and password in the ENGAGE Android or iOS mobile app as indicated below.
