• For exterior doors or high-traffic entrances requiring automated operation
• The MTB15/MTKB15 readers authenticate credentials (cards, fobs, or mobile).
• Once verified, the reader signals an electric strike to release the lock.
• If the door has an automatic door operator (ADO), it will open automatically.
• In setups without an operator, a Schlage PS902 power supply is used to provide low-voltage power to the reader and electric strike.

The Schlage CTE (Connect to ENGAGE) controller enables integration of MTB series readers into the ENGAGE ecosystem when used with electrified hardware like strikes or maglocks.

System Flow:

1. Credential is presented at the MTB15 or MTKB15 reader
2. Reader communicates with the CTE controller
3. CTE validates credentials via ENGAGE
4. Upon success, the CTE triggers the electric strike to unlock
   
   Use Case: Ideal for single-door applications requiring online control but using wired locking hardware. It bridges the gap between smart readers and electrified openings in the ENGAGE platform.
   
   
   

ENGAGE Software (available via web portal and mobile app) is the brain of the system. It provides centralized management for credentials, access schedules, and device settings.

Capabilities:

• Add/remove users and mobile credentials
• Set schedules, holidays, and access levels
• View audit trails and reports
• Sync devices wirelessly or through gateways
• Integrate with third-party access control platforms (e.g., LenelS2, C•CURE, Open Options)

Whether you’re managing a few doors or scaling to hundreds of devices, ENGAGE simplifies setup and ongoing administration.

The ENGAGE Gateway (Optional but often used) is the central hub that enables real-time connectivity between locks/readers and the ENGAGE cloud platform.

Key Functions:

• Connects up to 10 devices per gateway
• Communicates with locks via Bluetooth, and with the network via Wi-Fi or Ethernet
• Pushes updates and credential data to devices
• Enables real-time events and remote management

Using gateways reduces the need for manual updates via mobile devices and allows administrators to manage access remotely and efficiently.

Schlage contactless smart credentials put you in control by delivering smarter
solutions.

These credentials protect your most sensitive data by utilizing extra
layers of security protection, and can be used for many other applications including transit, cashless vending, and cafeteria point of sale.

Schlage contactless smart credentials operate on a 13.56 MHz frequency, and utilize high security encrypted data, which is mutually authenticated in communication between the card and reader, providing optimum security.
