Use the Avigilon Alta access control system integration with Allegion Schlage® wireless locks and ENGAGE technology to configure and manage wireless locks without gateway hardware.
You can connect Allegion’s NDEB, LEB, and Control™ wireless locks to your Avigilon Alta system in No-Tour Mode by using the ENGAGE app and the Avigilon Alta Access app.
No-Tour mode features
Integrators can install the Allegion Schlage LE version B (LEB) and NDE version B (NDEB) wireless locks in offices and building amenities.
Integrators can install the Control smart locks in low to mid-rise residences.
Administrators and operators can provision locks and access rights for both Avigilon Alta and Schlage devices at their desks, without needing to visit (or tour) the devices in person.
Occupants can use key cards, fobs (see Note below), or mobile credentials to unlock entries and update their access rights.
Note: Only Schlage Cards or fobs purchased from Avigilon Alta can be used for No-Tour locks.
(Schlage cards/fobs not purchased from Avigilon are not supported.)

Avigilon Alta Mobile credentials will work also and are programmed just like regular Avigilon Alta Mobile credentials.
For Mobile Credentials to work, the no-tour lock needs to be toured with the Avigilon Alta Access app before a user can successfully use a mobile credential.

Creating an All-Access Credential (also known as a Master-Key)
To create an All-Access Credential, examples being for the Police or Fire Department, you would grant that card access to all the entries, then you would tour each lock with either the Open Admin app OR the card itself and present the app or card to each lock that it has access to, which would program that card to those locks.
Steps for creating an All-Access card
Add a user (e.g. emergency user, fire/police, ...) with full access to all entries
Give that user a Schlage credential
When adding the credential make sure not to check the no-tour checkbox to "save" space on Schlage fobs
Tour all the locks
If they need to need to change the credential (e.g. lost it or it was stolen)
Delete the old credential
Add a new one to that same user
Re-tour all the locks
