Device Information and Settings

Alerts

The CTE supports the same wireless alerts as NDE and LE devices. Each alert also generates a corresponding audit.

Device Information	CTE Series
Overview	The CTE is a single opening controller that allows perimeter and common area openings to be managed in a single system. It is powered by PoE or 12-24VDC and is considered a wireless device as it gets it updates over WiFi check in’s or BLE syncs. (2.4GHz Wi-Fi networks ONLY.). It is sold with and MTB in which it communicates via RS-485. It is ideal for multifamily, commercial mixed use, narrow stile and retail store front applications. The CTE can also operate as an offline device without an active wireless connection. In this configuration, the CTE receives all updates through BLE sync or No Tour programming.

Setting	Description	Contingencies	Options (Default)
First Person In	Guarantees that at least one person is present when the door is open.	Works with AutoUnlock Schedules .	On: lock will remain locked until a user presents a credential to open the door. The lock will then stay unlocked until the end of the AutoUnlock period. (Off) : lock will unlock at the set unlock time.
Door Position Sensor	Senses whether the door is open or closed.	Physical DPS must be installed. (DPS: Door position sensor)	On: monitor the door status (Off) : do not monitor the door status
Door Prop Enabled	Toggle whether a door prop event should be generated when the door is propped open.	Door Position Sensor must be On . Works with Door Prop Delay.	On: a door prop event will be generated when the door prop delay time is met (Off) : no door prop event will be generated
Door Prop Delay	The amount of time before a door prop event is generated.	Door Position Sensor * must be *On . Door Prop Enabled must be On .	1-255 seconds (20) seconds
Lock On Close	Known as Anti-tailgate in Engage. Locks the device immediately when its status changes from open to closed. Available only when Door Position Sensor is on
Latch Interval (Relock delay)	Number of seconds before the latch relocks after unlocking.		1-30 seconds (3) seconds
Proximity RF	Toggle whether proximity credentials will be read or not.		(On) : Proximity credentials will be read Off: Proximity credentials will not be read
Beeper	Toggle whether the beeper should sound or not.		(On) : the lock beeper will sound Off: the lock beeper will not sound
Main Strike	Match to physical strike type.	Door Position Sensor must be On.	(Electric Strike) Electric Exit Electrified Lock Magnetic Lock Other
Daily Schedule/Weekly Schedule	Use this to configure the check-in frequency*. You can use a daily schedule and have the device check in anywhere from every 1 hour to every 24 hours. You can use a weekly schedule and only have the device check in at specific times on specific days of the week.		(Daily) Weekly
Check In Frequency	How often the check-in should occur.	Since the CTE has consistent hard line power, it can check in more frequently to allow for faster updates. The default of every 15 mins is standard, but can adjust as needed.	(Every 15mins) Every 30 mins Every 1 hours Every 2 hours Every 4 hours Every 8 hours Every 12 hours Every 24 hours
Check In Time	The specific time the check-in should occur.	Daily Schedule must be selected.	(The current time)
Day of the Week	The day of the week the check-in should occur.	Weekly Schedule must be selected	(none)
Check in Time (for each day)	The specific time the check-in should occur.	Weekly Schedule must be selected	(The current time)
Next Expected Check In	The next time the check-in is expected to occur.
Last Connect time	The last time the device connected to the server.

Troubleshooting

Can I use an MTBK15 reader with the CTE?: No. The CTE supports the MTB11 and MTB15 readers only.
My MTB needs to be replaced. Do I need to recommission the CTE?: Recommissioning the CTE is not required.

Physically replace the MTB and pair it to the CTE using the MTB pairing steps below.
Complete a Wi-Fi or BLE check-in to associate the new MTB serial number with the CTE.
BLE credentials aren’t recognized at the MTB connected to my CTE. What should I check?: Confirm the MTB wiring is correct.
Check the CTE’s device settings for the MTB serial number. If none appears, recheck the wiring and sync the CTE.
My CTE isn’t checking in. What should I check?: Confirm the Wi-Fi network settings are saved on the CTE.
Run Check in via Wi-Fi
from the Zentra mobile app.
How do I factory default reset (FDR) a CTE?: Remove the CTE lid.
Press and hold the FDR
button, and release once the LED turns green and beeps.
Press the Schlage
button three times.

A successful FDR is indicated by the CTE status LED and reader LED blinking green for one second, with the reader beeping for one second. The MODE LED then indicates Factory Default mode.
How do I pair or re-pair an MTB to a CTE?: Confirm the wiring is correct.
Press the Schlage
button once, then press the FDR
button twice.

Success is indicated by three amber LED flashes and a beep. Failure is indicated by three red LED flashes and a beep.
I can’t connect via BLE to pair my CTE. What’s wrong?: Confirm the mobile device is in BLE range of the CTE itself, not the MTB reader. The CTE and MTB are typically installed in separate locations — the CTE is often mounted in a storage or utility room, while the MTB reader sits at the door. Pairing only succeeds within range of the CTE.
