What's new

Here is an overview of the new features included in the latest CISA AERO release, version [29], deployed in production on Monday, 16th February.

CISA Reader App auto-troubleshooting

AERO troubleshoots CISA Reader App configuration before starting a programming operation, preventing card programming from hanging if the CISA Reader app is not selected.

Card programming image (MIFARE DESFire)

When writing cards, AERO now displays a MIFARE DESFire image for plants that are Cybersecure-certified.

If the plant is not Cybersecure-certified, MIFARE Classic cards remain supported and AERO displays the MIFARE Classic image.
Consult an authorized CISA technician or reseller to verify whether your plant can be upgraded to “Cybersecure” requirements.

Auto-programs

The end-user can configure electronic locks to execute automatic operations (Office-on or Lock-out) at scheduled days and times.

Private rooms

With an AERO multi-user subscription, rooms can be marked as “Private” to prevent unauthorized users from creating keys for those rooms.

AERO API

AERO APIs provide maximum flexibility for partners who want to build their own integrations (PMS, kiosk, building automation, etc.).
AERO DLL allows seamless connection to AERO for partners who already have integrations built on the CISA Legacy DLL.

Communication

CISA can send newsletters to partners (integrators or locksmiths) to inform them of relevant changes or updates.
CISA can display multilingual banners (web application warnings) customized for specific users or subscriptions.

BLE mobile keys with “validation”

When creating a mobile credential, it is possible to set a MOBILE VALIDATION interval (N hours), which requires mobile keys to be revalidated every N hours.

Major bug fixes

  • In some cases, the CISA Reader App was unable to detect USB reader after PC resumed from stand-by or after app automatic update and restart.
  • The CISA Reader App occasionally wrote data to the wrong card (due to PMS service errors), resulting in corrupted/unusable cards.
