Acccess
We’ve switched to a new electronic lock. The system uses CardLink (dormakaba exos), which means your access rights are stored on your ETH card and must be refreshed regularly.
What you need to do
- Update your card at an Update Terminal (this is not the same as a Validation Terminal).
Location: RZ – Floor E (Update Terminal).
- Hold your card to the white rectangle on the lower part of the terminal until the display shows “Update erfolgreich”.
- Refresh your card at least every 30 days to keep your access active.
Using the door
- Green light on the reader = access granted → turn the outer handle to open.
- Red light + beeps = access denied → please update your card at an Update Terminal and try again.
Quick troubleshooting
- No access: Update your card at an Update Terminal (especially after a card replacement).
- Still no access: Your access may have expired or been withdrawn. Please contact mauro.duenki@gess.ethz.ch
