eKEY  
User Manual  
Product overview  
The eKEY software allows your PDA to act as an electronic key  
that gives you access to Supra KeyBoxes placed at listings. An  
eKEY shell attachment for the PDA is provided if you access  
AEII KeyBoxes. The shell is not needed for areas where iBoxes  
are used exclusively.  
The eKEY software keeps track of the KeyBoxes it has opened  
throughout the day. At the end of the day, the software expires  
and must be updated by connecting to the Supra network in a  
process called eSYNC. During an eSYNC, your PDA sends  
showing data to the network, updates your eKEY software, and  
receives messages. Depending on your eKEY service level, the  
latest MLS data and showing activity may be also delivered to  
your PDA.  
Software applications  
The Supra software applications include eDATA, eKEY, eSYNC,  
and eInstall.  
eDATA. This application enables you to view listing details,  
roster information, and KeyBox activity.  
eKEY. This application enables you to access Supra  
KeyBoxes with your PDA.  
eSYNC. This application controls the process of  
transmitting information between your PDA and the  
Supra network.  
eInstall. This application is only used on PDAs with the  
Palm operating system and allows you to beam all of the  
Supra applications to another PDA.

Automatic eSYNC  
The eKEY software turns on your PDA at a predetermined time  
between midnight and 6 a.m. to connect to the Supra network and  
perform an automatic eSYNC. Your eKEY software is updated  
and you receive showing alerts. If you have eKEY Professional  
service, your PDA also receives the latest listing and roster  
information.  
To perform an automatic eSYNC, follow the instructions for your  
eSYNC connection method.  
PC-Internet connection. Use the cable or cradle that came  
with your PDA to connect it to your computer each night.  
For the automatic eSYNC to occur, your computer must  
be on and with an active Internet connection.  
Wireless connection. A wireless eSYNC occurs  
automatically if your PDA phone is in an area covered by  
cellular service. If a wireless eSYNC fails because your  
PDA phone is out of coverage during the designated  
automatic eSYNC time, your PDA checks for coverage  
every 30 minutes between 6 a.m. and 10 p.m.  
Note:  
You will not see your PDA checking for coverage.  
When it finds coverage, your PDA will perform an  
eSYNC to update the eKEY software for KeyBox access  
only. If you have eKEY Professional service, new listing  
information is not delivered in this situation. You will  
need to perform a manual eSYNC to receive updated  
MLS information and showing activity.  
Supra Dial-up connection. If you’ve purchased a Supra  
eSYNC modem, you can update your eKEY through an  
analog phone line. Connect your PDA to the modem  
each night and it will automatically dial the Supra  
network and perform an eSYNC.

iBox. Your PDA communicates with the iBox using infrared  
technology. The infrared port on your PDA transmits  
information to the infrared lens on the front of the iBox.  
The distance should be less than a foot between your  
PDA and the iBox. Direct sunlight can interfere with the  
infrared communication, so you may need to shade the  
area between the PDA and iBox when you are accessing  
the key container.

details, and the listing agent’s business card.  
Use the chain inside the KeyBox key container to attach the  
listing keys. The AEII KeyBox container holds up to two listing  
keys, and the iBox holds up to three. Before closing the key  
container, verify that all items are well inside and that the front is  
not bowing or bulging out. If you are a listing agent, always  
make sure that you have a spare set of listing keys before you  
close the key container.  
CAUTION:  
Do not place ID tags, key rings, or loose objects in the  
key container. They can jam the container.  
To close the key container, turn it so that the compartment  
holding the keys is facing you. Insert the key container into the  
bottom of the KeyBox and push up until it closes.

CBS codes  
Every KeyBox contains a Call Before Showing (CBS) code that  
you can activate using the Manage KeyBoxes menu option of the  
eKEY application. (See Changing KeyBox settings on page 42 for

control KeyBox access by requiring the showing agent to call for  
preauthorization before opening the KeyBox. If the CBS code is  
active in a KeyBox, you must enter the CBS code into your PDA  
before accessing the KeyBox. Contact the listing agent to  
determine if a CBS code is required to open a KeyBox.  
To enter a CBS code into your PDA, do the following:

Access hours  
KeyBoxes can be programmed to allow 24-hour access or timed  
access for specific hours. To determine the timed access hours  
preprogrammed into your KeyBox, contact your association or  
MLS.  
Access hours are set at standard time. If your area observes  
daylight saving time from April through October, the actual  
access hours are one hour later than the hours set in the KeyBox.  
For example, if a KeyBox is programmed for access from 8 a.m.  
to 9 p.m. Standard Time, the actual access hours are 9 a.m. to 10  
p.m. during daylight saving time.  
You can program your KeyBoxes to allow timed access or  
24-hour access. In iBoxes, you can also change the timed access  
hours. Access hours are displayed under KeyBox settings in the

Cooperating systems  
Your PDA may be able to access KeyBoxes in a neighboring  
association/MLS. Check with your association/MLS to  
determine if your area has a cooperating agreement.  
In order to show listings in a cooperating area:  
your PDA must be programmed to access KeyBoxes in  
that area; and  
the cooperating association/MLS must give you  
permission to update your eKEY software for that area.  
Your primary association/MLS can program cooperating areas  
into your PDA. Once the programming has been added to your  
PDA, contact the cooperating association/MLS to receive  
permission to update your eKEY software in their system.  
If the cooperating system is networked, your eKEY software is  
updated automatically for both your primary system and the  
cooperating system when you perform an eSYNC. If you  
manually update your eKEY software, you must first update it for  
your primary association/MLS before updating it for cooperating  
areas.  
If the cooperating system is not networked, call the system’s KIM  
voice access once a month to obtain an update code for your  
eKEY software. The date your eKEY software expires in the  
cooperating system is printed on the back of your eKEY shell.  
You must be updated for the primary system before you can get  
an update code for the cooperating system.

ShowingValue is a web application included in KIM that  
provides you with several enhanced showing features. You can  
receive e-mails automatically when you’ve had a showing, create  
customized showing reports, and e-mail updates to agents who’ve  
shown your listings.  
ShowingValue also lets you send and receive showing feedback,  
add feedback about your listings for reporting to sellers, and have  
KIM remind you by e-mail to send feedback on properties you’ve  
shown.  
You must add your KeyBoxes to your inventory in order for  
showing activity to appear in ShowingValue. (See Adding  
KeyBoxes on page 40.) Once you’ve added your KeyBoxes, you  
will receive a message on your PDA after you eSYNC that  
indicates how many times your listings have been shown since  
your last eSYNC. You can then go to the KIM website and view  
your showing activity in ShowingValue.
