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 more information.) The CBS code allows the listing agent to 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:

1.Open the eKEY application. If you are entering a CBS code for an AEII KeyBox, place your PDA inside the eKEY shell.

2.Select ENTER CBS CODE from the eKEY menu.

3.Enter the 7-digit CBS code and select OK. If your PDA is inside the eKEY shell, press Enter on the shell.

Once your eKEY software is activated with the CBS code for a particular KeyBox, follow the standard procedure for releasing the key container. You can access the KeyBox until the listing agent changes the KeyBox settings or until you enter a CBS code for a different KeyBox.
