Summary:A network connectivity module may provide additional or alternative functionality to a lock that secures a securable container, such as a safe or automated teller machine. The module may be installed in a communication pathway between a keypad and the lock. The module may be programmed to communicate with a plurality of different locks manufactured by different manufacturers. The module may include a network input/output interface, which may provide a wired or wireless connection to one or more external networks, such as the Internet. The additional or alternative functionality may provide a new feature set for the lock that was not available at the time of purchase or installation of the lock. Additionally or alternatively, the connectivity to the external networks may enable remote access to the module, and may enable a remote user to enable or disable functionality of the module, and/or access to the securable container.
