GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The ALPCI2-U is an interface cable that allows high speed

communication between a PC running DL-Windows software

or an AL-PRE proximity card reader. Using the ALPCI2-U,

the PC can upload or download programming to/from the

lock, and upload event history.

SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

• IBM PC or compatible desktop or notebook computer with

233 MHz or faster processor.

• At least 10 Mb available on hard drive

• At least 64 MB of RAM memory

• Microsoft Windows 95, 98, NT4.0 or higher

• DL-Windows

• One unused RS-232 Serial Communications port (Com 1–

4), or USB Port (see NOTE 1).

OPERATION

For details regarding the use of the ALPCI2-U, refer to DL-

Windows User Guide OI237.

NOTE 2:

The ALPCI2-U is designed to be used on a 9 pin serial

Com Port. If your computer has a 25 pin Com Port, a

25 pin to 9 pin adapter must be used. Warning:

NOTE 1:

The ALPCI2-U is fully RS-232 compliant and will function prop-

erly with a computer that has an RS-232 compliant serial Com

Port. However, many new notebook computers do not provide

the proper RS-232 compatible Com Port voltage levels re-

quired by the ALPCI2-U. In these cases, the ALPCI2-U may

not function properly.

To test a serial Com Port for ALPCI2-U compatibility, attach the

ALPCI2-U to the Com Port and run the DL-Windows loop-back

test. If the loop-back test fails, the Com Port is most likely not

RS-232 complaint.

For new computers with non-RS232 compliant Com Ports, it is

recommended that the ALPCI2-U be connected to the com-

puter’s USB port using the supplied USB converter (MX1130)

from Alarm Lock Systems. The MX1130 has been fully tested

by Alarm Lock for use with the ALPCI2-U.
