NOTE:  
The AL-PCI cable 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: Polarity MUST be observed when connecting cables to the lock. The tab (-) must plug into the negative (black) hole.
Scenario 4 Use the AL-IR1 Infrared printer to print your lock’s audit trail (event log), User Code list, clock settings and software

Scenario 2 Create the program in DL-Windows and transfer the program from your computer to an AL-DTM (via an AL-PCI cable)…
then transfer the program from the AL-DTM to the lock(s) (via a double-ended mini banana plug). The hand-held AL-DTM is useful 
because you do not have to transport (or find electricity for) your computer. Data can also flow in reverse, from the lock, through 
the AL-DTM, back to the computer for examination.
