14 DL-WINDOWS™ V4.0 USER'S GUIDE
The DL-Windows software provides security and protection fea-
tures to restrict unauthorized persons from accessing your DL-
Windows program.
When starting DL-Windows, a user name and password are re-
quired to access the program. Creating user names requires a
User Type be selected, (either Operator or Administrator). This
User Type determines the range of tasks allowed within DL-
Windows. Creating authorized users should be the first step in
programming the DL-Windows software. Note: For Operators, all
administrative functions are grayed-out within both the Global Us-
ers screen and the Options screen. In addition, the functions
listed below are accessible by Administrators only:
1. Click Tools, Manage Users to open the Manage Users
screen.
2. In the Manage Users screen, click Action, Add User (or
press CTRL+A).
3. In the Add User dialog (shown below), type a User Name and
a Full Name in the fields provided (the User Name will appear
on the Log-On screen when starting DL-Windows).
4. Select the access level by checking either Operator or Ad-
ministrator in the User Type area. Users can be created but
disabled by simply un-checking Enable User.
5. Enter a password (at least 4 characters) in the Password field
and re-type the password in the Confirm field to verify.
6. When finished, click OK to save, or click Cancel to discard
your changes.
To edit existing users:
1. Either click Action, Edit User, press CTRL+ E, or double-click
the user to open the Edit User dialog.
2. All existing information can be edited, and when finished, click
OK to save or click Cancel to discard your changes.
To delete an existing user:
1. Click to highlight the user in the Manage Users screen.
2. Click Action, Delete User or press CTRL+ D.
3. A confirmation popup will appear.
4. Click Yes to confirm the deletion, and click No to retain the
user.
1. Click to highlight the user in the Manage Users screen, then
click Action, Set Password (or press CTRL+ P).
2. In the Change Password dialog, type the existing password in
the Old Password field, type a new password in the New
Password field and re-type the same new password in the
Confirm field.
3. Press Enter on your keyboard to accept the changes.
DL-Windows can utilize a Security Password to safeguard against
an unscrupulous person with knowledge of your AL-DTM or PC
download code. The Security Password prevents an unauthor-
ized user from reprogramming your installed locks with their own
copy of DL-Windows. Entering this password into DL-Windows
prior to initial programming of your locks copies the password to a
special area within the locks. The password never needs to be
entered again. Subsequent communication between DL-
Windows, the AL-DTM and your locks will automatically check for
this password. If a different copy of DL-Windows is used to pro-
gram your locks, the passwords will not match and no data trans-
fer will take place. Once this Security Password is stored within
your installed locks, the only way to change the Security Pass-
word is to erase all lock programming for each lock (re-loading the
factory default program) and then re-program each lock with a
new Security Password. When using the wireless Networx sys-
tem, see OI352.
The Security Password ensures that only your copy of DL-
Windows can communicate with your locks. The Security Pass-
word also makes certain that your copy of DL-Windows must be
used to program the AL-DTM in order for it to exchange informa-
tion with your locks.
If desired (but not recommended), the use of more than one copy
of DL-Windows is possible--provided that the same password is
entered in all copies of DL-Windows.
To program the Security Password:
1. Click Tools, Set Security Password.
2. Before entering any information, be sure to write down the
password to be used and save in a secure location. Once the
Security Password is entered into the program, it cannot be
retrieved.
3. In the Set Security Password dialog, type a unique 6-
character password in the New Password field.
4. Re-type the same password in the Confirm field.
5. Click OK to save, or click Cancel to discard your changes.
