DL-WINDOWS™ V4.0 USER'S GUIDE 21
There are several methods for sending data to (or receiving
data from) a lock. One method is Direct PC communication to
the lock and the other method is to use the AL-DTM-III (Data
Transfer Module).
When using a PC for communication, several options may be
used for sending and receiving data. The data transmission
may be segmented into User information, Schedules, Features
Group Status and Time/ Date or All segments may be sent at
one time. It is recommended that all data be sent at one time
as this is also how the AL-DTM-III functions.
When using the AL-DTM-III, one of three options may be
selected: "Send Program to Lock", "Receive Program From
Lock" and "Receive Log".
The following page includes instructions for the PC
communication method. Please refer to the AL-DTM III section
(see page 25) for AL-DTM-III communication instructions.
The wireless Networx
™
system allows the uploading and
downloading of programming features wirelessly using a
computer network. See OI352 for more information
The Master Code MUST be changed at the keypad for all
DL3000 / DL2800 locks before any other programming can
begin. Once the Master Code has been changed, Users may
be added to the lock and the PC-download function (Function
58) may be accessed. The DL3000 / DL2800 locks do not
support a PC-Download User Code (User Code 298 in all other
lock models).
Please note that the above only applies to the DL3000 /
DL2800 locks. All other lock models support the special
function User Code 298 and do not require the Master Code be
changed to access Program Mode (to access Program Mode,
please refer to the appropriate lock programming manual).
IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT THE DEFAULT MASTER CODE
BE CHANGED ON ALL LOCKS TO MAINTAIN SECURITY!
User 298
Entering the User 298 User Code eliminates the necessity of
entering a Master or Manager Code, entering Program Mode,
and inputting Function 58. Simply enter User 298’s User Code
to initiate PC communications with the lock. It is an option with
all the locks except the DL2800, DL3000 and the PL series
models.
User 299
Enter the User 299 User Code to initiate communication
between the AL-DTM-III and the lock. The User 299 code is
used only for the AL-DTM-III and will not allow passage at the
lock. This User does not require programming knowledge of
the locks or of DL-Windows; the User simply connects the AL-
DTM-III to the lock and enters the User 299 User Code at the
keypad.
Consult the specific lock programming manual to program User
Codes 298 and 299.
The "LockID" is a method of ensuring that the correct data is
communicated with the intended lock. Once the LockID is set,
an error message appears if information is accidentally sent or
received by the wrong lock.
Beginning with DL-Windows version 3.5 software, what was
previously named the "Door Number" is now referenced as the
"LockID". This name change was made to accommodate a
Door Number greater than 96. As a result, utilizing keypad
programming Function 59 at the lock keypad is no longer
supported by DL-Windows (version 3.5 or greater) and the new
version of the software must now be used to assign or change
the LockID. With this new system, a LockID number of 1
through 2000 is used.
When using a PC to communicate directly with the lock, the
LockID is sent to the lock when Send "All" data or Send
"Features" is selected. When "Send Program To Lock" is
selected as the AL-DTM-III function, the LockID will be sent.
(See following sections for explanations on these send
options).
