3 DL-Windows Features Basic Functions When installed on an IBM compatible desktop or note- book computer, DL-Windows can provide the following functions: •Create a new Lock Program •Edit an existing Lock Program •Send a Lock Program to a lock •Receive a Lock Program from a lock •Retrieve an Audit Trail (Event Log records) from a lock •Configure an AL-DTM to transfer data to multiple locks •Read ProxCards ® using the ProxCard® Reader (AL- PRE) Features •Fully Integrated Help File Systems and Online Man- ual •Supports up to a 2000 User Database •Allows Viewing of 40,000 Event Audit Logs •Account and Database Utilities •Compact and Repair Database •Import / Export •Rename Accounts •Search Feature-to Quickly and Easily Find Us- ers Features for Version 3.5.X (Note: The X denotes any release of version 3.5). •LockID (see page 21). Door Numbers are now referred to as LockIDs, with Accounts in DL- Windows v3.5.X now able to accommodate up to a maximum of 2000 locks. Each LockID is unique to each lock, ensuring the validity of data and that each lock is matched to the correct data when pro- grammed. •Global Administrative Users (see page 30). A new Set Administrative Users button simplifies the organization of those special Users possessing a greater range of programming abilities. All Users designated as Administrative Users will be identi- cal for all locks within the Account. •Individual Group Assignments (see page 16) Group Support: A single user can be assigned to different Groups in different locks within an Ac- count •Creating and Cloning Multiple Locks (see page 15). Allows you to save time when creating a new lock. Cloning duplicates all schedules and Users programmed from an existing lock. You can clone up to 2000 locks of the same lock type. Note: All models can be cloned into all other models, with the following exceptions: DL2800 and DL3000 locks can only clone each other, and the DL3500 can only clone itself. New Features for Version 3.6.0 •Daylight Saving Time (see page 33-34). The manner in which Daylight Saving Time (DST) is observed varies with location, therefore the DST adjustment is fully flexible to accommodate these regional differences. CHANGES FROM PREVIOUS EDITION The following changes have been made to this manual (OI237H) since the previous edition (OI237G): •Added the ability to backup all Accounts into a single directory (accessed from the Tools menu) See page 46. •The Social Security field of the Global Users Screen is now a custom field, i.e. the field name is now assignable through the Options screen and al- lows a 15-character entry. See pages 16, 30 and 41. •User name sorting in the Global Users Screen has been added through a drop down above the Names grid. Multiple sorting options have been added in- cluding sorting on the custom field. See page 29. •The ability to add selected users to Groups and Lev- els has also been added. See page 16. •Added special Daylight Saving Time configuration settings for the DL/PDL1300 lock, located in the Pro- grammable Features screen, Options tab. (See pages 33-34). The following screens have been changed: •Global Users (see page 29) •Set Group Assignment (see page 16) •Set Level Assignment (see page 16) •Set Administrative Users (see page 30) •Features – DST (see pages 33-34) •Options (see page 41) •Tools menu (see page 10 and 46)
4 DL3000 / DL2800 300 User Codes, 150 Schedules, 1600 Audit Trail Events. Refer to OI224 for more information on DL3000 features. DL-Windows also supports the similar DL2800, which supports 200 Users. DL3500 / ETDL / ETPDL DL3500: 300 User Codes, 500 Schedules, 40,000 Audit Trail events. Refer to WI1005 for more information on DL3500 features. ETDL: 2000 User Codes, 500 Schedules, 40,000 Audit Trail Events. ETPDL adds Prox capability PDL3000 / PDL3500 / PDL3300 2000 User Codes/ProxCards® or ProxKey® keyfobs, 500 Schedules, 40,000 Audit Trail Events. Refer to WI1021 for more information on features. DL-Windows also supports the similar PDL3500 mortise lock and PDL3300 Door Ajar lock with Prox capability. Infrared Printer (AL-IR1) An AL-IR1 printer is used to print Audit Trails and User Code lists (where used) without the need for a PC. Its infrared reader means no cable connection to the lock is needed. Prox Card Reader/Enroller (AL-PRE) An AL-PRE is used to quickly enroll multiple ProxCards ® and ProxKey® keyfobs into DL- Windows. Use the supplied 9-pin DB9 to DB9 serial cable to connect the AL-PRE to your com- puter’s serial COM port. Compatible with most HID ProxCards ® and ProxKey® keyfobs (37 bits or less). For PDL series locks only. ProxCard® / ProxKey® Keyfob Compatible with most HID ProxCards® and ProxKey® keyfobs (26-37 bits). Note: ProxCard® and ProxKey® are trademarks of the HID© Corporation. HID HID CORPORATION Double-ended Mini Banana Plug Connector (supplied) After you create the program in DL-Windows and transfer the program from your computer to an AL-DTM, transfer the program from the AL-DTM to the lock(s) via a double-ended mini banana plug. You can also use this cable to transfer the Lock Program from your lock to an AL-PRE. DB9 to DB9 Serial Cable (supplied) Enroll ProxCards quickly into DL-Windows, then transfer this new ProxCard® data from the computer to the AL-PRE via this 9-pin DB9 to DB9 serial cable. Once the data is in the AL-PRE, you can transfer the data to the lock via the double-ended mini banana plug (see above), thus avoiding the need to use an AL-PCI2 cable for this process. AL-PCI2 Cable An ALARM LOCK AL-PCI2 cable is required to communicate between your computer’s RS-232 serial commu- nications port (COM 1-4) and the AL-DTM or lock. One end of the AL-PCI2 cable is designed to be plugged into a DB-9 male 9-pin serial COM port. If your computer has a 25-pin COM port only, a 25-pin to 9-pin adapter must be used. The other end of the AL-PCI2 cable features a 2-pin banana plug connector which is polarity sensitive--the TAB (marked “GND”) side must be plugged into the lock’s black (left) terminal. DK3000 / PDK3000 Relay-only locking device, 2000 Users, 500 schedules, 40,000 Audit Trail events. The PDK3000 adds Prox capability. DL / PDL4100 (Privacy) DL / PDL4500 (Residency) The Residency feature is specially designed to prevent unintentional lock-out, and the Privacy feature is designed to deny access to other users after an individual enters. Refer to WI1194 and WI1195 for more information. All supported locks: •DL1200 •DL1300 •DL2800 •DL3000 •DL3200 •DL3500 •DL4100 •DL4500 •DK3000 •ETDL •PL3000 •PDL1300 •PDL3000 •PDL3300 •PDL3500 •PDL4100 •PDL4500 •PDK3000 •ETPDL Data Transfer Module (AL-DTM) The AL-DTM allows the transfer of Lock Programs and other data between DL-Windows and locks. See page 45 for detailed AL-DTM specifications and feature descriptions. Note: For DL-Windows versions 3.5 or higher, the AL-DTM-III must be used, but will be referred to as simply the AL-DTM in this manual. Supported Products
5 NOTE: The AL-PCI2 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 version. No cable required. Scenario 1 Create the program in DL-Windows on your computer, then transfer the program from the computer directly to the lock via an AL-PCI2 cable. Enter the User 298 User Code to send or receive data to of from DL-Windows. When no COM port exists, use a USB to RS-232 cable.

6 Overview Why Use Software Inside a Lock? With ordinary door locks, the need to make physical copies of metal keys and distributing them can be a huge organizational and financial task -- and what will you do if someone causes a security breach by losing their key? The answer lies in the advantage of software. Software (also called firmware) is not hard or fixed like hardware is. Software is flexible and changeable to your needs. Soft- ware exists inside your Alarm Lock™ series lock, and can be programmed (and re-programmed again and again) to suit your changing requirements. No more metal keys to distribute...instead, distribute User Codes -- and delete them from the software when needed. (A User Code is the software equivalent of a metal key--it is a series of numbers the User presses into the lock keypad keys to unlock the lock). (Note: The PL3000 does not have a keypad---see WI1280). Preparing to Program your Lock There are two ways to make changes to the software inside your lock--either by using the lock keypad or by using DL-Windows. Although using DL-Windows makes programming faster and easier, we recommend you familiarize yourself with the general concepts of keypad programming as well. The first step to programming your lock without DL-Windows requires that you enter something called Program Mode. What is Program Mode? The software inside the lock has only two modes--Normal Mode and Program Mode. When you want to make changes to the lock program, you enter Program Mode. When you finish programming and wish to put the lock into use, you exit Program Mode to enter Normal Mode. Use the keypad to enter Program Mode by pressing the Master Code of the lock that was set at the factory (see the Program- ming Instructions of the individual lock for more information). The Master Code is like a secret password that allows you to enter Program Mode. But since all locks are identical and leave the factory with the same Master Code, the factory Master Code is not very secret and should be changed to your own personal Master Code. This way, only YOU can enter Program Mode and make changes to the lock programming. With most locks, changes to the lock are organized by their Function Number. Want to change the date inside the lock? Use Function Number 38. Want to add a User Code? Use Function Number 2. With DL-Windows, you first use the various DL-Windows computer screens to make the programming selections, then later you send the programming selections from your computer to the locks memory. You do this by clicking the Comm button in DL-Windows and selecting Send to Lock (see image at right). You can also use DL- Windows to receive programming from a lock, allowing you to observe the lock programming inside DL- Windows. Because your lock can be programmed using DL-Windows, and then using the keypad, DL- Windows will detect changes made by the keypad, and will alert you to these discrepancies in a screen named Lock Differ- ences. See page 23 for more information. The Global Users Screen Perhaps the most significant part of DL-Windows is the Global Users screen and the concept of an Account. An Account can be thought of as simply a building in which Alarm Lock locks are installed. If there are 55 locks in this building, and one person needs access to all of those locked doors, it would be convenient to assign that person one User Code to remember, and to enter their name in the computer only once---rather than having to enter their name 55 times. The Global Users screen was developed for this very reason--to support the concept of an Account, allowing a User Name to be entered only once, and to allow you--the person in charge of the locks--to sit back and assign this User to all locks in an Account with just a few clicks of the computer mouse. Turn the page and learn the special terminology used with your lock, then use the Quick Start checklist on page 11 to help you get started. DL-Windows System Requirements This application has been tested and approved for an IBM-compatible P4 1.6 GHz computer with 256MB RAM and a minimum of 100MB of hard drive space running Microsoft Windows 98, 2000 or XP with one unused RS-232 Serial Communications port (COM 1-4) required. If a COM port is unavailable, please contact customer support for one of our USB adapters (PCI-USB or ALPCI2-U). Depending on your system de- mands, a slower PC may function properly but with significant user inter- face problems, including long intervals for the system to respond. Global Users Screen
7 DL-Windows DL-Windows is a computer program that allows you to program your ALARM LOCK T3 Security Lock. You do not need DL- Windows to program your lock, but it makes programming much faster and easier. W ith DL-Windows, you can quickly create Lock Programs (programs that make the lock perform its many functions) add multiple Users (who have access), add ProxCards ® and ProxKey® keyfobs, retrieve event logs, and create Schedules. The benefit of DL-Windows is that it allows you to set up all lock programming in advance (on your computer), and then send the information to the locks at your convenience. This Users Guide to DL-Windows will guide you through all aspects of the lock--from the software installation procedure through the creation of a Lock Program, from the transfer of lock programming to the viewing of lock event logs. ALARM LOCK makes a variety of computer interfaced microprocessor-based programmable keypad-entry and ProxCard ® security locks: DL3000, DL3500 and PDL Series Access Control Locks. DL Windows works with them all. Users A User is a person who is authorized to simply use or make certain programming changes to the lock. This User can be anyone--from a one-time visitor (who will almost certainly have no authority to make changes) to the owner of the building in which the lock is installed (who will probably wish to have total authority to make changes). Most PDL Series locks can hold up to 2000 Users in its programming memory, and each User possesses a pre-defined level of authority--a Programming Level--as to their ability to use or make changes to the lock. Lock Program A Lock Program contains the instructions that a lock uses to perform its various functions. You can use DL-Windows to create a Lock Program on your computer, and then transfer and store the Program in the circuitry contained inside the lock itself. The Lock Program is essentially a computer database file that maintains feature settings, schedules, audit trails, etc. Using DL Windows, Lock Programs can be created with default information, edited on your PC, and then sent to (and even received from) locks. The Lock Program consists of 4 areas: User Codes, Features, Time Zones, and Schedules, all defined below: User Codes Also called User Access Codes or PIN No. Codes, User Codes are numbers the User enters into the lock keypad to unlock the lock. Using DL-Windows, Users are matched with their own individual User Codes. The User Codes are part of the Lock Program, and the Lock Program is stored in the lock circuitry awaiting the Users to key in their User Codes. Features Your lock is designed to support several options and functions. Using the Programmable Features window, you can select the features you wish to activate, such as if the lock will automatically adjust for Daylight Saving Time in the spring and autumn, or if the lock sounder should be disabled or enabled. TimeZones Events (recorded lock activities) can be programmed to occur at certain times. It is these times (for example, “every Tuesday at 5PM”) that are referred to as TimeZones. You use the Schedule-TimeZone screen to create these TimeZones, and once created, you can link events to these TimeZones. Note: The Schedule- TimeZone screen is Global--when a new TimeZone is created, it can be used for all locks in an Account. For more information, see page 20. Schedules Your lock can be programmed to maintain a schedule in which certain events can occur automatically. For example, you can program the lock to allow Groups of Users (with their User Codes) access ONLY during specific business hours. With another example, you can program another lock to UNLOCK at 9am, LOCK at noon for lunch, UNLOCK at 1pm, and LOCK again at 5pm--every weekday. As you can see, many different combinations of Schedules can be created to suit the needs of the Users. First you create TimeZones (see above) with the Schedule-TimeZone screen. Next you create events and link them to your TimeZones (also with the Schedule-TimeZone screen). When finished, you can view your schedule in the Schedule View screen. Programming Levels The Programming Level defines the range of programming tasks a User is allowed to perform. For most locks, the higher the Level, the more programming tasks the User is allowed (with the Master allowing ALL tasks for all locks). Note: For the DL2800/DL3000 series locks, the Programming Levels are slightly different. See Set Level Assignment explanation on page 30 and also the DL2800/DL3000 programming manuals for more information. Note: Since the Programming Level is closely associated with the type of User and their abilities, a User who holds a certain Programming Level is sometimes referred to by their “User Type”. For example, some locks can hold up to 2000 Users in its programming memory, and each User is associated with a User Number (see definition of User Number on the next page) and therefore a specific Programming Level, as shown in the following list of Administrative Users: Master: Always associated with User Number 1. Is always enabled and can program all functions. (Abbreviated as Programming Level = M). Installer: Always associated with User Numbers 2 and 3. Can program all functions except changing the Master Code. (Abbreviated as Programming Level = 4). Manager: Always associated with User Numbers 4, 5, and 6. Can program all functions except functions relating to lock configuration. (Abbreviated as Programming Level = 3). Supervisor: Always associated with User Numbers 7, 8 and 9. Can only program functions relating to day to day operation. (Abbreviated as Programming Level = 2). Print Only Users: Always associated with User Numbers 10 & 11. Restricted to print event logs only. No other programming ability allowed. (Abbreviated as Programming Level = 1). Basic Users: Always associated with User Number 12 and higher (except 297-300). No programming ability allowed. Programming Levels are hierarchical--higher levels are allowed to do anything the levels below them can do. For example, if you are a Manager, you are allowed to do anything that Supervisors, Print- Only Users and Basic Users can do in addition to those tasks allowed for Managers (Level 3). (Not applicable to the DL2800/ DL3000). Terminology (continued)
8 Minimum Required Program Level This Programming Level abbreviation is the minimum programming level required to access the particular Function. (The higher the level number, the more programming tasks the User is allowed, with Master allowing all tasks). In this manual, Programming Levels are abbreviated as follows: M = Master, 4 = Installer, 3 = Manager, 2 = Supervisor, 1 = Print Only Users User Numbers (User Number = Location Number = User Location = Slot in Lock) User Numbers are used and are significant within each individual lock only. The User Number determines the Programming Level for each User. For example, many locks can hold up to 2000 Users in its programming memory. This memory can be thought of as simply a numbered list from 1 through 2000. Each entry in the list is represented by a User Number. Therefore, where a User is located in this list--their User Location--is a commonly used description of their User Number. Because of their similarities, a User Number, User Location and Location Number can be used interchangeably. In some DL-Windows screens, the word Slot is also used. Since User Numbers are fixed, knowing a User Number will specify the associated Programming Level, and will in turn indicate a User’s programming abilities. For example, User Number 1 is always the Master, who can perform all programming tasks. Programming Levels are hierarchical--higher levels are allowed to do anything the levels below them can do. For example, if you are User 2, you are allowed to do anything that Users 3 through 2000 can do. Some DL series locks can hold up to 300 Users in its memory, however, the definition of a User Number is the same for these locks as well. (Not applicable to the DL2800/DL3000). Groups With many lock applications, it is convenient for large numbers of similar Users to be grouped together. Placing Users into Groups (by assigning them specific User Numbers) allows large numbers of Users to be controlled all at once rather than individually--saving time and effort. Groups are controlled via schedules, and a typical example involves enabling or disabling a Group at a certain time. For example, if you wish to add a User to Group 1, assign this User a User Number between 51 and 100. Default Group associations (see the lock programming instructions for details) can be changed if needed to allow Groups larger than the default number. In addition, a single User can be assigned to different Groups in different locks within an Account. See page 16 for more information. Users 297-300 Many locks have Users assigned to User Numbers 297, 298, 299 and 300. These User Numbers have special abilities, as follows: User 297: Quick Enable User 300 User 297 possesses the unique ability to enable the User Code associated with User 300. User 297 does this by first entering their own User 297 User Code into the lock keypad. When User 300 subsequently enters their User 300 User Code, the lock allows access (for one time) and then the User 300 User Code becomes disabled. For example, you wish to allow one-time access to a temporary worker. Simply enter the User 297 User Code into the lock keypad. Later, when the temporary worker enters the User 300 User Code into the lock keypad, the User 300 User Code allows access (for one time only) and then becomes disabled. Later, if you wish to grant the temporary worker re-access, simply re-enter the User 297 User Code and the User 300 User Code will be re- enabled (again for one time only). Note: User 297 is not used with the DL2800/DL3000 locks, but Function 9 can be used with the DL2800/DL3000 locks as an alternative. User 298: Quick PC Access Code Entering the User Code for User 298 enables that User to send data to or from the lock. Therefore, User 298 can activate what is the equivalent of Function 58 in Program Mode (see the lock programming instructions for details), without the need to enter Program Mode nor the need to know the Master Code of the lock. An AL-PCI2 cable with a PC is required. NOTE: The User Code for User 298 is not an Access Code and is not used with the DL2800/DL3000 locks. User 299: AL-DTM Code This is the only User Code that will initiate data transfer with the AL-DTM--and without allowing the User to pass through the door (the User Code for User 299 is not an Access Code). An AL-PCI2 cable and an AL-DTM (first programmed by the computer via the DTM screen in DL-Windows) is required. User 300: Temporary Access Temporary access User Code enabled by User 297. For example, User Code 300 is sometimes used for guard tour duties. See User 297: Quick Enable User 300 above. Note: User 297 is not used with the DL2800/DL3000 locks, but Function 9 can be used with the DL2800/DL3000 locks as an alternative. Accounts Technically, an Account is a DL-Windows computer database file that allows you to organize and maintain multiple lock installations. But in practical terms, an Account is often named after the building or company location in which a lock or multiple locks have been installed. For example, the Account Name might be “Overbrook Hospital” and listed in that Account are the 4 locks you just installed on the 7th floor. In DL-Windows, Accounts can be created, edited, cloned and deleted. The benefit of an Account is that it allows you to add the name of a User ONCE and then assign that User to multiple locks within a building--rather than having to enter and re- enter the same User information again and again for each lock in your building. Enter the name of the User once in the Global Users screen, then sit back and assign that User to the locks you wish -- with just a click of the mouse. Global ID Numbers Note: The Global ID number can be hidden from view. See page 16 to show or hide the Global ID number. A Global ID is used within the DL-Windows Global Users screen and is Account specific--it remains constant within Accounts only. A Global ID is not related to User Numbers nor Programming Levels. The Global Users screen simply lists all potential Users within an Account (which can contain up to 2000 locks). DL-W indows keeps track of each Global User listed in the Global Users screen by use of the Global ID number, but its significance ends there--it acts as an internal designation only.
