Alarm Lock DLWindows v360 User Guide New

							21 
There are two 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 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.x 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 Function 59 
at the lock keypad is no longer supported by DL-Windows 
(version 3.5.x 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).

LockID Communication Overview  
						

							22 
Connect the AL-PCI2 cables DB-9 connector to a Serial Port at 
the rear of your PC (if your computer does not have an available 
Serial Port, a USB adapter is available – refer to Product Com-
munication Examples section in this manual).  Connect the 
other end of the AL-PCI2 cable to the lock, observing tab direc-
tion (tab to black socket).  The comm port setup is covered in 
the rear of this manual. 
 
1.   In DL-Windows, click the Comm button on the DL-Windows 
toolbar and select Send to Lock.   
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
2.     The Send to Lock dialog box appears: 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
3.   Start the communication at the lock keypad by either press-
ing the special function User 298 User Code at the keypad 
or by entering Program Mode and accessing Function 58, 
then click the Start button in DL-W indows.   
      Verifying Lock Type appears in the status window located 
at the lower left corner of the Send to Lock dialog box (see 
image below). 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
4.     The Model Type, Lock Firmware Version and LockID # will 
display on the screen.  Verify that this information is correct. 
5.   If “Communicating” is not displayed after Step 3 (as shown in 
the image below), then communications have failed.  Check 
the following: 
a.   COM Port Selection 
b.   Cable  Connections 
  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
6.  After the selected data transfer is complete, verify that the 
message Send To Lock Successful is displayed in the 
status window of the Send to Lock dialog box. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
      Deselecting Al l allows you to send any combination of avail-
able data, i.e. only User Codes and Schedules, Features, 
Update Group Status, Time and Date or in any combination. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
•All - Sends the complete program to the lock. 
•Users - Sends all User Information including User Enable/ 
Disable status, User Codes, Group Assignments, and 
Level Assignments (DL2800/ DL3000 only) 
•Schedule - Sends all schedules (see Schedule section for 
more details)  
•Features - Sends all features chosen in the Features 
screen (see Features section for more details) 
•Update Group Status - Updates the Enabled/ Disabled 
status of Groups 
•Time/ Date - Sends the PCs current time and date. 
 
Receiving data from the lock is equally as simple, as described 
in the following section. 
Sending Data directly to the Lock from the PC  
						

							23 
Receiving data from the lock is handled in a similar way as 
sending data to the lock.  You can selectively decide what you 
want to receive from the lock (i.e. User Data, Schedules, 
Features or the Event Log).  Use Receive from Lock to review 
changes to Users made at the lock. 
 As with the Send to Lock function, the Receive from Lock 
function is selected by clicking the Comm button on the DL-
Windows toolbar, and then clicking Receive from Lock.  The 
following dialog box appears: 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Uncheck Al l if you wish to select individual segments of the 
lock to be received.   
 
 
 
If any of the Users entered at the lock keypad were found to 
duplicate existing User Codes in DL-Windows, the following 
screen will appear detailing those User(s) affected:  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
DL-Windows will not allow duplicate User Codes.  Changes to 
these duplicate codes should first be made in DL-Windows and 
then sent to the lock. 
 
 
 
The appearance of the Lock Differences screen indicates that 
disparities were found between the information stored in DL-
Windows and the information found in the lock.   
 Two types of events can occur to cause the Lock Differences 
screen to appear. The first is if new Users are added to the 
lock.  The second is if changes to Users that exist in DL-
Windows are made at the lock.  When a Receive All or 
Receive Users is performed, DL-Windows will recognize 
these differences and display them in the following screen:  
  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
The differences can be User State (enabled / disabled), Prox 
Card information, User Code, Group Status and Level Status 
(DL2800/ DL3000 only).  The screen tells you that there are 
differences, and you must make the changes in DL-W indows if 
you want them to be permanent.  The columns in the Lock 
Differences screen are defined as follows: 
 User Status – The User Status column displays either 
Modified or Added.  
Modified - Indicates that certain User data already exists in 
DL-Windows, and this User data was changed at the lock.  
Because DL-Windows will not automatically receive and 
accept User changes made at the lock, if you wish to retain 
the data displayed in the Lock Differences screen you 
must manually enter this data into DL-Windows.   
 Added - Indicates that DL-Windows has updated its 
software to include this User data (for non-Admin Users 
only).  This User data did not previously exist in DL-
Windows and no conflicts existed with any other User data 
in DL-Windows.  Note:  All additions or changes made to 
Admin Users at the lock keypad will display as Modified, 
and will NOT be added to DL-W indows.  Changes made to 
Admin Users MUST always be made in DL-Windows. 
 State – Indicates the existence of conflicting information 
regarding the Enabled/ Disabled status of the User.  
 Prox Card (on P series lock models only) – Displays 
proximity card information. 
 PC Code – Displays the User Code in DL-Windows and 
indicates the conflict with the Lock Code (the Lock Code is 
the User Code added at the lock). 
 Lock Code – Displays the User Code added at the lock.  Group 1 to 4 – Displays the Group assignment(s) of the User 
at the lock compared with DL-Windows.  Added indicates that 
the User was added to the specified Group at the lock.  
Removed indicates that the User was assigned to the Group in 
DL-Windows, but was removed from the Group at the lock. 
 Level 1 to 4 (DL2800/ DL3000 only) – Displays Programming 
Levels for the User at the lock compared with DL-Windows.  
Added indicates that the User was added to the specified 
Programming Level at the lock.  Removed indicates that the 
User was assigned to the Programming Level in DL-Windows, 
but was removed from that Programming Level at the lock (see 
lock programming manual for User Level definitions). 
 
 
 
All schedule information received from the lock will be 
displayed in the Schedule View screen, and any pre-existing 
schedules in the Schedule View screen will be overwritten.  
See the Creating Schedules and TimeZones section for 
more information.

When receiving the Event Log from the lock into DL-Windows, 
the log can be viewed in the Event Log Viewer screen.  
Note:  By default only the last 50 events are received from the 
lock.  To receive more events, select the number of events in 
the Max. Event Log Length pull-down list (as shown in the 
image below).  W hen using a PC, the complete log (up to a 
maximum of 40,000 events) can be received. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
When Update Group Status is selected in the Receive From 
Lock dialog box, the Enabled/ Disabled status of the Groups is 
obtained and can be viewed in the Lock Data screen.  A 
checkbox will appear for Groups 1 to 4, and all Groups checked 
are Enabled.

Configuration Mode.  Note:  UNCONDITIONAL FLASH ERASE 
erases all lock information and configured settings in the AL-
DTM.  To reset the AL-DTM to its factory default settings, 
remove the battery, press and hold the green button for 10 
seconds, then replace the battery. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
7.     The unit may now be powered up with the new feature(s) 
enabled. 
 
 
 
Once AL-DTM is configured, it is ready for use.  If Door Select 
Mode was set to ON (in step 5 above), then the AL-DTM will 
power up in OPERATION MODE, which offers two choices:  SELECT 
and STD: 
 SELECT – If Select Mode is chosen (by pressing left button), you 
can choose between three modes: PC Comm Mode, Lock 
Mode, and Door Select Mode: 
 
•PC Comm Mode is used to transfer programming between 
the PC and the AL-DTM. 
•Lock Mode is used to transfer information between the AL-
DTM and the Locks.  The AL-DTM will automatically 
identify the LockID to which it is communicating. 
•Door Select Mode is used to transfer program and assign 
LockID numbers from DL-Windows. 
 STD (standard) – Standard Mode will automatically put AL-DTM 
in PC COMM MODE when communicating with DL-Windows 
and will put the AL-DTM in LOCK MODE when performing 
communications with the locks.  Standard Mode should be 
used for all subsequent communication after LockID has been 
assigned.   
 Note:  The AL-DTM will only allow the selection of a LockID for 
which it has valid data currently programmed.  Care must be taken 
to that ensure the correct data is being transferred to the correct 
lock. 
The AL-DTM may be configured for Foreign Language support 
and the Door Select feature (see below).  Warning:  Entering the 
following Configuration Mode will clear all data (lock information) 
from memory. 
 1.      Place  AL-DTM  into PC COMM 
MODE.  If not already in PC 
COMM MODE, press green 
button to enter this mode.   
 2.      Press  and HOLD both the left and green buttons on the AL-
DTM.  After several messages appear, release the buttons 
when the display reads: 
 
 
 
 
         When  the  display  reads  CONFIG. LANGUAGE, the AL-DTM 
has entered Configuration Mode.   
 
 
 
 
        Note:  Pressing the green button allows you to step through 
each configuration option in turn; after the last option, the list 
repeats (CONFIG. LANGUAGE re-appears). 
 3.     If you wish to configure the first option, Language, press and 
hold the green button (otherwise press and release the green 
button to skip to the next option shown in step 4). 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
         Set  the  language  (as  shown  above)  with  the  left  and  middle 
black buttons, then press the green button to select the 
language AND exit this option. 
 4.      The next option appears:  CONFIG. FOR DTM-III MODE.  For 
DL-Windows 3.5x and above, this mode MUST be set to ON.  
Therefore, enter this option by pressing and holding the green 
button.  The following screen appears: 
 
 
 
 
 
 
         As shown above, the default setting is ON.  Press the green 
button to both select DTM-III mode and exit this option.   
 5.      The  next  option  appears:   CONFIG. DOOR SELECT MODE.  
Enter this option by pressing and holding the green button.  
The following screen appears: 
 
 
 
 
 
        As shown above, the default setting of ON should be 
retained if LockID numbers have not yet been programmed 
and you wish to use the AL-DTM to assign a LockID number 
to existing locks, or if LockID numbers are to be changed.  
Otherwise set Door Select Mode to OFF.  Press the green 
button to select and exit this option.

Introduction 
When computers cannot be transported or when electrical power is 
not available, the hand-held AL-DTM device acts as a go-between--
it allows the transfer of lock data from the computer (through the AL-
DTM) and to the lock, or in reverse (from the lock through the AL-
DTM back to the computer).  An AL-PCI 2 cable is required when 
transferring from your PC to the AL-DTM.  A double-ended mini 
banana plug connector is used when transferring data from the AL-
DTM to the lock(s). 
 
Prior to DL-Windows v3.5, Door Numbers were used to ensure 
that each physical lock was correctly matched to its corresponding 
data when programmed.  With DL-Windows v3.5 or later, the 
concept of a Door Number has been discontinued in favor of a new 
system of LockIDs.  When communications take place between DL-
Windows and the lock(s), the LockIDs must match in order for the 
data transfer to take place.  If they do not match, communications 
will halt! 
 
DL-W indows must be used to assign LockIDs and this can be 
performed in two ways, either: 
 
•communicating directly with either Send All or Send 
Features, thus updating the locks with the new LockID 
system 
              --or--  
•with the AL-DTM, Send Program to Lock in the AL-DTMs 
Door Select Mode (see Configure the AL-DTM on page 25).   
 Door Select Mode should only be used when it is necessary to 
assign a LockID (usually first time programming of lock only).  
Thereafter, ANY AL-DTM communications should be performed in 
the Lock Mode of the AL-DTM.  This will ensure that the 
information is being communicated correctly between DL-Windows 
and the Lock(s). 
 
The AL-DTM displays the word Door and not LockID when 
referring to door numbers (in the AL- DTM, both words are 
equivalent). 
 
Be sure to make note of the EXISTING User 299 User Code.  You 
will need this code(s) later when transferring data from the AL-DTM 
to the lock(s).  (See page 8 for a definition of User 299) 
 
 
 
 
1.   Plug the AL-PCI2 cable into the correct COM port in your PC 
and plug the 2-pin banana plug connector into the AL-DTM, 
observing correct tab direction.   
 
2.   Open an Account in DL-Windows, and double-click on any lock 
inside the selected Account.  For each physical lock to be 
programmed there must also be a corresponding lock in DL-
Windows.   
 
3.     Click  the DTM button and the DTM Support screen opens.  In 
this screen, desired tasks must first be pre-programmed in the 
DTM Function column.  Therefore, for each lock that is to 
receive program data, click in the DTM Function column for the 
selected lock, click this arrow and the pull-down menu will 
display.  Select the Send Program to Lock function.   
 
 
Send Data from DL-Windows to the AL-DTM 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
      To send program to ALL locks available, right-click in the DTM 
Function column and click Change All to Send Program to 
Lock.   
 
 
 
 
 
      The AL-DTM also gives you the option of setting the date and 
time of the lock (using the PC time).  In the DTM Options box 
at the bottom of the screen, the Set Lock Clock is selected 
by default. 
 
4.    Transfer the Data Configuration to the AL-DTM.  W ith the 
AL-PCI2 cable correctly connected to the AL-DTM, click 
Program DTM for Selected Locks (in the DTM 3 Support 
screen).  The following window will display: 
 
 
 
 
      Press the green button on the AL-DTM to enter PC COMM 
MODE.  During data transfer to the AL-DTM, the following will 
display in the AL-DTM readout screen: 
 
 
 
 
      Following a successful data transfer to the AL-DTM, the AL-
DTM will emit several beeps (beeps are dependent on 
configuration Data) and display a Comm. Complete. 
message followed by a display of current memory block status. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
      The  AL-DTM, now  filled with data, is ready  to transfer the data 
to the selected locks.  The following messages will scroll back 
and forth on the AL-DTM.

Transferring Data from AL-DTM to Locks for the first time 
1.    Connect the AL-DTM to the Lock.  Connect the double-ended 
banana plug into the AL-DTM and into the lock that is to be 
programmed (observing proper tab direction).   
 
2.    The AL-DTM will display the LOCK MODE screen, press the 
green button to toggle through the following screens: 
 
3.   Toggle screens to display DOOR SELECT MODE, then select YES 
by pressing the left AL-DTM button. 
 
4.   The screen displays “Set Door TO=0001”.  The number 0001 
refers to the lock assigned LockID # 1 in DL-Windows.  If this is 
the first lock to be programmed, press the green button (SET).  
(To choose a different lock, the left AL-DTM button will toggle 
back through the list of locks and the middle button will toggle 
forward). 
 
5.   The screen displays “Ready, Door=xxxx” (xxxx = LockID).  
Press left button (GO) and the screen will then switch between: 
 
 
 
 
6.    Enter the User 299 User Code at the lock keypad.  The AL-
DTM briefly displays a message that it is Analyzing Lock – 
Please Standby and then displays the following: 
 
 
 
 
 
7.   Do not press any more buttons, and the AL-DTM will display the 
following:  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
      The Lock will continue to beep while in communication with the 
AL-DTM.  After programming is complete, the following will 
display: 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
8.    Program Additional Locks.  Repeat Steps for each lock to be 
programmed.  Make sure that each Lock is being assigned the

DL-Windows) so that both Master Codes match. 
 
 
 
 
After the initial programming of the locks with the AL-DTM, Door 
Select Mode is no longer required.  AL-DTM should now be used 
in Standard Mode (Lock Mode).  All changes can be 
communicated to and from the locks in this mode.

7.    Retrieve Additional Lock Logs by repeating Steps 4 through 
6 for each lock Log to be retrieved. 
 
8.    Reconnect the AL-DTM to the DL-Windows PC (using the 
AL-PCI2 cable) to retrieve the Event Logs from the AL-
DTM.  On the DTM Support screen, click Receive Data From 
the DTM for Selected Locks to receive the Event Logs stored 
in the AL-DTM. 
 
 
 
 
      The AL-DTM status window indicates successful 
communications. 
 
9.    View Logs Received From the AL-DTM.  Open the Event 
Log Viewer screen for each lock Log. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
The AL-DTM can be programmed to receive the program from the 
locks.  Receiving the program can be a useful tool to monitor addi-
tions or changes made at the lock as well as import locks into a 
new DL-Windows account. 
 
The procedure for receiving the program from the lock with the AL-
DTM is similar to receiving logs.  Click in the DTM Function col-
umn for the selected lock, click the down arrow and select the 
Receive Program Function in the pull-down menu.  Follow the 
same procedures in the section above to program the AL-DTM 
and retrieve data from the lock. 
 
Refer to Receiving Data from the Lock on page 23 for more infor-
mation.   After all lock programming has been completed, the AL-DTM can 
be easily re-configured to retrieve event logs.  
 
1.     In DTM Support screen click in the DTM Function column for 
the selected lock, click the down arrow and the pull-down menu 
will display.  Select the Receive Log Function.  
 
       Multiple locks can be programmed to receive logs by right click-
ing in the DTM Function column and select Change All to 
Receive Log. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
2.   Transfer the Configuration to the AL-DTM.  Connect AL-DT M 
to the DL-Windows PC (using the AL-PCI2 cable) then click 
Program DTM for Selected Locks to transfer the new 
configuration to the AL-DTM.   
 
 
 
       The following window will display: 
 
 
 
 
 
3.    Enter PC Comm mode.  On the AL-DTM, press the green 
button and the following will display on the AL-DTM:

One building may contain many locks.  To add the same User to each lock again and again can quickly become tedious.  The 
solution is the Global Users screen.  The Global Users screen allows you to enter a Users name and information ONCE, then 
quickly and easily add this User to any lock (up to 2000) in the Account, as well as designate the Users specific Location Number 
(within each lock) and User Code (Pin Number).  In short, the Global Users screen allows you to control the status of all Users 
inside an Account (usually a single building) as well as their individual Programming Levels for each lock located in the Account. 
 
 
Press the Global button to Access the Global Users screen. 
(Global) ID 
A Global ID is Account specific--it 
remains constant within Accounts 
only.  A Global ID is not
 related to 
User Numbers nor Programming 
Levels, but acts as an internal 
designation within the program 
only.  Note:  The Global ID can be 
hidden from view.  See note below. 
Pin No. 
Same as a User Code.   
Locks Listed by LockID 
These boxes labeled 1-2000 each repre-
sent individual locks in the Account.  User 
status is presented in one of 4 colors: 
Gray--Not assigned (no lock exists). 
White--User not yet added to lock pro-
gramming. 
Green--User added to lock programming 
and enabled. 
Red--User exists inside lock program-
ming, but is disabled.

signed to different Levels in differ-
ent locks within an Account.  
Note:  Applies to DL3000 and 
DL2800 locks only.   
 Level Assignments are prede-

NOTE:  The Global ID is a means of determining how many Users are listed within an Account.  This 
Global ID number is used by the program only and has no relationship to where the User is 
located within a particular lock.  The Global ID is not a User Number, and does not determine 
Programming Levels within locks.
