About this Manual
This manual is intended to document the DL-Windows computer screens and features used to program non-wireless door
locks and devices. The word "lock" is a generic word used to indicate one of the many Alarm Lock locking devices available, including devices such as the DK series keypads that trigger other locking devices. The word "credential" is also a
generic word used to indicate a PIN number pressed into a lock keypad, or a proximity card or proximity keyfob. For information regarding the programming of the wireless Trilogy Networx™ system, where programming features can be sent
wirelessly using a computer network, see OI383.

your computer’s serial COM port. Compatible with
most HID ProxCards® and ProxKey® keyfobs (37 bits
or less). For PDL series proximity locks only.

AL-PCI2 Cable
The AL-PCI2 cable is required to communicate between your computer’s RS-232 serial communications port and the ALDTM3 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" must be plugged into the lock’s black left terminal). Note: The AL-PCI2 can be used with an MX1130 adapter (see next page). See "AL-PCI2 (USB)" below.

Double-ended Mini Banana Plug Connector
After you create your lock programming in DL-Windows and transfer the DL-Windows programming to an AL-DTM3, transfer the programming from the AL-DTM3 to your lock via a double-ended mini banana plug. You can also use this cable to
transfer the lock programming from your lock to an AL-PRE.

DB9 to DB9 Serial Cable
Enroll proximity credentials quickly into DL-Windows, then transfer this new proximity data from DL-Windows 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 Connector (see above), thus avoiding the need to use an AL-PCI2 cable for this process.

AL-PCI2 Cable (USB)
The AL-PCI2 (USB) cable is required to communicate between your computer’s USB communications port and the AL-DTM3
or lock. One end of the AL-PCI2 (USB) cable is plugged into a computer USB port, and the other end features a 2-pin banana
plug connector which is polarity sensitive (the TAB marked "GND" must be plugged into the lock’s black left terminal). Note:
All references to communications in this manual will refer to the AL-PCI2 (USB) cable, but if you do not have an AL-PCI2
(USB) cable, you can still use the older AL-PCI2 cable described above. Note: The AL-PCI2 (USB) will eventually replace
the older AL-PCI2 (see above), therefore the MX1130 adapter (see next page) will no longer be needed.

Te r m i n o l o g y
DL-Windows
DL-Windows is a computer program that allows you to program your
Alarm Lock security locking device. You do not need DL-Windows to
program your lock, but it makes programming much faster and
easier. With DL-Windows, you can quickly create Accounts and Lock
Profiles (software that makes the lock perform its many functions)
add multiple Users (who have access), add ProxCard® and ProxKey®
keyfob proximity credentials, retrieve Event Logs, and create
Schedules. DL-Windows allows you to easily set up all lock
programming in advance (on your computer), and then send the
programming information to the locks at your convenience.
This manual will guide you through all aspects of DL-Windows, from
the initial software installation procedure through the creation of a
Lock Profile, from the transfer of lock programming to the viewing of
lock Event Logs.
Alarm Lock makes a variety of computer interfaced microprocessorbased programmable keypad-entry and proximity card security locks:
DL, PL and PDL Series Access Control Locks. DL Windows works
with them all. See OI383 for more information regarding the wireless
Networx™ system, its supported locks and features.

DL-Windows Administrators and Operators
There are two types of people who can control DL-Windows:
"Administrators" and "Operators". Upon initial installation, DLWindows is controlled by a "default" Administrator. The Administrator
has full access and complete control over every feature within DLWindows and possesses the ability to add Operators as necessary.
Operators are Users who have limited access and limited
"Privileges" (abilities) within DL-Windows. Administrators select
those Privileges for each Operator as necessary (e.g. the ability to
add Lock Profiles to an Account). See DL-Windows Administrators
& Operators, "Setting Operator Privileges".

Accounts
An Account is an individual DL-Windows database file that
allows you to organize and maintain multiple lock installations.
In practical terms, an Account is often named after the building
or company location where a lock or multiple locks have been
physically installed. For example, the Account Name might be
"Hunterdon Hospital" and within that Account are the four door locks
you just installed on the 7th floor. In DL-Windows, Accounts can be
created, edited, cloned, protected and deleted. The benefit of an
Account is that it allows you to add the name of a User ONCE (in the
Global Users screen) and then assign that User to multiple locks
within the Account ("building"), rather than having to enter and reenter the same User information again and again for each lock.
Enter the User information once in the Global Users screen, then
enable that User in any "Lock Profile" within the Account, as needed.

Database
All of the Accounts in DL-Windows reside in what is called the
"database".
DL-Windows controls the security, integrity and
organization of Account data in its database, ensuring the data is
retrieved reliably and accurately. The database can be created either
in a single local installation ("Workstation" installation) or through a
network ("Server" installation) where multiple installations of DLWindows can share one database. See page 11 for information
about which type of installation will suit your requirements.

Lock Profile
Located within an Account, a Lock Profile contains the
instructions that a physical lock uses to perform its various
6

functions. Use DL-Windows to create the Lock Profile on your
computer, and then send the Lock Profile to the physical lock. A Lock
Profile is created for each individual physical lock, and maintains the
feature settings, User Codes (PINs), Schedules, logs (Audit Trails),
etc. As with Accounts, Lock Profiles can be created, edited, cloned,
"Linked" and deleted. See OI383 for "Linking" Lock Profiles to
wireless Networx locks.

PIN / User Code
PINs / User Codes, used interchangeably in this manual, are
numbers that are 3 to 6 digits in length, and are generally given to
each person who you wish to allow access through a door protected
by a physical Alarm Lock security locking device. It is the
responsibility of the Administrator or Operator (if privileged) to
generate User Codes within DL-Windows, and to distribute these
User Codes accordingly.

Users
Not to be confused with "DL-Windows Administrators and
Operators" (see above), Users are people that have their personal
information and a User Code (PIN) typed into the Global Users
screen. As required by the Administrator or Operator (if privileged),
these Users are then added (enabled within) desired Lock Profiles,
as necessary. For example, 348 people are employed within
Hunterdon Hospital, but only User Joe Smith (assigned a PIN number
373823) is allowed access through the Pharmacy Department door
lock.

Features
Your locking device is designed to support several options and
functions. Using the Features screen, 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.

Schedules
Your Alarm Lock locking device can be programmed to maintain a
"Schedule" in which certain "Events" (recorded lock activities) can
occur automatically on specified days and times. For example, you
can program a door lock to UNLOCK at 9 AM, LOCK at noon,
UNLOCK at 1 PM, and LOCK again at 5 PM, every weekday. As you
can see, many different combinations of Schedules can be created to
suit the needs of the Users. Using the Schedules screen, create
Time Zones (defining the days and times) and link them to Events
(lock actions such as "Unlock"). When finished, you can view your
Schedule in the Schedule View screen. Note: Full Schedules
(Time Zones and Events) may be shared between Lock Profiles
and even other Accounts by using the Save / Import feature. See
Time Zones, below.

Time Zones
Events (recorded lock activities) can be programmed to occur at
certain times. These times (for example, "every Tuesday at 5 PM")
are called "Time Zones". Use the Schedules screen to create these
Time Zones, then link Events to these Time Zones. Note: Time
Zones are Global to your Account, and are shared between all of
the Lock Profiles in the Account; Events are NOT shared between
Lock Profiles.

Programming Levels
The Programming Level defines the range of keypad programming
tasks a User (a person listed in the Global Users screen) is allowed
to perform. For most locks, the higher the Programming Level, the
more keypad programming tasks the User is allowed (with the Master
D L - W I N D OW S V e r s i o n 5 U s e r ' s G u i d e

Te r m i n o l o g y (cont'd)
allowing ALL tasks for all locks).
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 5000 Users in its
programming memory, and each User is associated with a User
Number (see definition of "User Number" below) 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 printing Event Logs only; no other programming
abilities 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). Note: The "Assign Levels" feature is only
applicable to the DL2800 and DL3000 lock models.

User Numbers
(User Number = Location Number = User Location = Slot in lock)
User Numbers are used and are significant within each individual lock
only. For example, many locks can hold up to 5000 Users in its
programming memory. This memory can be thought of as simply a
numbered list from 1 through 5000. Each numbered 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 the Global Users screen, the word "Slot" is also
used. Note: Refer to "Global Reference Numbers" (below) for
important distinctions. 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.

Global Reference Numbers
A Global Reference Number (column "Ref." in the Global Users
screen) is only used within the DL-Windows Global Users screen
and remains constant within Accounts only. A Global Reference
Number is not related to User Numbers nor to Programming Levels.
The Global Reference Number in the Global Users screen is simply
a numbered list of all potential Users within an Account.
DL-Windows keeps track of each "Global User" listed in the Global
Users screen by use of this Global Reference Number, but its
significance ends there, and acts as an internal software designation
only. Note: The Global Reference Number can be hidden from view.
See page 53 to show or hide the Global Reference Number.

D L - W I N D OW S V e r s i o n 5 U s e r ' s G u i d e

Groups
With many lock applications, it is convenient for large numbers of
similar Users to be grouped together. Placing Users into Groups
allows large numbers of Users to be controlled all at once rather than
individually, saving time and effort. Groups can be controlled via
Schedules, and a typical example involves enabling or disabling a
Group at a certain time. The User / Group association is typically
based on the User's department, or the shift to which the User is
assigned. If any User attempts to access the lock outside of the
Group's scheduled hours, the lock will deny entry. Note: A single
User can be assigned to a different Group within each Lock Profile in
an Account. See page 25 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
(PIN) 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 keypad program Function 9 can be used with the
DL2800 / DL3000 locks as an alternative (see the programming
instructions for details).
User 298: "PC Download" Code
Entering the User Code (PIN) assigned to User 298 allows that
particular User to enable communications between the lock and DLWindows. Therefore, User 298 can activate what is the equivalent
of keypad programming Function 58 in Program Mode (see the
programming instructions for details), without the need to enter
Program Mode nor the necessity of knowing the Master Code of the
lock. An AL-PCI cable is required. NOTE: The User Code for User
298 does not allow access through the secured door and is not used
with the DL2800 / DL3000 locks nor the Networx™ wireless locks or
devices. With the wireless Networx™ system, the User 298 code
can be used for "Guard Tour" duties (see OI383).
User 299: "DTM Download" Code
Entering the User Code (PIN) or proximity card assigned to User
299 allows that User to initiate communications between the ALDTM3 and DL-Windows. A Double-ended Mini Banana Plug
Connector and an AL-DTM3 is required. Note: The User Code for
User 299 does not allow access through the secured door and is not
used with the DL2800 / DL3000 locks or the Networx™ wireless
locks or devices. With the wireless Networx™ system, the User 299
code can be used for "Guard Tour" duties (see OI383).
User 300: "One Time Service" Code
User 300 is the "one time" User Code (PIN) enabled by User
Number 297. See "User 297: Quick Enable User 300" above.
User 300 can be enabled or disabled upon download using feature
"Enable User 300 on download" in the Options screen. Note:
This "One Time Service" code is not used with the DL2800 / DL3000
locks, but keypad program Function 9 can be used as an alternative
(see the programming instructions for details).

DL-Windows Software Installation
System Requirements
For optimal performance, the following minimum requirements are recommended:
•

Supported operating systems: Windows XP Service Pack 3, Windows 7, 32-Bit and 64-Bit Systems

•

Processor: 1GHz or faster minimum (2GHz or faster
is recommended)

•

RAM: 2GB or more is recommended

•

Hard Disk Space: 1GB or more is recommended

DL-Windows 5.1.1

Full Windows administrator rights are required for installing
and running DL-Windows. For Windows 7 users, remember to select "Run as Administrator" for installation as well
as operation of DL-Windows.
Be Patient: DL-Windows V5 requires both Microsoft®
SQL Server® 2008 Express and Microsoft® .NET Framework 4 (included on the installation disc). These components may require an extended period of time to install,
depending on the operating speed of your computer. Regardless of the installation type selected, if these components are not detected within your PC, they will install
automatically. Note: If "Workstation Installation" is selected, Microsoft® SQL Server® 2008 Express will not be
installed. See INSTALLATION TYPES for more information.

Before you begin
Although DL-Windows 5 can run simultaneously with older
versions of DL-Windows, it is recommended to upgrade
your database using the Upgrade Utility provided with the
DL-Windows installation (click Start > Programs > DLWindows 5 > Upgrade Utility). See UPGRADE / IMPORT UTILITY below for more information.
DL-Windows 5 does not require you to remove older versions of DL-Windows, however, to upgrade, the files must
be from version 4.1.96 or later; if your files are earlier than
version 4.1.96, contact Technical Support (see cover for
telephone number) for help with getting up to date. IMPORTANT: Due to improved DL-Windows management
capabilities, Administrator and Operator Privileges may
require re-configuring after upgrading from V4.1.96.

Installing DL-Windows
When the DL-Windows 5 installation disc is placed into
your disc drive and the setup.exe file autostarts, you must
choose to install the software as either a "Server Installation" or as a "Workstation Installation". Note: If
the .exe file does not autostart, then double-click the
setup.exe file located in the Setup folder in the installation
disc top directory.
An installation type must be selected (either a "Server Installation" or a "Workstation Installation"). This selection depends on how you wish to access your DL-Windows
Accounts residing in the database (either through a single
local installation or through a network). Each type is described below:
D L - W I N D OW S V e r s i o n 5 U s e r ' s G u i d e

• Server Installation: (Recommended) Use this type for
both stand-alone and network installations. Selecting
"Server" installs DL-Windows 5 just like previous versions, where DL-Windows and its database of accounts
are both installed on a single local PC or laptop. Also
select "Server Installation" if you wish to install DLWindows and its database on a network server, allowing
multiple DL-Windows instances to access this single database of accounts. "Server Installation" installs both
Microsoft® SQL Server® 2008 Express and DLWindows. Note: After the installation finishes, DLWindows must be set to "Server Mode" using the Database Configuration utility to allow Workstation access.
Important: If Microsoft® SQL Server® 2008 Express or
another version of Microsoft® SQL Server® already exists, Alarm lock's instance of Microsoft® SQL Server®
2008 Express will be installed.
• Workstation Installation:
As described above in
"Server Installation", DL-Windows 5 and its database of
Accounts can be installed on a server, allowing multiple
instances of DL-Windows to access this single database.
For each instance of DL-Windows wishing to access this
database on that server, select "Workstation Installation"; DL-Windows will be installed on their local PC and
must then be configured to allow access to that server
(see section DATABASE CONFIGURATION). IMPORTANT: "Workstation Installation" does not install Microsoft® SQL Server® 2008 Express, therefore a database will not be available on the installation PC. Use
this type of installation if you plan to utilize an existing
instance of SQL Server (use the Database Configuration utility to configure).
After your selection has been chosen, if MS Framework 4.0
is not detected, the installation of MS Framework will begin
automatically. Upon completion of the MS Framework 4.0
installation, it is likely you will need to restart your PC. After
the restart, if Server Installation was previously chosen,
your PC will be examined for Alarm Lock's instance of SQL
Server.
•

If Alarm Lock's instance of Microsoft® SQL Server®

2008 Express is not detected, SQL Server should
automatically begin its installation. Note: If SQL Server
does not automatically begin its installation, simply double-click the setup.exe file located in the Setup folder in
the installation disc top directory and re-select Server
Installation. Upon successful SQL Server installation,
the DL-Windows installer will automatically launch.
If Alarm Lock's instance of SQL Server IS detected
(or if Workstation Installation was previously chosen)
the DL-Windows 5 Setup Wizard will automatically
launch.

•

who have used previous versions of DL-Windows and
wish to upgrade and import your database, go to the
UPGRADE / IMPORT UTILITY section.
If the "Database Configuration" utility automatically
launched, it means that a Workstation Installation was
chosen, and therefore a database does not exist on the
installation PC (or if there was an issue detected with
SQL Server). Therefore, go to the next section,
"DATABASE CONFIGURATION".

DATABASE CONFIGURATION
Configuring as a Server
After the "Server Installation" completes, click Start >
Programs > DL-Windows 5 > Database Configuration.
The following screen appears:

Click Next and follow the on-screen instructions, as required. After the installation is complete, click Close and
launch DL-Windows 5.1 by double-clicking the desktop
icon (DL-Windows does not launch automatically).

Starting DL-Windows
If an SQL database is successfully
loaded, you will be prompted by the
standard DL-Windows login screen
(shown at right).
If a Workstation Installation was
chosen, and therefore a database
does not exist on the installation
PC (or if there was an issue detected with SQL Server), the
"Database Configuration" utility
will automatically launch. For more
information, see the "DATABASE
CONFIGURATION" section, below.

DL-Windows Login Screen

Installation is Finished!
By default, as shown in the above DL-Windows login
screen, the User Name is "Admin" and the Password
field is left blank intentionally. A password can be created
with the Manage Users screen (click Tools > Manage
Users). You can also add additional DL-Windows Users
("Administrators" and "Operators") with this screen if desired. See the section "DL-Windows Administrators &
Operators" for more information.

the above DL-Windows login screen, leave the Password field blank and just click OK to begin. For those

1. In the Database Configuration screen, PCs and servers on the network found to contain instances of SQL
Server will be listed in the Database Server Name
pull-down field. In most cases, Alarm Lock's instance
of SQL Server will be displayed by default (i.e. HunterdonPC\ALSQLEXPRESS). Note: If you are using a
VPN to access a remote database, the database server
name will not display in the pull-down field. You must
check the "Add Server IP\SQL Name" checkbox, and
type the IP address of the server (or PC) where the database is located, followed by a backslash and
"SQLEXPRESS" (or "ALSQLEXPRESS" for Alarm
Lock's instance of SQL Server). For non-SQL Express
users, this "\SQLEXPRESS" text is not required.
2. In the Authentication pull-down field, there are two
options: Windows Authentication or SQL Authentication; in most cases Windows Authentication will be
used (utilizing your Windows login credentials, thus the
User Name and Password fields are not selectable),
however if an instance of SQL Server already exists
and is detected, you may need to contact your IT professional for the SQL Authentication user name and
password. The Setup/Connect Server Database raD L - W I N D OW S V e r s i o n 5 U s e r ' s G u i d e

option, this option will completely delete your existing
DL-Windows database and create a new "empty" database.

3. In the screen that appears, check the "Use DLWindows in Server Mode" checkbox; a popup appears indicating that the credentials entered here will be
required for each workstation (as described in section
"Configuring as a Workstation" below). The User
Name is "AlarmLock" by default; type and confirm your
password, then click Next.

UPGRADE / IMPORT UTILITY
DL-Windows 5 requires all of your DL-Windows accounts
to be upgraded using a new Upgrade / Import Utility.
This Utility updates the accounts in your older DLWindows V4.1.96 database to version 5. Note: Accounts
already created in your DL-Windows 5 database will not
be affected by the use of this utility.
For database versions prior to V4.1.96, use the DLWindows Import Utility included within V4.1.96 first (called
the DL-Windows Import Utility V4.1.83), before using the
DL-Windows 5 Upgrade/Import Utility.
To open the Upgrade / Import Utility for version 5, click
Start > Programs > DL-Windows 5 > Upgrade Utility,
and the following dialog opens:

4. Click Finish to configure your new database.
Proceed to next section "Configuring as a Workstation"
to setup each Workstation PC that will use the above
Server's database.

Configuring as a Workstation
After the "Workstation Installation" completes, click Start >
Programs > DL-Windows 5 >Database Configuration.
a. In the Database Configuration screen, select the instance of SQL Server listed in the Database Server
Name pull-down field to which you wish to connect.
b. Type the required credentials used in step 3 of the
"Configuring as a Server" section above. Remember,
the default User Name is "AlarmLock". Click Next to
continue.
Note: If you opted to install DL-Windows as a Workstation due to an existing instance of SQL Server, the
User Name and Password associated with that instance of SQL Server must be entered.
c. Click Finish to complete the Workstation configuration
procedure. This Workstation will now utilize the database of the server selected in step a.

Database Configuration Options
(For Database Administrators Only) Note: These options
are disabled intentionally.
• Create New Database: This feature is not intended for
initial DL-Windows installations, nor for Workstations.
This option will completely delete your existing DLWindows database and create a new "empty" database.
• Create New Database and Import Data from Previous
Version: This option will be used for future versions of
DL-Windows to upgrade the database. Like the previous

Click the Browse button (see arrow in above image) and
browse for and select the "AcctList.adf" file usually found
in the following location:
•

C:\DL-Windows\AcctList.adf
Once the
"AcctList.adf" file
is selected, click
Update/Import.
Your accounts will
be updated individually and converted to the new
database format.
When finished, an
informational popup
appears (shown
below); click OK to close the popup, and the Update/
Import utility automatically closes. Your accounts have
now been converted and imported into the DL-Windows 5
database. Note: Future use of this utility will not affect
existing database files previously converted.

DL-Windows Administrators & Operators
People who use DL-Windows
There are two types of people who can control DL-Windows:
"Administrators" and "Operators". Upon initial installation,
DL-Windows will be controlled by a "default" Administrator.
This Administrator has full access and complete control
over every feature within DL-Windows and possesses the
ability to add Operators as necessary. Operators are people
who have limited access and limited "Privileges" within DLWindows. Administrators select those Privileges for each
Operator as necessary (e.g. the ability to add Lock Profiles
to an Account).

Change Administrator Default Password
As mentioned previously, the password for Administrators is
left blank intentionally. This section describes how to add a
password for the Administrator. Once entered, this password will be required to be typed every time DL-Windows is
launched, before entry into DL-Windows is permitted.
1. In DL-Windows, click Tools > Manage Users to open
the Manage Users screen.
2. In the Manage Users screen, click Edit.
3. In the Edit User dialog (shown below), type a Name
and a Full Name in the fields provided, if desired. For
example, the Name
("Joe Smith"), Full Name
("President").
Both
names will appear in the
Log-On screen when
starting DL-Windows.
4. Type a password (at
least 4 characters) in the
Password field and retype the password in the
Confirm field to verify.
5. When finished, click OK
to save, or click Cancel
to discard your changes.

Adding Administrators
DL-Windows allows for many Administrators, however as
mentioned earlier, Administrators have full access and complete control over every feature within DL-Windows. If you
would like to add people who possess limited access, see
below, "Adding Operators".
1. Click Tools > Manage Users to open the Manage Users screen.
2. In the Manage Users screen, click Add.
3. In the Add User dialog, type a Name and if desired
type a Full Name in the fields provided. See example
above.
4. In the Type area, click the Administrator radio button.
Note: The Enable check box is checked by default.
5. Type a password (at least 4 characters) in the Password field and re-type the same password in the Con14

firm field to verify.
6. When finished, click OK to save, or click Cancel to discard your changes.

Adding Operators
Operators are people who have limited access and limited
"Privileges" within DL-Windows. Administrators select those
Privileges for each Operator, as necessary (for example, the
ability to add Lock Profiles to an Account). If you would like
to add people with full access, see above, "Adding Administrators".
1. Click Tools > Manage Users to open the Manage Users screen.
2. In the Manage Users screen, click Add.
3. In the Add User dialog, type a Name and if desired type
a Full Name in the fields provided. See example above.

5. Type 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.

Changing Password for Operator
At any time, the password for an Operator can be changed
(only Administrators can perform this function). This password will be required to be typed by the Operator every time
DL-Windows is launched, before entry into DL-Windows is
permitted. Note: Operators are disallowed access to the
Manage Users screen.
1. Click Tools > Manage Users to open the Manage Users screen.
2. In the Manage Users screen, click to highlight the Operator you wish to edit, and click Edit.
3. In the Edit User dialog, change the Name and Full
Name in the fields provided, if desired.
4. In the Password field, type the existing password. If
correct, this will enable the New Password field (if not
known, the password cannot be changed.)
5. Type a new password in the New 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.

Enable / Disable
Administrators and Operators can temporarily be enabled or
disabled, as needed. Instead of "deleting" (permanently removing) them, you can easily "disable" them, as follows:
1. Click Tools > Manage Users to open the Manage Users screen.
2. In the Manage Users screen, click to highlight the person you wish to enable or disable, and click Edit.

that any Administrator can disable any other Administrator.

fined as follows:
•

Enable: Allows the Operator to "see" the account. If the
Operator is not enabled for the Account, the Account
would not be listed in the "Account List" area in the DLWindows "Main Screen".

•

Communicate: Allows Operator to communicate with
the physical locks using the Communication button on
the DL-Windows "Main Screen" toolbar (the Communication button is also located in the Lock Data screen).
In addition, the Operator may also perform AL-DTM3
Communications (programming the AL-DTM3 and/or
receive data from the AL-DTM3). If using a Networx
wireless lock, the Operator can communicate with the
wireless lock from the Wireless screen (see OI383).

•

GW Config: Allows the Operator to open the Gateway
Config screen, and all options within. Note: The Security Password for the Gateway must be previously set by
an Administrator to allow Operator access to this screen.

•

Add / Edit User: Allows the Operator to add, delete,
enable or disable Users listed in the Global Users
screen. Other Global Users screen Privileges include:
Allowing the Operator to add Users to (or remove Users
from) Groups (Assign Groups button); to set doublesided lock access (Double Sided Access button), and
to set Level assignments (Assign Levels button).

•

Set / View PIN: Allows Operator to edit and to view
PINs and proximity card information in the Global Users
screen. By default, Operators cannot view PINs nor
proximity card information.

•

Feature / Schedule: Allows Operator access and make
changes to the Schedule screen and Features screen
within the Account.

•

Add / Edit Lock: Allows the Operator to add, clone and
delete Lock Profiles in the Account. These Options are
located in the right-click menu within the "Account List"
area in the DL-Windows "Main Screen".

Deleting Administrators / Operators
Existing Administrators and Operators can be permanently removed, as follows:
1. Click Tools > Manage Users to open the Manage
Users screen.
2. In the Manage Users screen, click to highlight the person you wish to delete, and click Delete. A confirmation popup will appear.
3. Click Yes to confirm the deletion, and click No to retain
the selection.
Note: The last Administrator cannot be deleted; at
least one Administrator must always be enabled
within every DL-Windows installation.

Setting Operator Privileges
Within DL-Windows, Administrators have the ability to limit
and customize the abilities ("Privileges") of Operators.
By definition, Operators have limited access and limited
Privileges; Administrators can use the Set Operator Privilege screen to restrict or expand these Privileges. Even if
all Privileges are enabled for the Operator, they still cannot
set the Security Password, nor can they add new Operators, nor new Accounts. Note: Operators cannot access
the Manage Users screen, therefore Operators cannot set
the Privileges of other Operators.
By default, Operators cannot view any Accounts, unless an
Admin allows them to do so by enabling the Operator for a
specific Account. Note: Before an Administrator can set
Operator Privileges, one must first create an Operator.
See "Adding Operators" earlier in this section.

creating a new Lock Profile by duplicating all
information in the Lock Data screen of an existing
Lock Profile. Cloning duplicates all Schedules and
Users programmed in the existing Lock Profile (Users
previously added to the Lock Profile you wish to clone
are also added to the cloned Lock Profile). When
cloning, the Clone Lock Profile screen appears which
is very similar to the New Lock Profile screen shown
previously. In the Number of Locks to Create? field,
click the pull-down list to clone up to 2000 locks of the
same Lock Type (model). 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.

"Global Users" Screen - Field and Button Definitions
The most significant part of DL-Windows is the Global Users screen. The Global Users screen is used to enter all User
information and assign individual or multiple Users to specific Lock Profiles within each Account. From the Global Users
screen, close to 10,000 Users can be added to the User List, along with PINs, proximity cards or a combination of both. Use
this screen to set Administrative Users, assign Group associations and set various other User attributes. In addition, the
Global Users screen is used to determine which User(s) are enabled, disabled or intentionally excluded from each physical
lock.
Click the Global button to access the Global Users screen.

Sort
Use pull-down menu to
select various methods of
sorting User Names. The
default selection is the
"Classic Sort" method (by
Global Reference Number).
Other methods include sorting alphabetically, by the
Custom Field, and by the
First Name and Last Name.

PIN
Each User can have the same PIN number (User Code) for all locks in an Account. It is listed here for ease of viewing
(you can also add PIN numbers by typing
them directly into the PIN column). Administrators can hide this column by
clicking the Hide Pins button. When
hidden, this column is hidden in this
screen and also in the Lock Data screen.

User Information
This basic data
helps to customize
and ensure correct
identity. Includes
a duplicate PIN
field, described at
left.

Custom Field
Allows a customized field
of up to 15 characters.
This field is set in the
Options
screen and
once changed remains
identical for all Lock
Profiles in all Accounts.

Ref.
A "Global Reference Number" (abbreviated "Ref.") is not related
to User Numbers nor Programming
Levels, but acts as an internal designation within the DL-Windows software
only. Note: Use the Options screen
to hide or display this number.

Locks
These "boxes", labeled 1-2000, each represent
individual Lock Profiles in the Account. User
status is presented in one of 3 colors:
• White - User not yet added to lock programming.
• Green - User added to lock programming and
enabled.
• Red - User exists within lock programming,
but is disabled.

Card Data
Click Add Card to open the Card Enrolling dialog. Once a proximity credential is
successfully added, the fields will populate
with proximity parameters (e.g. Card
Code, Card Format Name and Facility
Code). Up to 9 characters may be typed
into the Card ID field, as desired. Click
Remove Card to delete all proximity data.
Note: AL-PRE will populate fields in this
area automatically.

Name
Full names appear in this column
when the First Name and Last Name
fields in this screen are populated.
Red Siren (icon)
Appears when User is an Emergency User (right-click name and
click "Allow User to Issue
Emergency Commands".
Yellow Card (icon)
Signifies User has proximity card
data added.

Search
As User Names start
to fill up, this utility
saves time. Pulldown allows
searches by Name,
Card Code, PIN, or
by using the ALPRE. As you type,
the User List hides
non-matching information.

Hide Pins /
Show Pins
Allows PIN
numbers to be
hidden or
displayed for
increased
security.

Assign Groups
Opens a new screen
to allow the assignment of the User to a
specific Group within
a Lock Profile. Also
allows a single user
to be assigned to
different Groups in
different Lock Profiles within an Account.

Assign Levels
Opens a new screen,
to allow the assignment
of the User to a specific
Level within a Lock
Profile. Also allows a
single user to be assigned to different
Levels in different Lock
Profiles within an Account. Note: Applies
to DL3000 and DL2800
locks only.

Comments
Allows text to be added for
each User, up to 256
characters.
Double Sided Access
Allows selected Users to be
granted access to either
side or both sides of a double-sided lock.

Administrative Users
Allows programming of
Administrative-type
Users such as the
Master Code, Managers, Supervisors, etc.
See page 29 for more
information.

Close
Click to save your
settings and exit the
screen.
Warning: This button
always remains active,
therefore pressing the
keyboard Enter key is
equivalent to clicking
this button. In addition,
clicking the "X" at the
top right will save all
changes made before
closing the screen.

"Ref"
The Global Reference Number is a means of determining how many Users are listed within an Account. This "Global
Reference Number" is used by the DL-Windows software only and has no relationship to "where" the User is located
within a particular lock (their User Number). The Global Reference Number is not a User Number, and does not determine Programming Levels within locks.

Random PIN Generation

Add User Information
As shown in the image below, type the first and last name
of a User in the User Information Fields, and enter the
remaining personal information as needed. Note that the
names entered in the First Name and Last Name fields
also appear in the User List. In addition, a Custom Field

The User List of the Global Users screen contains 100
empty slots by default; each User created occupies a single
slot within the User List. If you are creating more than 100
Users, additional slots can be added by right-clicking on the
User List and selecting "Add a Block of Empty Slots to
List". For more information, see page 28.

If a PIN is added to a Lock Profile without a First Name or
Last Name entered, "New User" will be substituted. See
next section for adding PINs.
Reminder: The Ref column in the User List shown in the
image above is used for identifying Users in this screen only
and is NOT associated with positions in the Lock Data
screen. For this reason, if displaying these numbers is
confusing, this column may be hidden using the Options
screen (see page 18 for more information).

Adding PINs
PINs (User Codes) can be added into the PIN field or
directly into the User List. PINs must be 3-6 digits in
length, using digits 0-9 only. Duplicate PINs cannot be
added within an Account. Also, PINs cannot be subsets of
existing PINs; for example, if 03822 already exists, adding
0382 will generate an error message below the PIN field as
shown in the image below:

Random PINs may be auto-generated for one or many
Users by using the right-click option (see "Global Users"
Screen - Right-Click Menu on page 27 for instructions).
(Note: To avoid User Number conflicts, it is recommended
to first assign specific PINs to Users before using this
feature).

Add Users to Locks
After using the Global Users screen to add User
Information and PIN numbers to the User List (and/or
proximity cards--see "Adding Proximity Cards" on page
20), the next step is to add selected Users in the User List
to the desired Lock Profiles. User(s) are added to Lock
Profiles by selecting only the User(s) you wish to add, then
double-clicking the desired Lock Profile "boxes" in the
Locks "grid".
The Locks "grid" displays Lock ID numbers and the Lock
Description for each Lock Profile. Each rectangular "box"
is color-coded to describe the state of the selected User
within the Lock Profile:
• Green = User added to the Lock Profile and
enabled
• Red = User added to the Lock Profile and disabled
• White = User NOT added to the Lock Profile
Double-click on a "box" in the grid to cycle through the
colors (from green to red to white and back to green) thus
adding, disabling or removing a User as needed. The
Locks grid can be used to add a User or multiple Users to
any Lock Profile in an Account. Note: Selected Users can
also be added / removed using the right-click menu, see
page 27 for instructions.

TIP

SELECTING A RANGE OF USERS

Multiple Users in the User List can be selected
by any of three methods:

1. CLICK & DRAG
Click to select the first User, hold down the mouse button
and drag the mouse arrow down the list. Be aware that
a maximum of 17 Users can be selected using this
method.
2. SHIFT KEY
Click to select the first User, press and hold the SHIFT

Adding Users to Other Accounts
This option allows you to create a User in any Account, and
then by using the right-click menu, add that User to any
other Account (or ALL other Accounts) in your existing DLWindows database. For more information, see "Add Users
to All Accounts" on page 27 and "Add Users to
Accounts" on page 28.

Adding Proximity Cards
IMPORTANT: Before entering data, we recommend you know
all of the attributes of the proximity credential (card and/or fob)
including the Card Type, Card Format Name, Card Code
(also called "badge number") and Facility Code, etc. Note:
As proximity credentials in the form of cards and fobs operate
in the same manner, word "card" and "fob" are therefore used
interchangeably in this
manual.

Card Code
The "serial" number or "pin" number for the credential
embedded within the card data parameters. Some proximity
cards and fobs may have this number embossed, hot stamped
or printed on the outside surface of the card. Note: Duplicate
Card Codes cannot be added within an Account.

Facility Code
The Facility Code (also known as a "site code") is a unique
number common to all of the cards in a particular set. The
Facility Code data provides additional code permutations,
reducing the risk of card duplication. Different organizations
(or building "facilities") can have card sets with the same Card
Code numbers, but since the Facility Code differs with each
card set, the cards are valid at only one organization.
Note: For other Card Type selections (e.g. "Smart Cards"),
other fields may be displayed and required for valid use.

In the Global Users screen,
in the Card Data area, click
the Add Card button. The
Card Enrolling dialog opens
(see image). The various
fields are as follows:

Data Entry Radio Button (13.56MHz) - Be aware that
these card types allow for various data entry formats
(Decimal, BCD or Hex), as needed. See example image
below:

Card Type

Prox Cards (125kHz readers) - The more commonly used
type of proximity credential type. Select for Alarm Lock
3000, 4000, 5000 and 6000 series models.
Smart Cards (13.56mHz readers) - Proximity credential
type for 7000, 8000 series Alarm Lock models. Commonly
used for iCLASS cards.
FIPS-201 - Proximity credential type for 7000, 8000 series
Alarm Lock models. Commonly used for FIPS-201 cards.
Card CSN - Proximity credential type for 7000, 8000
series Alarm Lock models. Commonly used for iCLASS 8
Byte cards.
Unknown (125kHz readers) - Select for Alarm Lock 3000,
4000, 5000 and 6000 series models. This uses the ALPRE Proximity Enroller to identify an unknown card. Note:
The attributes of the unknown card, although collected and
used by the system, are not displayed in the Card Data
field of the Global Users screen; the Card Format Name
will display as "Unknown". For more info with using the
AL-PRE, please see page 21.

Card Format Name
The Card Format Name represents the manufacturer and bit
length of the proximity card. Normally the manufacturer has
provided this information with the cards. Note: For each
selected Card Type, the available Card Format Name will
change accordingly.
•

User Defined - This selection is available for the Card
Type selections "Prox Cards" and "Smart Cards" only,
see next section for more information.

Enable AL-PRE
Check to enable this feature to allow the AL-PRE Proximity
Reader/Enroller to read card data and to transmit the data into
DL-Windows. The proximity format must be known before
using this feature; if not, a popup may appear informing you
the selection was incorrect. For more information about using
and setting up the AL-PRE, see page 21.

Sequential Add
When adding Proximity information with known Card
Numbers in a sequence, select the Sequential Add check
box. The first card added will display the Card Type, Card
Number and Facility specified, and each subsequent card will
contain the same data except the Card Number will be
incremented by 1. Sequential Add is supported when using
the AL-PRE or when entering card data manually.
After clicking OK to build the card data, a Card Quantity
dialog appears. Enter the
total number of cards you
wish to add sequentially,
then click OK.

Note: The cards will be added starting with the first User
selected when the Card Enrolling dialog was first opened.

Adding Proximity Cards and PINs
Card & PIN: Both Required
Considered to be a "high security" User, this single User
requires both a PIN to be entered into the keypad,
immediately followed by the presentation of a valid
proximity card before access to the secured door is
granted. Note: Only one slot is required in the User List
for this situation. The next image displays an example of a
single slot in the User List:

2. In the Global Users screen, click the desired User or the
empty slot, and click the Add Cards button. The Card
Enrolling dialog opens.

Card & PIN: Either Required

3. Select the proximity type from the Card Type pull-down
menu. If your Card Type is not listed or is unknown,
select the "Unknown" type.

AL-PRE Connections

Note: The attributes of an unknown card, although
collected and used by the system, will NOT be displayed
in the Card Data field of the Global Users screen (the
Card Format Name will display as "Unknown"). In
addition, if an incorrect Card Type is selected, a popup
will appear detailing the card format that was actually
found.
4. In the Card Enrolling dialog (shown above), check the
Enable AL-PRE checkbox (the unit may beep when this
occurs). Note: For "Unknown" card type, this checkbox
will be checked (enabled) automatically.
5. Place a proximity card in front of the AL-PRE area
labeled "Badge Target" until two quick beeps are heard,
and a small "Valid Read" message appears at the
bottom of the DL-Windows "Main Screen". The Card
Enrolling dialog closes and the Card Data fields in the
Global Users screen become populated, indicating the
card has been successfully enrolled for that User.

This is commonly used for situations where a single User
is to have the choice of entering either their PIN into the
keypad or by the presentation of a valid proximity card
before access to the secured door is granted. Note: Two
slots are required in the User List for this User. The next

Adding Proximity Cards (Advanced)
DL-Windows users can create their own proximity cards
based on user-defined proximity card data.
This section is not necessarily required when adding
standard proximity cards, but is provided for advanced
users who wish to define their own proximity format
parameters. To use this screen successfully it is assumed
you possess in-depth knowledge of the internal parameters
of proximity cards. Using this screen likely requires the
data sheet from the manufacturer or a deep understanding
of the functionality of each field required for the specific
card format. For example, parity bit attributes must be
thoroughly understood before populating these fields.

formats. Unlike pre-loaded formats, User defined formats
can be deleted as needed.

Format Button (13.56MHz)
When the Format button in the Card Enrolling dialog is
clicked for locks with 13.5mHz readers (7000 and 8000
series), the Card Formats dialog opens (shown below)
displaying the proximity card format parameters for
iCLASS / FIPS proximity cards (e.g. HID 26 bit H10301
cards). For these card formats, card data can be copied
and edited; see "Copy Button" below for instructions.

Format Button (125kHz)
When the Format button in the Card Enrolling dialog is
clicked, the Card Formats dialog opens displaying the
proximity card format
parameters for various
manufacturer's pre-loaded
proximity cards (such as
CNT36 bit cards). For
these pre-loaded card
format data, the fields
cannot be edited, as the
parameters are displayed
for reference only.
User Defined Card Format (125kHz)
Open the Card Enrolling dialog and proceed as follows: In
the Card Type pull-down menu, select Prox Cards and
click the Format button. In the Card Formats dialog that
opens, as with the various manufacturer's pre-loaded
proximity cards, the fields are initially inactive. However,
the Copy button is available so that you can create and
enter your own custom card format parameters. Note: Not
all parameters are required for every card format.
Note: The Format Number is a field can be edited at your
discretion but we recommend not to change it, as it is an
internally designated number within DL-Windows.

The above Card Formats screen is used to enter the
characteristics of the iCLASS data format definitions.
Before using this Card Formats screen, it is assumed
that you have an advanced level of knowledge regarding
the data structure of iCLASS branded smart cards, and
have been issued an iCLASS format data definition
statement from HID Global. For more information, visit
www.hidglobal.com.

Use this button for situations where you possess similar
card format parameters, and wish to use most of them,
while making minor changes. Note: The Card Format
Name can be edited for your reference; if not edited, one
will be assigned automatically.
The Copy button is also used for situations where you
would like to enable certain features, such as Match Card

Match Card Code Only: Card Formats with this option
selected will force programmed locks to ignore all other
card parameters (e.g. Facility Code, Agency Code)
and verify only the Card Code upon attempted access /
presentation.

•

Match Facility Code Only: Card Formats with this
option selected will force programmed locks to ignore all
other card parameters (e.g. Card Code, Agency Code)
and verify only the Facility Code upon attempted
access / presentation. WARNING: When checked, this
is considered to be a VERY low security feature, as
many different cards often may share the same Facility
Code, and therefore the physical lock would then be
unable to distinguish between multiple card holders.

User Defined Card Format (13.56MHz)
Open the Card Enrolling dialog and proceed as follows: In
the Card Type pull-down menu, select Smart Cards.
Then, in the Card Format Name pull-down menu, select
User Defined_Smart and click the Format button.

In the Card Formats dialog that opens, as with the various
proximity card format parameters for iCLASS / FIPS cards,
the fields are initially inactive. However, the Edit button is
available so that you can create and enter your own custom
card format parameters. Be aware that FIPS card formats
do not have the User Defined option; therefore use the
Copy button instead for creating custom FIPS formats.
Note: All fields that are set with card format parameters will
cause the reader to then verify the validity of each parameter
entered. Not all parameters are required for every card
format.
Note: The Format Number is a field that can be edited at
your discretion but we recommend it not be changed, as it
is an internally designated number within DL-Windows.

Removing / Deleting / Disabling Users (Global Users Screen)
In the Global Users screen, one or multiple Users
previously added to the User List can later be selected and
"Removed", "Deleted" or "Disabled" as follows:

"Removing" (Deactivating) Users
In the Global Users screen, "Remove" is used to describe a
User that continues to occupy a slot in the User List, but is
"deactivated". The colored "box" in the Locks area of the
Global Users screen is colored white, indicating the User's
PIN number and/or proximity credential that was once
"added" is now "removed" from the Lock Profile (removed
from the physical lock's database), and therefore denying
the User access through the protected door. Note: The
word "Unassigned" is also used interchangeably with the
word "Removed" throughout DL-Windows. Removing Users
can be accomplished in either of two ways:
In the Global Users screen, select desired User(s), then
double-click on the desired colored "box" (Lock Profile)
in the Locks area until the box color cycles back to
white. White indicates the User has be "removed" from
the selected Lock Profile.
--or-• In the Global Users screen, select desired User(s), then
right-click the User(s) and select "Remove Users from
All Locks" (all "boxes" [Lock Profiles] in the Locks area
in the Account will be colored white, thus deactivating
the selected Users). Alternatively, the other selection
"Remove Users from Locks" can be used (selected
"boxes" [Lock Profiles] in the Locks area will be colored
white, thus deactivating the selected Users). The color
codes for each rectangular "box" are as follows:
•

• White = User NOT added to the Lock Profile
• Green = User added to the Lock Profile and enabled
• Red = User added to the Lock Profile and disabled
Removing Proximity Cards from Locks
See "Deleting Cards" below for complete information.

Deleting Users
In the Global Users screen, "Delete" is used to describe a
User that was completely erased from the User List (and
therefore from the Account database). PIN and/or proximity
credential information can be erased as desired. Proceed
as follows:
•

Right-click on the desired User(s) and click "Delete
Users". Click OK to the popup warning, and Users will
be completely erased from the User List (and therefore
the Account database). For more information, see right
click menu selections on page 27.

Deleting PINs from Locks
This can be accomplished in one of two ways:
•

--or-• Right-click the desired User(s) and click either "Delete
PINs" (PIN is completely erased from the User List and
therefore from the Account database) or "Delete All
PINs" (ALL PINs that exist in the User List will be
completely erased, and therefore completely erased
from the Account database). For more information, see
page 27.
Deleting Proximity Cards from Locks
This can be accomplished in one of two ways:
• Select desired proximity card User(s), then click the
Remove Card button in the Card Data area. Click OK
to the popup warning, and proximity card data will be
completely erased from the User List (and therefore the
Account database) for the selected User(s).
--or-• Right-click the desired User(s) and click either "Delete
Card" (proximity card data is completely erased from the
User List and therefore from the Account database) or
"Delete All Cards" (ALL proximity card data that exists
in the User List will be completely erased, and therefore
completely erased from the Account database). For
more information, see page 27.
Deleting Users from Other Accounts
This option allows you to select an existing User in the
User List, and then by using the right-click menu, delete
that selected User from any other Account (or ALL other
Accounts) existing in your DL-Windows in your database.
For more information, see page 28.

Disabling Users
In the Global Users screen, "Disable" is used to describe a
User that continues to occupy a slot in the User List, but is
intentionally "turned off" (the colored "box" in the Locks area
of the Global Users screen is colored red, indicating the
User is "disabled"). Although the PIN number and/or
proximity credential exist in DL-Windows and also within the
physical lock's database, upon attempted access to the
physical lock, the lock will respond with a specific indication
that the User is disabled and will not be granted access
through the protected door. A common use for "disabling" a
User is to purposely send the User (or Users) to the lock as
"disabled", then later have a Schedule automatically enable
the User at a specified time.
This can be accomplished as follows:
•

Select desired User(s), then double-click on desired
colored "box" (Lock Profile) in the Locks area (green
indicates "added") until the color cycles to red (indicating
User is "disabled" in the Lock Profile). Note: Users can
be disabled via scheduled events, see page 34 for a lit
of Event Types.

The contents of the PIN field in the User List (or the PIN
field in the User Information area) can be manually
erased using the keyboard Backspace key.

Assign Users: Groups / Levels / Double Sided Access
Groups Overview
With many lock applications, it is convenient for large numbers
of similar Users to be grouped together. Placing Users into
Groups allows large numbers of Users to be controlled all at
once --rather than individually-- saving time and effort. Groups
can be controlled via Schedules, and a typical example
involves enabling or disabling a Group at a certain time. In
addition, a single User can be assigned to different Groups
in different Lock Profiles within an Account. Groups may be
enabled or disabled from the Lock Data screen, as desired.
See page 30 for more information.

Assigning User(s) to Groups

for all locks). 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). See "Programming Levels" on pages 6-7 for more details.

Assigning Levels to User(s)

Double Sided Access Overview
DL5300, PDL5300 and NETWORXPANEL ("NETWX PNL")
models only
The above models are "double-sided" locks that allow
control over either side of the protected door. Since "inside"
or "outside" may not always apply, the words
"Primary" (usually the "outside") and "Secondary" (usually
the "inside" or "protected side" of the door) are used.
Users can be assigned to Primary, Secondary or both (by
default, Users are to assigned to "both" when added).
Note: For the NETWORXPANEL, Primary = "Door 1" and
Secondary = "Door 2".

Adding Users to the Administrative Users screen
The Administrative Users screen is used assign Users to the administrative positions for ALL Lock Profiles within a single
Account. The position of each Administrative User determines their Programming Levels and therefore defines the range of
keypad programming tasks a User is allowed to perform. Administrative Users are special in that they can perform
programming tasks that non-Administrative ("Basic") Users cannot perform (such as changing or adding new User Codes, etc.).
Some of these Administrative Users are allowed more tasks than others, and the distinction between Users and their allowed
tasks is known as a "Programming Level". (See the definition of "Programming Level" on page 6).
Click the Administrative Users button on the Global Users screen to Access the Administrative Users dialog.

Creating Time Zones and Events in the Schedule Screen
Schedules Overview
Schedules consist of two main parts: The Event (the action
the lock will perform) and the Time Zone (the time/day the
Event will occur).
It is important to conceptualize your complete Schedule first.
In other words, try to write a simple description of what you
want the lock to do, and when. For example:
"I want the lock on my office door to unlock at 9 AM and
re-lock when I leave my office at 5 PM. I want this to
happen every day I am at the office, Monday through
Friday."
The above sentence is a typical example of a Schedule; it
contains an Event ("unlock") and a Time Zone (Monday Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM).
Begin by creating the Time Zone.

Creating Time Zones
In the Time Zone area, select the day(s) and time(s) you
want the Events in your Schedule to occur.
1. Highlight / select the first day of the week your intended
scheduled Event will occur (selection highlighted in
blue). For example, click in the Monday row. Select
day of week ALL to utilize a 7-day Schedule.
2. For the day "row" selected, double-click the Start time
field. Use each pull-down to select the hour, minute
and AM/PM for your Start time accordingly (the time
your intended scheduled Event will begin). Pull down
fields may be cleared and edited manually; leave blank
for open-ended ("single-ended") schedules (see page
35 for more information).
3. For the day "row" selected, double-click the Stop time
field. Use each pull-down to select the hour, minute
and AM/PM for your Stop time accordingly (the time
your intended scheduled Event will end). Pull down
fields may be cleared and edited manually; leave blank
for open-ended ("single-ended") schedules (see page
35 for more information).
4. If necessary, set Month and Day of Month for your
intended scheduled Event. Leave default setting (All)
unless your schedule requires a specific month and/or
specific day.
5. In the Enable column, click to add a check to the check
box to enable that day for your intended scheduled
Event.
6. Repeat above steps for all days required in your
Schedule.
Note: When multiple Events occur on the same day
but at different times, multiple Times Zones are
required. Click Add in Time Zone area (top) and
repeat steps above to create additional Time Zones.

D L - W I N D OW S V e r s i o n 5 U s e r ' s G u i d e

IMPORTANT: Time Zones are "Global" to your Account,
and are shared between all of the Lock Profiles in the
Account. Events are NOT shared between Lock Profiles.
Full Schedules (Time Zones and Events) may be shared
between Lock Profiles and even other Accounts by using the
Save / Import feature.

Creating Events
In the Schedule Entry area, select Events and Users/
Groups (if required), then link to Time Zones.
1. For the first Event, in the Description field, type a brief
summary (40 characters maximum) describing the
Event (lock action) to occur.
2. If necessary, double-click the User/Group field, and
use the pull-down to select the User or Group
associated with your intended scheduled Event. Select
1-4 for enabling / disabling a Group; select 2-5000 for
enabling / disabling a User (depending on lock type).
Selection will determine Events available in the next
step (Event column). Note: For "Grp1-Open Window
Events", User/Group selection is not required.
3. Double-click the Event field and in the pull-down, select
the desired Event. Events available are determined by
the previous selection made in step 2, if any.
4. Double-click the Time Zone field and in the pull-down,
select the desired Time Zone to which your Event will
be linked.
5. Repeat steps 1-4 for other Events, if more Events are
required than are available, click the Add button located
in the Schedule Entry area.
Note: When adding data to the "User / Group",
"Event" and "Time Zone" columns, all three columns
must be completed at one time. A red box will surround
the Event "row" if the Event is incomplete.

Switch to Schedule View
Upon completion of Schedule programming, click the Switch
to Sched View button to verify the full details of your
Schedule. A popup appears, "Are you sure you want to
overwrite all the previous data?". Click Yes in the popup
and continue to the Schedule View screen to view all
Most Schedules are "double-ended", with
one end being the Start time (begins the
Event) and the other end the Stop time
(performs the opposite of the Start time Event). For
example, with an unlock Schedule from 9 AM to 5 PM,
the Start time begins the "unlock" Event, and remains
unlocked until the End time performs its opposite ("lock").
Notice that a second "lock" Event is NOT required.

Schedules...In More Detail
Single-Ended Schedules

Though most schedules are double-ended (containing both
Start and Stop times), single-ended Schedules that contain
a Start time only (or a Stop time only) may be required
("single-ended" may also be referred to as "open-ended").
Example
The use of a single-ended Schedule can be used to
safeguard a "Passage Mode by Group 1– Open Window"
Event. By using a single-ended lock Event, a "safeguard"
will be in place to ensure Passage Mode is disabled (locking
the device) at the same time every day.

The above screen displays an example of the "Passage
Mode by Group 1–Open Window" as shown from the
Schedule View screen.
As defined earlier, Passage Mode by Group 1–Open
Window places the device into Passage Mode (unlocked
state) when a member of Group 1 enters their PIN (or other
valid credential). The Start time opens the timeframe
("window of opportunity") where the Group 1 member can
enter their PIN to enable Passage Mode. The Stop time
ends the timeframe (closes the "window").

Next, create new "safeguard" Event (set the Event to "Lock",
and set the Time Zone to "Time Zone 2").

The Schedule View screen should look similar to this:

Summary: As shown above in the Schedule View screen,
if the lock remains in Passage Mode at 5 PM, the device will
re-lock indefinitely.

Since the device will not exit Passage Mode automatically,
you must add a safeguard by adding single-ended lock
Event. To begin, first add a new Time Zone (e.g. "Time
Zone 2"), then clear the Stop times for the days the
Schedule will be triggered. Do this via right-click option or
by manually clearing the Stop time numerals.

Next, change all required Start times to a time that the
device must be locked ("safeguard" time). As shown below,
right click and select "Set All As Current Start" (all set to 5
PM):

Schedules...In More Detail (cont'd)
Holiday Schedule (Suppression)

Similar to single-ended schedules, a single Event may be
programmed for a holiday to suppress normal Schedule
activity.
Example
You are currently using a double-ended Schedule where,
Monday through Friday, your device unlocks every day at 7
AM and re-locks at 5:30 PM. Shown below is an example
of this unlock schedule in the Schedule View screen:

As most businesses close on Christmas day every year,
you must suppress the unlock Schedule by adding a single
"lock" Event for that day ("25") and that month
("December").
Note:
"Lock" Events always take
precedence over "unlock" Events, therefore when both are
programmed for the same time, the "unlock" Event will be
suppressed.
To begin, first add a new Time Zone (e.g. "Time Zone 2"),
then in the "All" row, check the Enable check box and also
be sure to clear its Stop time. Do this via right-click option
("Clear Stop Time") or by manually clearing the Stop time.

Next, create new Holiday suppression Event (set the Event
to "Lock", and set the Time Zone to "Time Zone 2").

The Schedule View screen should look similar to this:

Summary: As shown above in the Schedule View
screen, the normal unlock Schedule for 7 AM is
suppressed by the addition of the December 25th Lock
Event for 7 AM, thus the lock remains in locked every year
on that date, at that time. This type of Schedule can be
used for all types of holidays; however, for holidays where
the Day of the Month varies from year to year (such as
the American Thanksgiving holiday), this date MUST be
manually changed from year to year.

IMPORTANT: Start time MUST be the same as the Start
time of the Event you wish to suppress! In this example, 7
AM was the Start time, therefore, in Time Zone 2, 7 AM
must ALSO be the Start time.

Next, change Month pull-down to "December" and Day of
Month pull-down to "25".

used to override the lockout feature at any time.

The 4100 series locks leave the factory as "Privacy" locks, with the below "Privacy Mode" as the default program. If you wish, 4100 series
locks can be re-programmed as "Residency" locks (see below,
"Residency Mode").

Programming for Privacy Mode: As shown in the images above,
check "Disable Keypad / Prox on Button Press (or Deadbolt)"
and select a Privacy Duration (default is 10 minutes, valid entries
1-250). Note: If Privacy Mode is used in conjunction with an unlock
schedule (Passage Mode), check "Leave Unlocked on Exit
(Passage)" to return lock back to unlocked state after exit (this is
commonly used in bathrooms where you wish to have the door
remain unlocked until someone enters and presses the button
while inside to disable Passage Mode until they exit).

The 4500 series locks leave the factory as "Residency" locks, with the
below "Residency Mode" as the default program. If you wish, 4500
series locks can be re-programmed as "Privacy" locks (see below,
"Privacy Mode").
The following provides basic descriptions of the two modes. For more
information, see WI1194 and/or WI1195.
Note: The 4100 series locks have a button on the exterior / outside of
the lock housing, and the 4500 series locks have a deadbolt knob.
Privacy Mode (Factory Default for 4100 Series Locks):
"Privacy Mode" is designed to allow access to individuals with valid
credentials (proximity card or PIN) and is typically used for rooms
needing privacy from others such as bathrooms, dorms and meeting rooms.
"Privacy Mode" initially provides a normally locked state. To enter,
the user must enter a valid credential (proximity card or PIN). Once
inside, the user presses the button (on 4100 series) or throws a
deadbolt (on 4500 series) that disables the keypad (and/or proximity
card reader), disallowing others to enter for a fixed amount of time
("Privacy Duration"). The red LED on the exterior/outside of the lock
will blink--indicating the room is occupied. When the initial user exits
(inside handle depressed), the lock reverts back to its originally
locked mode, again allowing access to any authorized users.
The Privacy Duration for the 4100 series (or 4500 series) lock can
be programmed to disable valid credential access (proximity card or
PIN) for up to 250 minutes. When active, all User Numbers 12 and
higher (Basic Users) are disabled, and User Numbers 1 - 11 (Admin

Residency Mode (Factory Default for 4500 Series Locks):
The "Residency Feature" is provided to prevent a person from unintentionally having the door lock behind them when stepping outside
briefly. Typically used in retirement homes and college dormitories.
"Residency Mode" initially provides a normally locked state in which,
as usual, to enter from the outside the user must enter a valid credential (proximity card or PIN) or use a valid metal key. Once inside, and the door closes, the 4500 series lock will then re-lock as
usual. However, upon exiting, turning the inside handle will cause
the 4500 series lock to enter an unlocked state. This unlocked state
will continue indefinitely, and will only re-lock when one of the following occurs:
(1) the user returns, enters, and presses the button (or throws the
deadbolt) from the inside; (2) someone already inside the premises
presses the button (or throws the deadbolt); (3) pre-programmed
scheduling; (4) entering a valid User Code (PIN), presenting a valid
proximity credential, or locking with a key.
Programming for Residency Mode: As shown in the images

Communicating with Locks
Communication Overview

Getting Started

There are several methods for sending data to (or receiving
data from) a physical lock. One method is Direct PC
communication to the lock, and the other method is to use
the AL-DTM3 Data Transfer Module. Both methods require
an AL-PCI cable for communications. Note: The wireless
Networx™ system allows the uploading and downloading of
programming features wirelessly using a computer
network. See OI383 for more information

Begin by connecting the other end of the AL-PCI cable to
the lock, observing polarity. Warning: Polarity MUST be
observed when inserting the double-ended banana
plug; the tab (–) must plug into the left hole (black).

Before communication to a physical lock (or to an ALDTM3) can be initiated, a communication port (COM port)
in your computer must first be configured using DLWindows.

COM Port Setup
It is assumed you have already completed the AL-PCI
driver installation procedure (refer to the instructions
accompanied with your AL-PCI cable for assistance).

Sending Data to Lock
1. In the DL-Windows "Main Screen", click the
Communication button on the toolbar and select Send
to Lock.

Note: The Communication button on the Lock Data
screen may also be used.
2. The following dialog appears:

1. Insert the AL-PCI cable into a PC communication
port (in most cases an available USB port).
2. In the DL-Windows "Main Screen", click Tools >
COM Port Setup and Test. The Loopback Test
dialog opens listing all communication ports detected.
3. Select Test to initiate COM port Loopback Test. All
detected COM parts will be tested.
4. Select a COM Port that passed the Loopback test,
and click Set to close the dialog; your cable is ready
for communication.

If the Loopback Test did not pass ("No loopback data
found" is displayed next to the COM number) verify
the following:
•

Ensure the double-ended banana plug is NOT
connected to the lock or AL-DTM3. Cable cannot
be connected during the Loopback Test.

•

Confirm the AL-PCI driver installed completely and
is not awaiting a restart of your PC.

•

Check for a COM Port number conflict (with mouse
for example); try a different COM port if available.

•

If Loopback Test still fails, try restarting DLWindows and retry the COM port test.

D L - W I N D OW S V e r s i o n 5 U s e r ' s G u i d e

Any
combination
of available
data may
be sent to
your lock.

Select any combination of data to send to lock; A red
circle with red square will denote those selections made,
though it is recommended to check "All".
• All - Sends the complete program to the physical lock.
• Users - Sends all User Information including User
Enable/ Disable status, User Codes (PINs), proximity
data, 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(s) for more details)
• Update Group Status - Updates the Enabled/
Disabled status of Groups. See Lock Data section for
more details.
• Time/ Date - Sends the PCs current time and date.
3. Start the communication at the physical lock keypad by
either pressing the special function User 298 User Code
at the keypad or by entering Program Mode and
accessing Function 58 (Upload/Download PC Data
command). Once initiated, click the Start button in DLWindows. For more information about User 298, see
"Tip" below.

Communicating with Locks (cont'd)

Note: Conversely, the Start button in DL-Windows can
be pressed first, followed by the keypad initiation of
Upload / Download.
4. The Model Type and Lock Firmware Version will be
displayed on the screen. Real-time data packet transfer
information for each selection will also be shown (see
next image).
If communications do not initiate
("Communication timeout"), check the following:
•
•
•
•

COM port selection: Ensure the Loopback test is
passed
Cable connections: The physical cable connections
must be connected and secure
Polarity: (Described above)
Correct lock type: ("Expected lock type" not
found)

Receiving data from the lock is equally as simple, as
described in the following section.

USER 298:
"PC DOWNLOAD" CODE
Entering the User Code assigned to User
298 allows that particular User to enable
communications between the lock and DLWindows. Therefore, User 298 can activate
what is the equivalent of keypad programming
Function 58 in Program Mode (see the keypad
programming instructions for details), without the
need to enter Program Mode nor the necessity of
knowing the Master Code of the lock.
NOTE: The User Code for User 298 is not an
Access Code and is not used with the DL2800 /
DL3000 locks.

TIP

5. After data transfer has finished, verify all selected
options are displayed with a green checkmark and the
message "Communication completed".

Receiving Data From Lock
Receiving data from the physical lock is handled in a
similar way as sending data to the physical lock. You can
selectively decide what you want to receive from the lock
(i.e. User Data, Schedules, Features or the Event Log).
Use the feature, "Receive from Lock", to review data that
exists in the lock vs. the data that exists in DL-Windows.
As with the Send to Lock function, the Receive from Lock
function is selected by clicking the Communication button
on the DL-Windows toolbar, and then clicking Receive
from Lock. The following dialog box appears:

In most cases, you must manually make the changes in
DL-Windows if you want them to be permanent. The
columns in the Lock Differences screen are defined as
follows:
User No. - Number associated with the slot that contains
the disparity.
User Status – The User Status column displays either
Modified, Added or Empty:
•

To initiate communication with your lock, see page 43.

Lock Differences
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 physical
lock.

•

Three types of events can occur to cause the Lock
Differences screen to appear:
Event 1: For the same User Number, the credential
(PIN / proximity card) is different for what exists in the
physical lock compared to what exists in DL-Windows.
For example, User Number 22 PIN in the physical lock
is 5555, and User Number 22 PIN in DL-Windows is
4578.
Event 2: For the same User Number, the credential
(PIN / proximity card) exists in the physical lock but
does not exist in DL-Windows. For example, User
Number 22 PIN in the lock is 5555, and for User
Number 22 in DL-Windows, the PIN field is blank.
Event 3: For the same User Number, the credential
(PIN / proximity card) exists in DL-Windows but does
not exist in the physical lock. For example, User
Number 22 PIN in the physical lock is "empty", and
User Number 22 PIN in DL-Windows is 4578.
Keep the above Events in mind as you read the following
information.
Note: Disparities between Group associations and Level
associations will also display the Lock Differences screen.
When a "Receive All" or "Receive Users" is performed,
DL-Windows will recognize these "differences" and display
them in the following screen:
D L - W I N D OW S V e r s i o n 5 U s e r ' s G u i d e

•

Modified - Indicates that certain User data already
exists in DL-Windows, and this User data is different
in the physical lock. Note: Because DL-Windows will
not automatically receive and accept User changes
made at the physical lock, if you wish to retain the
data displayed in the Lock Differences screen, you
must MANUALLY enter this data into DL-Windows
(see above, "Event 1").
Added - Indicates that certain User data did not
previously exist in DL-Windows, yet was found in the
physical lock. DL-Windows will update accordingly to
include User Data differences ("non-Admin" Users
only; changes made to Administrative Users MUST
ALWAYS be made in DL-Windows). Note: This is
the only situation where the DL-Windows database
will be appended to reflect the differences (see above,
"Event 2").
Empty - Indicates that certain User data exists in DLWindows yet User data does not exist in the physical
lock (see above, "Event 3").

Enable – Indicates User Enable / Disable status from the
physical lock. When User is enabled at the physical lock,
the checkbox will be checked. When User is disabled at
the physical lock, the checkbox will be unchecked.
Prox Card – Displays proximity credential status.
Display is dependant on User Status (see above).

for that User Number.

Communicating with Locks (cont'd)
Lock Code – Displays the User Code (PIN) at the
physical lock for that User Number.
GP1 to GP4 – Indicates Group Assignment of the User
at the physical lock. When the User is assigned to a
particular Group (GP1, GP2, etc.), the checkbox will be
checked. When the User is not assigned to a particular
Group, the checkbox will be unchecked (when compared
to the DL-Windows database).
LVL1 to LVL4 - (DL2800 / DL3000 only) – Indicates the
Level Assignment of the User at the physical lock.
When the User is assigned to a particular Level (LVL1,
LVL2, etc.), the checkbox will be checked. When the
User is not assigned to a particular Level, the checkbox
will be unchecked (when compared to the DL-Windows
database).

Receive Event Log
Upon receiving the Event Log from the physical lock, the
Event Log screen will display after communication
completes. Note: By default, only the last 50 records are
received from the physical lock. To receive more records
in the log screen, select the number in the Max. Event Log
Length pull-down list (as shown in the image below). The
complete log (up to a maximum of 40,000 records) can be

Communicating with the AL-DTM3
Overview
The hand-held AL-DTM3 Data Transfer Module acts as an
intermediary between DL-Windows and the physical locking
device(s). The AL-DTM3 allows for the transfer of lock data
(Users, Schedules, etc.) from DL-Windows to your locking
device, or in reverse (from your locking device to DLWindows). An AL-PCI cable is required when transferring
from DL-Windows to the AL-DTM3; a Double-ended Mini
Banana Plug Connector (see page 4) is required for
transferring data from the AL-DTM3 to the locking device(s).
When communications take place between DL-Windows and
the lock(s), the Lock IDs must match in order for the data
transfer to take place. If they do not match, communications
will halt! DL-Windows assigns Lock IDs to the locks, and can
be performed in two ways:
• Direct communication with your locking device using
"Send All" or "Send Features"
• Communication with the AL-DTM3 using "Send Program
to Lock" and Door Select Mode
Note: Door Select Mode (see below) should only be used
when it is necessary to assign a Lock ID (usually first time
programming of lock only).
Thereafter, all AL-DTM3
communications should be performed in the "Lock Mode" of
the AL-DTM3, ensuring the data is transferring correctly
between DL-Windows and the lock(s) (see below for more
information). Note: The AL-DTM3 displays the word "Door"
and not "Lock ID" when referring to door numbers; in the ALDTM3, both words are equivalent.
IMPORTANT: Be sure to make note of the EXISTING User
299 User Code (PIN). You will need this code later when
transferring data from the AL-DTM3 to the lock(s). (See "Tip"
below for a definition of the User 299 Code).

User 299: "DTM Download" Code
Entering the User Code (or proximity card)
assigned to User 299 allows that particular User
to initiate communications between the AL-DTM3
and DL-Windows.
NOTE: The User Code for User 299 is not an
Access Code and is not used with the DL2800/
DL3000 locks or the Networx™ wireless locks or
devices.
TIP

AL-DTM3 Setup -- Operation Mode
Note: If incorrect mode was selected, restart the AL-DTM3
by holding down both left and right buttons simultaneously for
5 seconds, then reselect the desired mode. Upon power up
of the AL-DTM3, when prompted with "Operation Mode?",
two choices are available: SELECT and STD:
SELECT – Chose SELECT Mode for first time data
communications (by pressing left button). Then, choose
between three modes: PC Comm Mode, Lock Mode,
and Door Select Mode:
48

• PC Comm Mode is used to transfer programming
between DL-Windows and the AL-DTM3
• Lock Mode is used to transfer data between the ALDTM3 and the physical locks. The AL-DTM3 will
automatically identify the Lock ID to which it is
communicating
• Door Select Mode is used to transfer programming
and to assign Lock ID numbers from DL-Windows (see
step 6 below)
STD ("standard") – STD Mode will automatically put the ALDTM3 in PC Comm Mode when communicating with DLWindows and will put the AL-DTM3 in Lock Mode when
performing communications with the physical locks. STD
Mode should be used for all subsequent communication
after the Lock ID has been assigned.

Send Program to Lock
When sending the DL-Windows programming to the
physical lock for the fist time, the AL-DTM3s "Operation
Mode" should be in Select Mode. See previous section for
more information. Note: For subsequent AL-DTM3
communications, use STD Mode and disregard step 6.
1. Plug the AL-PCI cable into the correct COM port in your
PC and plug the other end (the two-pin banana plug
connector) into the AL-DTM3, observing polarity (tab
marked GND to black). It is expected that you have
previously configured your AL-PCI cable. For more
information about the AL-PCI setup and test, see page
43. Upon successful loopback test, proceed to next
step.
2. Open the desired Account in DL-Windows containing
the Lock Profiles with which you intend to communicate
using the AL-DTM3. Note: For each physical lock with
which you intend to communicate using the AL-DTM3,
there must also be a corresponding Lock Profile in DLWindows.
3. On the DL-Windows toolbar, click the DTM button and
the DTM3 Support screen opens. All locks to which
you can communicate using the AL-DTM3 will be listed
in this screen.
4. For each lock you wish to send the program, doubleclick in Function area and in the pull-down select Send
Program. In addition, click to add a check to the
checkbox in the Selected column for each lock.
Note: Right-click function options may be used to set
AL-DTM3 functions quickly (see the "Selected" column
description detailed on page 47 for more information).
TIP

Check the checkbox for Set Lock Clock
(checked by default). If you do NOT want to send
the date and time to the AL-DTM3 and the physical
lock, uncheck this checkbox and proceed to the next step.

5. With the AL-DTM3 in PC COMM MODE, select
Program DTM and the following message will display:

Receive Event Logs with AL-DTM3
Receiving Event Logs using the AL-DTM3 is a three step
process. First, the AL-DTM3 function must be set to
Receive Log, then the AL-DTM3 must communicate with
the physical lock to retrieve the log, and finally DL-Windows
must receive the log from the AL-DTM3.
1. Plug the AL-PCI cable into the correct COM port in your
PC and plug the other end (the two-pin banana plug
connector) into the AL-DTM3, observing polarity (tab
marked GND to black). It is expected that you have
previously configured your AL-PCI cable. For more
information about AL-PCI setup and test, see page 43.
Upon successful loopback test, proceed to next step.
2. Open the desired Account in DL-Windows containing the
Lock Profiles with which you intend to communicate
using the AL-DTM3. Note: For each physical lock with
which you intend to communicate using the AL-DTM3,
there must also be a corresponding Lock Profile in DLWindows.
3. On the DL-Windows toolbar, click the DTM button and
the DTM3 Support screen opens. All locks to which you
can communicate using the AL-DTM3 will be listed in this
screen.
4. For each lock you wish to receive the log, double-click in
the Function area and in the pull-down select Receive
Log. In addition, click to add a check to the checkbox in
the Selected column for each lock.
Note: Right-click function options may be used to set
AL-DTM3 functions quickly (see the "Selected" column
description detailed on page 47 for more information).

Tools Menu (Expanded)
The following Tools menu items can impact the security of
your DL-Windows installation, and are therefore limited to
DL-Windows Administrators only.

Set Security Password
In MOST cases, the Security Password is only used with
Networx installations, however it can also be used to
increase security in the non-Networx (AL-DTM3 and direct
communication) installations.
The Security Password
ensures that only your copy of DL-Windows can
communicate with your locks or your AL-DTM3. Once set,
an internal link is created between DL-Windows, the ALDTM3 (if applicable) and your physical locks. Therefore,
other copies of DL-Windows will be unable to communicate
with your locks unless your Security Password is set in those
copies of DL-Windows prior to the attempted
communication.
IMPORTANT:
The Security Password cannot be
changed and cannot be retrieved. If you wish to change
or remove the Security Password, the Account may be
cloned to remove the Security Password in the new Account
(see page 16 for more information about cloning Accounts).
To change or remove the Security Password in the locks
and/or the AL-DTM3, each lock (or AL-DTM3) must be
manually defaulted and re-downloaded with the new (or
blank) Security Password.
To set the Security Password, click Tools > Set Security
Password. In the dialog that appears, type a unique 6
character (no more, no less) password in the New
Password field. Retype the password in the Confirm field
and click OK to set the Security Password, or click Cancel to
exit without saving changes.

Backup / Restore Database
All contents of the DL-Windows database may be backed up
and restored at any time. It is important to ensure the safety
of the database so that it may be restored at any time or
restored to another copy of DL-Windows, if necessary.

Save As dialog, pointing to a default Backup folder located in
your Microsoft SQL Server folder. Note: Backup files may
be save to any desired location, including a thumb (USB)
drive, etc.

To Restore: Click Tools > Restore Database. In the dialog
that appears, select the location of the database file (by
default, an "AlarmLock.5.x.x.bak" file) and click Open.
Note: When restoring a database, the DL-Windows software
version must be identical to the version that was used to
backup the database.

Export / Import Accounts
Any Account in your DL-Windows database may be exported
or imported at any time. This will allow individual Accounts to
be transferred between different installations of DL-Windows.

To Export
Click Tools > Export Account to open the Save As dialog.
Files may be exported to any desired location, including a
thumb (USB) drive, etc.

To Import
Click Tools > Import
Account. In the dialog that
appears, select the location
of the .acc file and click
Open. The Import Account
dialog appears.
Type a
description of the Account
and click OK. Note: When
importing an Account, the

allows date/time stamping of events. The clock can be
slowed or speeded up to fine tune long term accuracy to
within three minutes per year.
• CLOCK SETTINGS = Printout includes date, time,
weekday, and clock speed.
• CLOCK SPEED = The clock can be adjusted to allow
faster/slower speeds and therefore increasing clock
accuracy.

when power is removed and re-applied, the original factory
default settings are re-loaded and take effect.
DELETE = User Codes (PINs) and proximity credentials can
exist (occupy a User Number) within the lock programming,
but are removed when "deleted". can be rendered

(such as an Alarm Panel Keypad). The Burglary Alarm
Panel must be programmed to disarm from an Armed
State Only and the zone input must be programmed for
input disarming.
• GROUP 1 ENABLES GROUP 4 USERS = A Group 1
USER CODE entry during a predefined schedule will
allow access to Group 4 Users.
• GROUP 1 PUTS UNIT IN PASSAGE = A Group 1 USER
CODE entry during a pre-defined schedule will unlock
unit.
GUARD TOUR = A Guard Tour Code is used to log the
movement of a security guard as he or she makes rounds
from one assigned guard tour station to the next. A Guard
Tour Code is used to log the movement of a security guard
as he or she makes rounds from one assigned guard tour
station to the next. Entering the User 299 code provides
precise verification and accountability of a guard's
movements by logging the location with a time/date stamp
in the Event Log (Audit Trail). See OI383 for more

within an Account. No longer entered through AL-59. For
use with the AL-DTM3 (for the AL-DTM or the AM-DTM2,
see glossary entry "Door Number".
The new Lock ID format was developed to increase the
number of locks allowed per Account (now up to 2000
locks). As a result of this increase, the ability to change the
Door Number (now called Lock ID) at the lock keypad is no
longer used. DL-Windows (versions 3.5.3 and greater)
software must now be used to change the Lock ID. When
DL-Windows version 3.5+ data is sent to the lock, this Lock
ID is updated.
If you wish to receive data from the lock before data is sent,
the new "Update Lock ID" option in DL-Windows version
3.5+ will change or update the Lock ID. In addition, the
current keypad Function 59 (in Programming Mode) is no
longer allowed, and is consequently ignored by the DLWindows software.
LOCKOUT ATTEMPTS = A specified number of invalid User
Code entries (1-9), that will disable the keypad for a
predefined period of time (1-60 seconds).
LOCKOUT TIME = A predefined time (1-60) seconds that the
lock will stop accepting User Codes, after a specified
number of invalid User Code entries (1-9).
