2 DL-WINDOWS™ for Networx™ V5 USER'S GUIDE
The following changes have been made to this manual OI383 (identical to OI352D) since the previous edition (OI352C):
• Updated to reflect DL-Windows version 5 which includes a new look, improved performance and simplified screens.
• Removed the section regarding Gateway hardware installation (page 11 of OI352C) and placed it into a new man-
ual ("Networx Gateway Installation and Setup Instructions", WI2085).
CHANGES FROM THE PREVIOUS EDITION
About this Manual
This manual is intended to document the DL-Windows computer screens and features used to program Networx 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 de-
vices such as the DK series keypads that trigger other
locking devices.
The word "credential" is also a generic word used to in-
dicate a PIN number pressed into a lock keypad, or a
proximity card or proximity keyfob.
In DL-Windows, the word "configure" has a specific
meaning--to "configure" is to "assign" discovered physical
locks to a Gateway, thus ensuring a fixed wireless com-
munication channel exists between selected physical
locks and a selected Gateway.
Throughout this manual, the phrase "DL-Windows 'Main
Screen' " is often used, and refers to the first screen that
opens when the DL-Windows program is launched,
shown at right. Also note that when Accounts are added,
they are listed in the "Account List" area, also shown:

6 DL-WINDOWS™ for Networx™ V5 USER'S GUIDE
Used with the Trilogy Networx™ series door locks and
keypads, DL-Windows (version 4.0.0 software or later)
allows you to upload and download programming fea-
tures wirelessly using a computer network. With
"wireless" communication, the various cables and/or an
AL-DTM Data Transfer Module are NOT required to
transfer data between DL-Windows and the wireless
locks. Simply use your computer to retrieve logs,
download User Codes and program features into each
wireless lock in the system.
DL-Windows software is installed on a computer that is
connected to a network (either a small Ethernet network,
a large corporate LAN, or over the Internet). Connected
to this network is an intermediate device called a Gate-
way that communicates via a private wireless signal to a
radio located inside each door lock. In this way, the soft-
ware allows full programming and control of each lock in
the system. Note: In this manual, the word "lock" refers
to all Networx™ series door locks and the NETWORX-
PANEL wireless control panel and its wireless keypads.
To ensure each physical lock is identified correctly by
DL-Windows, the factory assigns each lock a unique se-
rial number; after locks are installed on the doors and the
Gateways are mounted, the Gateways search for new
locks, allowing them to be enrolled into the system.
FLEXIBLE SETUP
In addition to wireless communication, these wireless
door locks can also be programmed at the keypad
(see the keypad programming instructions included with
the lock). This means that locks can be installed on the
doors and immediately be put into use via keypad pro-
gramming--even before a wireless network is set up.
Therefore, you can install the locks on the doors before
configuring the wireless network, or you can set up the
wireless network first and add locks later. If you wish,
you can even start by designing a "virtual" system within
DL-Windows (creating new Accounts, adding Users and
configuring lock features, etc.), then set up the network
and install the lock hardware later. But in the end, after
your lock hardware is physically installed and the net-
work is up and running, you can run DL-Windows to
"Link" the "virtual" system saved on your computer with
the "real" lock hardware on the doors.
Note: Keypad programming of User Codes, Features,
Time Zones, and Schedules is available as a temporary
convenience to allow the lock to be put into use before
installing and configuring a wireless network. Therefore,
all lock programming added via the keypad cannot be
retrieved into DL-Windows. If you decide to start
programming your wireless lock via the keypad, we
recommend you keep hardcopy records (in a secure
location) of all Users, their User Codes, and any
proximity cards that may have been programmed. Keep-
ing complete and accurate records saves time because
after the wireless network is set up, any programming
added via the keypad must be re-added to DL-Windows
and downloaded back to the lock(s).
CAPACITY
Each installed system can contain from 1 to 32 Gate-
ways--and each Gateway can control up to 63 locks--for
a maximum of 2000 locks allowed per Account; and the
DL-Windows software can support, in theory, an unlim-

MINIMUM WIRELESS SYSTEM
As shown in the "overview" drawings above, you do not
need a massively complex corporate network to run a
working system. In fact, a minimum wireless system
may consist of a laptop or desktop computer (to run
DL-Windows), a router (to allow connection to a com-
puter network), and an Alarm Lock Gateway module
(the intermediary between the network and the locks).
NETWORK SECURITY
The system uses AES (Advanced Encryption Standard)
to protect the integrity of the data flow between the wire-
less router / network and the Gateways.
Overview (cont'd)
DL-Windows software is the basis for wireless lock programming. For those unfamiliar with using
DL-Windows software or if DL-Windows is not yet installed, stop here and review the DL-Windows User Guide (OI382).
It may be helpful to create a "test" Account in DL-Windows, where you can add Lock Profiles and become familiar with
the DL-Windows program while working through the examples presented in this manual and in OI382.
If you are already familiar with DL-Windows, the transition to working with wireless locks will be straightforward with
slight changes in terminology. If you want to get started right away to see the system work, see the Quick Start section
on page 9. This manual can be read from beginning to end, or can be used with the Table of Contents as a reference
manual.
● To install locks on the doors first, use the Installation Instructions for the lock model you wish to install, then
use the keypad Programming Instructions to put the locks into use.
● To install and set up Gateways and configure your network settings, see the Networx Gateway Installation &
Setup Instructions (WI2085).
DL-WINDOWS SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
See OI382 for a complete list of the minimum requirements, plus things to consider when upgrading from previous
versions, and the step-by-step procedures for installing DL-Windows version 5.

Security Password
Overview
Before Gateways and locks can be discovered and
configured, a Security Password must be set for the
Account. The Security Password creates a secure
connection between DL-Windows, your Gateways and the
physical locks. Once set, the Security Password is
embedded within the radio transmissions, also preventing
separate Accounts from overlapping their wireless signals.
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 OI382 for more information about "cloning"
Accounts). To change or remove the Security Password in
the locks and/or the Gateways, each lock (or Gateway)
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 screen that appears (shown below), 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.

12 DL-WINDOWS™ for Networx™ V5 USER'S GUIDE
Things to Remember
1. IMPORTANT: Gateways must be on the same Subnet
as DL-Windows to allow for successful discovery.
Once Gateways are added to the
system, its static IP address,
Wireless settings, etc., may then
be configured. See Tools >
Configure/Edit Network Settings
for more information.
Discovering / Adding Gateways
Once connected to the network, Gateways must be
discovered and added to the Account. This can be
accomplished in one of 3 ways:
● In the Gateway Configuration screen, click the
Discover Gateways And Auto Add button. This one-
click option discovers and adds ALL "Available" (see
Color List below) Gateways to the selected Account.
● In the Gateway Configuration screen Actions menu,
click Discover New Gateway(s). This action will find
ALL "Available" Gateways and list them on the screen.
Note: The IP addresses of "Available" Gateway(s) will
be highlighted green (see color list below). The next
step is to click to select a Gateway you wish to add, then
click Actions > Add Gateway to Account. Click Yes in
the confirmation popup and when added, the IP address
of the Gateway will be highlighted in blue. This two-step
option allows you to first discover Gateways, then
selectively decide which Gateways to add.
● In the Gateway Configuration screen, click Tools >
Manually Add a Gateway. This option opens the
Manual Gateway Addition screen, where the MAC
Address of the Gateway is manually typed and saved to
the database. A connection will then be attempted to the
Gateway over the network, and if successful, the
Gateway will be added to the system. When Gateways
cannot be added to the system, it will be colored red.
See Color List below.
2. All added Gateways are put into Gateway Emergency
"GROUP A" by default. For more information, see
Automatic Gateway Grouping on page 38.
3. Since Gateways are discovered and added using
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol), and are
therefore not yet static, a reminder "red siren" symbol
will be displayed in the DL-Windows "Main Screen"
status bar upon Gateway addition. The "red siren"
symbol is a reminder that keypad-initiated Emergency
commands may not function correctly if the Gateway
has not been configured with a static IP address. See
38 for important information.
Color List
The IP Address column is color coded, as follows:
● Blue: Gateway Status = Ready.
Indicates the Gateway has been discovered on the
network successfully, and added to an existing Account
within DL-Windows. Note: This Gateway may or may
not have physical locks assigned (may or may not have
a Lock Table assigned).
● Green: Gateway Status = Available.
Indicates a Gateway has been successfully discovered
on the network, but has not been added to the Account
within DL-Windows.
● Red:
Gateway Status = Unreachable.
Indicates a Gateway that has been previously
discovered and added to an Account, but is currently
not reachable on the network. Note: Gateway can be
re-located by clicking Actions > Relocate Gateways
Displayed in Red. This red color can signify a security
mismatch, detailed below.
OR
Red:
Gateway Status = Security Mismatch.
Indicates the Gateway Security Password and the
Security Password set for the Account are not the
same, therefore a successful connection cannot be
established. Note: Gateway may require latest
configuration data. See page 22 ("Tools > Send Lock
Config Table to the Gateway") and the TIP on page
28 (the page for "Gateway Configuration > Actions >
Relocate Gateways (Displayed in red)") for more
information.
For a Gateway to be considered
"Available", it must be on the network, have a
dynamically obtained IP address, and manually
reset (see WI2085 for reset GW procedure). A
Gateway may also be considered "Available" if it
already contains the same Security Password as the
Security Password set for the Account. See section
Tools> Import Gateway and Assign Lock(s) for more
information.
TIP
DL-WINDOWS™ for Networx™ V5 USER'S GUIDE 13
Discovering / Assigning Wireless Locks
After Gateways have been discovered and added to the
Account, physical locks may now be discovered and
assigned to the Gateways. More commonly, this is
accomplished in two steps: First discovering the locks, then
assigning them to the Gateway(s).
Note: After lock discovery and lock assignment to a
Gateway, locks are then "Linked" to Lock Profiles.
Therefore, before proceeding, we recommend that you
create Lock Profiles for each physical lock you wish to
assign to a Gateway.
DISCOVERING LOCKS
The lock "discovery" process (search) can be performed in
one of two ways:
● In the Gateway Configuration screen, click to select the
desired Gateway to which the installed lock will be
assigned. Then in the Number of Locks to Discover
pull-down, select the number of physical locks you wish
to attempt to discover, then click Discover Locks.
Note: The selected Gateway will transmit the discovery
request radio signal to the locks in the vicinity. Only those
locks within range that have not already been assigned to a
Gateway will respond. By selecting the number of physical
locks to be discovered, the discovery process will stop the
instant the selected number of locks are found. If the
number of locks selected exceeds the number of
unassigned locks that exist in the vicinity, the discovery
process will continue for a maximum of one minute. The
discovery process may also be stopped at any time by
clicking the Abort button (this will also return the list of
locks found up until the time the Abort button was clicked).
● This second procedure is identical to the above
procedure, except the lock discovery process is started
using Actions > Discover Locks.
ASSIGNING LOCKS
After locks are discovered, the following Discovered Locks
popup automatically appears listing the successfully
discovered locks for the selected Gateway:
Click to add a check to the checkbox next to the serial
number for each lock you wish to assign to the selected
Gateway, then click Assign. The following message
appears as locks are assigned:
After locks are assigned to the selected Gateway, the
following popup appears to begin the required procedure of
"Linking" the assigned locks to Lock Profiles. See the next
section for procedures.
MANUAL LOCK ASSIGNMENT
In the Gateway Configuration screen, click Tools >
Manually Add a Lock to the Gateway. In the screen that
appears, type the lock serial number and select the lock
model from the Lock Type pull-down. Then click Add Lock.
This feature adds the lock(s) to the database; when finished
adding locks, click Tools > Send Lock Config Table to the
Gateway. All locks in the database will then attempt to be
assigned to the Gateway. For more information with using
this feature, see 21.
The discovered locks displayed in the screen above are those physical
locks that were able to be discovered based on their range to the
selected Gateway. (For more information about signal levels, see page
46 for definitions of GTW Rx and LCK Rx).
For a lock to be considered "unassigned"
to a Gateway, it must be manually reset
("defaulted"). See the programming instructions
that came with the lock for the reset procedure.
TIP
If a lock(s) fails to be assigned to
the Gateway, reattempt the lock
assignment by clicking Tools > Send
Lock Config Table to the Gateway.
TIP
14 DL-WINDOWS™ for Networx™ V5 USER'S GUIDE
Linking Lock Profiles
After physical locks are successfully assigned to the Gateway, they must be "Linked" to Lock Profiles (locks not Linked
cannot be downloaded). In DL-Windows, the word "Link" is used to describe the specific action of associating a Lock
Profile to the physical lock assigned to the Gateway (by serial number). The Lock Type (model) of the Lock Profile MUST
match the assigned lock to which you wish to Link. The Link / Unlink Lock Profiles screen may be accessed in one of two
ways:
● More commonly, the screen is accessed immediately following lock assignment (click Yes to confirmation popup shown
on previous page);
or
● At a later time, from the DL-Windows "Main Screen", click Tools > Link / Unlink Lock Profiles.
Note: A condensed version of the screen may be accessed via the right-click options from the Lock Profile (right-click the
Lock Profile and select "Link / Unlink Lock Profile"). See page 47 for more information.
LINKING PROCEDURE
To Link a Lock Profile to an assigned lock, in the Available Lock Profiles field, click to select a Lock Profile, then in the
Available Locks By Serial Number field, click the physical lock to which you want to Link. The pair will automatically
move down to the Linked Locks grid at the bottom. Note: Since Lock Types (models) must match for successful Linking,
when a Lock Profile is selected, the Available Locks By Serial Number field automatically filters and displays only
matching Lock Types.
If an incorrect Linking was made, or if you wish to undo a Linking, simply select the Linked lock from the Linked Locks grid
and click the Unlink Lock button (the Lock Profile and the available locks will return to their respective lists, and are
thereafter available for Linking.
CONGRATULATIONS! Your locks have been Linked, and are now able to be downloaded with Lock Profile data. To add
Users, Schedules, etc., see OI382.

If some Gateways could not be reached and therefore
could not receive the delete command, the selected locks
will be removed from the DL-Windows Gateway database.
The Gateway will be updated later when the Gateway
connection is re-established.
Note: Since the Gateway could not be reached, the
selected locks could not be reached either. Therefore,
although the selected locks will be removed from the

describe the domain name and hostname of the corresponding IP
address assigned to the selected Gateway. The DHCP Name
entered here will be used for the DNS configuration (default =
ALARMLCK).
Use DHCP (checkbox)
Use DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) is checked
(enabled) by default. When checked, DL-Windows allows the
selected Gateway to accept the dynamic assignment of an IP
address by the TCP/IP network. Note that Emergency Commands
may NOT function properly using DHCP. Uncheck Use DHCP to
allow the manual assignment of a static IP address to the selected
Gateway (a warning popup appears that the Gateway may be
unreachable until it is installed on the correct network). The IP
Address, Subnet Mask and Default Gateway fields become
active. Un-checking Use DHCP also activates the fields in the
Remote Configuration area for "Internet Gateway Connectivity"
support (though not required unless using for Internet access).
IP Address
This field allows the (static) IP address to be manually assigned to
the selected Gateway.
Subnet Mask
The IP protocol makes use of a Subnet Mask to more efficiently
route packets to their correct network destinations.
Default Gateway
This field is the IP address of the physical device, such as a router,
for the current subnet to which you want to be connected. This field
is not to be confused with the IP address of the Alarm Lock
Gateway device installed in the system.
Gateway MAC Address
This field represents the unique 12-digit MAC Address of the
Gateway. This field cannot be edited or changed.
WAN Address (Remote Configuration area)
This field allows DL-Windows to communicate with a Gateway over
a Wide Area Network (Internet).
DL-WINDOWS™ for Networx™ V5 USER'S GUIDE 19
When WPA2 Security Type is selected, the options for the
selected Gateway are:
● CCMP: (Counter Mode with Cipher Block Chaining Message
Authentication Code Protocol) improves upon both WPA and
TKIP. CCMP is a required option for Robust Security Network
(RSN) compliant networks.
● TKIP: See above.
Key Type
A "key" is a numeric code used to encrypt data, and is used to
secure the data traffic between the router and the Gateways. The
key "type" can be "Passphrase" or "Hex" (a hexadecimal string,
for example, '45D3 E454 3523 EDC2'). To ease encryption key
entry, a password or passphrase can be entered instead of the
cryptic hexadecimal characters.
Key
Retype Key
Type your key in the Key field, and re-type in the Retype Key field
to confirm it. Maximum character entry dependant upon
selections made above.
Wireless Network Configuration
Network Name (SSID)
This field allows you to specify the SSID (Service Set IDentifier)
name assigned to the wireless Wi-Fi (802.11) network. Wireless
Gateway models in a system must use this name to allow for
network communication. Note: This field is case-sensitive and
can be up to 32 bytes in length.
Network Type
Click the pull-down menu to select the network communication
mode. With "Infrastructure" selected, the Gateways
communicate to a wired LAN via access points. With "Ad Hoc"
selected, the Gateways can communicate directly in a peer-to-
peer fashion.
Channel Number
Click the pull-down menu to manually specify the number (1 - 11)
of the carrier frequency (subchannel pathway) between the
selected Gateway and the wireless Wi-Fi (802.11) network.
Save (button)
Click to record all network configuration data to the database. Use
this option when connection to the Gateway failed due to incorrect
network configuration entry. Note: Network configuration data
will not be sent to the Gateway.
Send (button)
Click to save all network configuration data to the database and
send all network configuration data to the Gateway.
Close (button)
Click "X" or the Close button to exit the screen without saving
changes.
Wireless Network Security
Security Type
Click the pull-down menu to specify the 802.11 security protocol
(encryption method) to be used when the selected Gateway is
connected to the wireless network. The selections are:
● WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) The WEP encryption method
was designed to provide wireless networks with the
"equivalent" security available in traditional wired "landline"
networks.
● WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) A security protocol from the
Wi-Fi alliance for 802.11 wireless networks. It uses the
Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) to provide stronger
encryption than the earlier WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy)
method. Derived from, and a subset of, the IEEE 802.11i
security standard, WPA includes 802.1x authentication.
● WPA2 (Wi-Fi Protected Access 2) Supports additional security
features of the IEEE 802.11i standard that are not already
included in the WPA security protocol.
Note: For each Security Type selected, different choices appear
for the other fields in the Wireless Network Security area of this
screen.
Authentication
Click the pull-down menu to specify the 802.11 authentication
protocol to be used when the selected Gateway is connected to
the wireless network. When WEP Security Type is selected, the
options for the selected Gateway are:
● Open/None: Requires no Authentication for the data
transmissions between the selected Gateway and the router.
● Shared: Requires a shared symmetric code (encryption "key")
for all data transmissions between the router and the Gateway.
When WPA or WPA2 Security Type is selected, the option is:
● Pre-Shared Key (PSK): Allows the use of manually-entered
keys or passwords (encryption "key") to initiate WPA security.
Encryption
The reversible transformation of data from its original format into a
concealed format as a process for securing its accessibility,
authenticity and integrity. Encryption uses an encryption algorithm
(sequence) and one or more encryption keys (numeric codes).
When WEP Security Type is selected, the options for the
selected Gateway are:
● 64 bits: Although the 64-bit WEP data encryption method
uses a five-character key size (forty bits or five bytes) for
symmetric encryption, plus an additional 24 factory-set bits,
this method represents a relatively low level of security.
● 128 bits: Stronger than 64-bit WEP, 128-bit WEP uses a
string of 26 hexadecimal characters (0-9 and A-F), each
representing four bits of the key.
When WPA Security Type is selected, the option for the selected
Gateway is:
● TKIP: (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol), a security protocol
algorithm that compliments WPA encryption with increased
security measures such as extended key lengths and data
integrity checks.

In the Gateway Configuration screen, click Tools > Send Lock Config Table to the Gateway. Upon selection, the Gate-
way will be updated with the latest configuration data and will attempt to assign locks (if necessary).
In DL-Windows, the word "configure" has a specific meaning--to "configure" is to "assign" discovered physical locks to a
Gateway, thus ensuring a fixed wireless communication channel exists between selected physical locks and a selected
Gateway.
The Gateway sends "configuration data" in the form of a "Lock Configuration Table" to the selected locks. This
"configuration data" contains items (an internal lock designation, a specific radio channel and security data) that are all em-
bedded in the "Lock Configuration Table". The "configuration data" then instructs the physical lock(s) to communicate
ONLY with that Gateway, thus preventing other Gateways from communicating with the physical lock(s).
Although other applications exist, the three most common uses for sending the Lock Configuration Table to a Gateway are:
● Assignment Retry - Lock was successfully discovered, but was unable to be assigned to the Gateway.
● Completing Manual Lock Addition - Requirement after manually assigning locks to the Gateway database.
● Security Mismatch - "Gateway Configuration Data" area elements do not match those elements within the DL-
Windows database.

MAC address will be saved to the database and added to the Account, and a connection to the Gateway will be attempted.
If the Gateway connection is established successfully, the IP address will be highlighted blue (if unsuccessful, it will be high-
lighted red). When manually adding a Gateway to an Account, keep in mind the following:
● The Gateway you wish to manually add to the Account must be on the network and "Available" (dynamically obtained
IP address and manually reset). See WI2085 for more information.
● The Gateway must be successfully saved and added to the Account before configuring a static IP address or wireless
settings.
● When using the "Internet Gateway Connectivity" feature, uncheck Use DHCP and type the required Remote Con-
figuration settings (WAN Address and Port). See WI2085.
Gateway Configuration > Tools > Manually Add a Gateway
For a Gateway to be considered "Available", it must be on the network, have a dynamically
obtained IP address, and manually reset (see WI2085 for reset Gateway procedures). A Gateway
may also be considered "Available" if it already contains the same Security Password as the Security
Password set for the Account. See section Tools> Import Gateway and Assign Lock(s) for more

If a Gateway(s) is unreachable with its IP address high-
lighted red, by clicking Actions > Relocate Gateways
(Displayed in red), an attempt is made to re-connect with
that Gateway(s).
If a Gateway IP address is highlighted in red, and therefore
a connection could not be established, try the following:
1. Check the network. Re-fresh the Gateway Configu-
ration screen (by closing and re-opening the screen).
If other Gateways exist in the Account and are listed
highlighted in blue, this indicates that part of the net-
work is still operational. You may need to contact your
network administrator to assist in finding the source of
the network problem.
2. Check your physical connections to the Gateway.
● The RJ-45 socket on the Gateway contains two
LEDs; the green LED should be lit continually when
the RJ-45 plug is inserted and properly connected.
The yellow LED flickers when data is being send to
or from the Gateway. If these two LEDs are not
functioning, you can suspect the problem lies with
the RJ-45 cable or the network. Try replacing the
RJ-45 cable. Note: Both LEDs are not lit when
the Gateway is configured for wireless (802.11)
use.
● If the RJ-45 socket LEDs are operational, remove

Communicating with Wireless Locks
Networx Communication Overview
Once your have discovered your Gateways, assigned your
locks and Linked them to Lock Profiles, there are several
methods for sending data to (or receiving data from)
wireless locks:
● Method 1: Communicate with wireless locks
individually using the Communication button on the
DL-Windows "Main Screen" (or from the Lock Data
screen);
● Method 2: Communicate with multiple wireless locks
(one after another) using the Wireless screen;
● Method 3: Communicate automatically at a specified
time using a Wireless Schedule screen action.
Note: Keypad programming of User Codes, Features,
Time Zones, and Schedules is available as a temporary
convenience to allow the lock to be put into use before
installing and configuring a wireless network. Therefore, all
lock programming added via the keypad cannot be
retrieved from the lock into DL-Windows. If you decide to
start programming your wireless lock via the keypad, we
recommend you keep hardcopy records (in a secure
location) of all Users, their User Codes, and any proximity
cards that may have been programmed. Keeping complete
and accurate records saves time because after the wireless
network is set up, any programming added via the keypad
must be re-added to DL-Windows and downloaded back to
the lock(s).
Method 1:
"Communicate with Selected Networx Lock"
1. In the DL-Windows "Main Screen", click the
Communication button on the toolbar and select
Communicate with Selected Networx Lock.
Note: The Communication button on the Lock Data
screen may also be used. In addition, if your lock has
not been Linked to a Lock Profile, the following popup
appears:
2. If Linked, the following screen appears:
Select any combination of data to send to your wireless
lock; a red circle with red square will denote those
selections made, though it is recommended to check
"Send/Receive All".
• Send/Receive All - Sends the complete program to
(and receives selected number of Event Logs from)
the wireless lock.
• Send Users - Sends all User Information including
User Enable / Disable status, User Codes (PINs),
proximity information, Group Assignments and
Emergency Users.
• Send Schedules - Sends all Schedules (see OI382
for more details).
• Send Features - Sends all Features chosen in the
Features screen (see Features section(s) in OI382
for more details).
• Send Date Time Update - Updates the wireless lock
with the PCs current date and time.
• Receive Number of Event Logs (pull-down) -
Receives the selected number of Event Logs from the
wireless lock (default = 50; maximum = 40,000).
3. Initiate the communication by clicking the Start button.
Note: Unlike standard non-wireless Trilogy locks,
wireless Networx locks do not need to be configured for
PC Program Mode (Function 58).
Any
combination
of available
data may be
sent to your
lock.
32 DL-WINDOWS™ for Networx™ V5 USER'S GUIDE
4. After data transfer has finished, verify all selected options
are displayed with a green checkmark and the message
"Communication completed" appears. Note: The
Event Log screen will automatically appear upon
successful communication if Receive Number of Event
Logs was previously selected:
Note: If data transfer fails, a circle with a red "X" will denote
communication error. Verify proper signal levels and check
network connections. For more information, see WI2085.

added Gateway is configured with a changeable IP address
(DHCP). This "red siren" symbol will remain until all Gate-
ways in the Account are configured with a static IP address.
Configure Lock for Emergency Commands
All Networx locks are programmed at the factory to respond
to Emergency Commands from DL-Windows. However,
DL-Windows DOES allow you to program a specific lock (or
locks) to ignore Emergency Commands, if desired. In the
DL-Windows "Main Screen", click the Features button to
open the Features screen (Options tab), then un-check the
Lock Responds to Emergency Commands checkbox
(default is checked). Note: Keypad-initiated Emergency
Commands will NOT function until the Lock Profile has been
downloaded to the physical Networx lock.
Who can Initiate Emergency Commands?
● From DL-Windows: All Users, Administrators and
Operators have access to the Emergency Com-
mands screen, and therefore can initiate Emergency
Commands to any Gateway (and their assigned locks).
● From a Networx wireless lock keypad: Once the
Lock Profile has been downloaded to the physical lock,
Administrative Users 1 through 11 automatically have
the ability to initiate Emergency Commands from the
keypad. In addition, "non-Admin" Users (12+) may be
given the ability to initiate Emergency Commands from

Adding Emergency Users
To grant the ability of a "non-Admin" User (12+) to initi-
ate keypad Emergency Commands, in DL-Windows,
click the Global button to open the Global Users
Emergency Overview
Three "Emergency Commands" are available in the wireless
Trilogy Networx system:
• "Emergency Lock Down": Places all assigned locks
into an indefinitely locked state
• "Emergency Passage": Places all assigned locks into
an indefinitely unlocked state
• "Return to Normal": Reverts all assigned locks to the
state they were in prior to the initiation of the Emergency
command
These "Emergency" Commands can be initiated from DL-
Windows via the Emergency Commands screen, or at any
Networx wireless lock keypad. For more information re-
garding issuing Emergency Commands at the keypad, see
the programming instructions included with your lock. Note:
DL-Windows does not need to be running when issuing an
Emergency Command at the keypad.
WARNING: NEVER use Emergency Commands to "toggle"
Passage Mode, as this will severely impact battery life.
Getting Started
Automatic Gateway Grouping
("Emergency Grouping")
Upon the addition of each Gateway into an Account, the
Gateway is automatically placed into an Emergency Group
("GROUP A" by default). This is done so that upon the ini-
tiation of an Emergency Command, ALL Gateways in the
Emergency Group (and their assigned locks) will respond to
Emergency Commands issued from DL-Windows. In addi-
tion, the automatic placement of a new Gateway into an
Emergency Group allows for keypad-initiated Emergency
Commands, to lock down an entire system from a single
wireless lock.
Required Static IP Address
IMPORTANT: To ensure Gateways can respond to Emer-
gency Commands, all Gateways MUST be configured with
static (unchangeable) IP addresses. For more information
about configuring a Gateway with a static IP address, see
Gateway Configuration > Tools > Configure / Edit Net-
work Settings (page 18), and WI2085.
With the addition of each newly added Gateway to an Ac-

After a lock has been placed into the Emergency Lock
Down state:
● All Administrative Users (User Numbers 1-11) can still
unlock the physical lock.
● All Users added to the Emergency Users list (see

detailed descriptions of the terms
used in this section (i.e. User Code,
User Numbers, etc.).
TIP
40 DL-WINDOWS™ for Networx™ V5 USER'S GUIDE
Selecting Emergency Lock Down sends a command to all Gateways (in the selected Gateway Groups) to immediately
lock all of their assigned wireless locks, thus securing the protected doors from unwarranted passage. In an Emergency
Lock Down state, all Administrative Users (User Numbers 1-11) can still unlock the physical lock. In addition, all Users
added to the Emergency Users list (see page 38) can unlock the physical lock.
From the Emergency Commands screen, click the Emergency Lock Down button.
The following Emergency View screen appears:
The following modes will be overridden by an Emergency
Lock Down Command :
● Normal mode ("non-Emergency")
● Emergency Passage mode
● Passage mode (via keypad Function 45)
● Scheduled Passage Mode (via "unlock" Schedule)
Note: Once in Emergency Lock Down, the wireless
physical lock(s) may be placed in Passage mode manually
(using keypad Function 48).
Emergency Lock Down Indication
● In DL-Windows: At the bottom of the DL-Windows
"Main Screen", a bar will flash from red to yellow with
the text "Emergency Lock Down" blinking continu-
ously until a subsequent "Return to Normal" command
is received (see image at the bottom of this page).
● At Physical Lock: Red LED blinks once every two
seconds.
IMPORTANT: Threats such as fire emergen-
cies, bomb threats or the release of hazard-
ous substances within a protected premises
may require an "Emergency Passage" Com-
mand to allow for a facility evacuation.
Other threats such as terrorist attacks, hostile
intruder situations, the outdoor release of
hazardous substances, tornado emergencies
and other life-threatening events, may require
an "Emergency Lock Down" - the opposite of
a facility evacuation.
It is strongly advised that all facilities develop
separate Emergency Lock Down and Emer-
gency Passage procedures appropriate for
the specific premises, and these Emergency
procedures be frequently practiced and con-
tinually refined.
Emergency > Emergency Lock Down
Once all locks assigned to the Gateway receive the selected Emergency Command, the status will return
"Emergency Lock Down" (highlighted red). In the above image, notice how the status of the second Gateway
displays "Unable to verify lock status" highlighted in yellow. This indicates that one or more locks assigned to
the Gateway may not have received the Emergency Command. Therefore, the Emergency View screen cannot
be closed and the Emergency Command will be continuously re-tried until the Abort Retries button is intentionally
clicked.
DL-WINDOWS™ for Networx™ V5 USER'S GUIDE 41
Selecting Emergency Passage sends a command to all Gateways (in the selected Emergency Groups) to immediately
unlock all of their assigned wireless locks, thus un-securing the protected doors to allow passage. In an Emergency
Passage state, User credentials are no longer required to allow passage. Please use caution when using this feature,
and consider all implications of un-securing the protected doors.

Emergency Commands > Set Emergency Groups
As mentioned in the previous section, each Gateway added to an Account is placed into Emergency "GROUP A" by
default. This is done to ensure that Gateways will communicate with each other in an Emergency, without the use of DL-
Windows (the Emergency initiated via the keypad). Note: Access to the Set Emergency Groups screen (from the
Emergency Command screen or from Gateway Configuration > Tools menu) is disabled when only one Gateway exists
in the Account.
In addition, Emergency Grouping is available to separate Gateways (and therefore their assigned locks) intentionally. For
example, to prevent a Gateway whose locks control a secure location from receiving an Emergency Command, place the
Gateway into "GROUP B"; thus the User may selectively decide via the Emergency Command screen, which Group(s) will
receive the Emergency Command.
It is also in the Set Emergency Groups screen where you may configure the individual description text reflected in the
Emergency Command screen of the Emergency Group (replacing "GROUP A" with another description).
In the Emergency Command screen, click the Set Emergency Groups button to open the
Set Emergency Groups screen. The Set Emergency Groups screen may also be
accessed from Gateway Configuration > Tools > Set Emergency Groups.
Prerequisite
The following message appears any time the Set
Emergency Groups screen is accessed:
How it Works
When an Emergency Command is initiated from a keypad,
the Command is disseminated to all Gateways, and their
locks, in the Account. See diagram at right. To allow
The diagram above illustrates how Emergency Commands
are distributed: Initiating an Emergency Command at the
lock keypad causes the keypad to send the Emergency
Command to its associated Gateway (named "Gateway 1").
"Gateway 1" then sends the Emergency Command to all
locks assigned to "Gateway 1". "Gateway 1" then sends
the same Emergency Command to each Gateway IP
address listed in its static IP address "table" via the Router.
With each Gateway receiving the Emergency Command
from "Gateway 1", each of these Gateways can then send
the Emergency Command to each of its assigned locks.
Notice that DL-Windows is not needed to disseminate
Emergency Commands and therefore not shown in this
diagram.

LOCK ASSIGNMENT FAILURE
I discovered the lock successfully but after making the
selection and selecting "Assign Lock", the following
message appeared:
This message appears after several configuration at-
tempts by the Gateway. This indicates the physical
lock did not successfully receive the configuration data
(internal lock designation, a specific radio channel and
security data), and therefore is unable to be assigned
to the Gateway.
When this message appears, perform of the following:
1. Click Yes to first view the locks that were not con-
figured / assigned (by viewing the Gateway Lock
Table).
2. In the Gateway Configuration screen, click Tools
> Send Lock Config Table to the Gateway. This
will attempt to re-configure the lock(s) that failed
the initial assignment attempts. See page 22 for
more information regarding the use of this feature.
LOCK DISCOVERY FAILURE
I am trying to discover my lock, but DL-Windows can't
find it.
If no locks are found after a discovery attempt:
1. Verify that the lock is reset ("defaulted"). See the
programming instructions that came with your lock
for reset procedure.
2. Verify the lock is installed within an acceptable ra-
dio range of the Gateway. Refer to WI2085 for
information about installation and range.
● Test range with the Networx Signal Meter tool (part
AL-NSM).
3. Verify the Gateway has been mounted and physi-
cally installed as described in the instructions in-
cluded with the unit.
4. In the Gateway Configuration screen, try increas-
ing the Number of Locks to Discover (from the
pull-down).
EXISTING LOCK COMMUNICATION
FAILURE
I am no longer able to communicate with an existing
Networx lock. It was working just fine, now it does not
work!
Before attempting to re-establish communication, con-
sider the following:
1. Has something changed to affect the communica-
tion?
● Is something blocking the radio signal from the
Gateway to the lock?
● Check the radio signal from the Gateway using
the Networx Signal Meter tool (part AL-NSM).
Is the signal strength very weak?
2. Is the lock still functioning? Find the physical lock
and attempt to unlock by entering a working User
Code. Are the key-presses even causing beeping
sounds?
After verifying above, if the signal strength to that lock
has always been strong and suddenly it is non-existent,
the lock may have an internal failure. To reestablish a
connection with the lock, perform the following steps:
1. Reset ("Default") the lock (see the programming
instructions that came with the lock for the reset
procedure).
2. Re-discover the lock. Upon assignment, the fol-
lowing message will display:
This message appears because the lock was never
removed from the Gateway table, therefore the
lock is simply re-configured (received configuration
data, including its internal lock designation, a spe-
cific radio channel and security data).
Note: Re-Linking the lock is not required.
3. Download the Lock Profile to resume normal lock
operation.
TROUBLESHOOTING
DL-WINDOWS™ for Networx™ V5 USER'S GUIDE 51
WIRELESS LOCK MEMORY FAILURE
My Schedules no longer function and/or my User
Codes no longer unlock the door.
It is difficult to lose the lock programming. For exam-
ple, when replacing batteries, to erase the entire pro-
gram, you actually need to disconnect the batteries
and press and hold a keypad button for several sec-
onds.
However, upon disconnecting the batteries, if a key is
accidentally pressed, the lock may lose its time / date
information. In this case, simply turn to page 48 and
follow the procedure for the "Right-Click Menu > Up-
date Date / Time in Lock".
If upon disconnecting the batteries, you accidentally
hold down a key for several seconds and indeed lose
the lock programming, the solution is to re-discover
the lock and re-download the program. See section
"Discovering / Assigning Wireless Locks" on page
13. Note: Keep in mind that although this physical
lock has lost its programming, both DL-Windows and
the Gateway still consider the state of the physical
lock as unchanged (still powered up, assigned and in
operation). The following popup will appear upon
attempted re-assignment of the lock.
Note: Re-Linking the lock is not required.
GATEWAY HIGHLIGHTED RED
(UNREACHABLE)
How do I re-establish communication with a Gateway
that is highlighted in red (unreachable)?
A working Gateway (discovered on the network,
added to an Account and operational) is highlighted
blue in the Gateway Configuration screen. When a
working Gateway has subsequently lost communica-
tion with the network, the Gateway is highlighted red
in the Gateway Configuration screen.
To re-establish a connection to the Gateway, click to
select the red highlighted Gateway in the list, then
click Actions > Relocate Gateways (Displayed in
red). See page 28 for detailed information about re-
establishing a connection.
COMPUTER CRASH!
My computer running DL-Windows just crashed! I
had a working system, complete with wireless locks,
Gateways and a computer running DL-Windows--but
that computer no longer works! What do I do?
The Gateways and wireless locks are still up and run-
ning, and therefore they still hold the configuration
data (its internal lock designation, a specific radio
channel and security data) necessary to get your sys-
tem working. The data may be retrieved from the
Gateways using a new copy of DL-Windows on a new
PC (assuming you are in possession of the Security
Password). Refer to page 23, Gateway Configura-

Locks to rebuild your database.
TROUBLESHOOTING (cont'd)
52 DL-WINDOWS™ for Networx™ V5 USER'S GUIDE
ACCESS = Entry into a restricted area.
ASSIGN = Add to hardware or specify a relationship.
Can be used with User Codes and locks ("to assign
User Codes to specific locks"), or with hardware
identification ("the factory assigns each lock a unique
serial number"), or a fixed wireless communication
channel between locks and a Gateway ("locks
assigned to a Gateway").
AUDIT TRAIL = A date/time stamped log of previous
lock events.
CLOCK
• REAL TIME CLOCK = An accurate built-in clock
that 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.
CODE = Numeric sequence of numbers (such as: 1234)
entered at the keypad. If Star-Enter-Key is required,
must be followed by a [:] key.
COM PORT = A computer serial communications port
used to communicate with the Lock and/or Data
Transfer Module.
COMMUNICATE = To send or receive a transmission.
To avoid the directionally confusing terms of
"download" and "upload", the word "communicate" is
used in this guide.
CONFIGURE = To "assign" (add) discovered physical
locks to a Gateway (by sending the "Lock Config
Table" to the selected Gateway). Configuring ensures
a fixed wireless communication channel exists
between selected physical locks and a selected
Gateway.
The Gateway Configuration screen allows you to
select a Gateway and allow that Gateway to discover
physical locks; these physical locks can then be
assigned to that selected Gateway. When the Use
Selected Locks button is clicked (in the
"DISCOVERED LOCKS" POPUP), the Gateway
sends "configuration data" to the selected locks. This
"configuration data" contains items (such as an
internal lock designation, a specific radio channel and
security data) that are all embedded in what is called
a "Lock Config Table". This "configuration data"
instructs the physical lock(s) to communicate ONLY
with that Gateway and prevents other Gateways from
communicating with the physical lock(s).
In short, the Gateway tries to "configure" the selected
physical locks by assigning the selected physical
locks to the Gateway.
CREDENTIAL = A generic word used to indicate a PIN
number pressed into a lock keypad, or a proximity
card or proximity keyfob.
DATA TRANSFER MODULE = A device that permits
transfer of program / data between a computer and
the lock.
DATE = Month, Day and Year entered as MMDDYY.
DAY OF WEEK = Sunday through Saturday.
DEFAULT = "Default" settings are the original settings
that were set at the factory; in other words, it is the
lock's original factory condition when the lock was first
taken out of its box. The default settings are
permanently encoded within the lock's fixed memory,
and when the lock is first started, or when power is
removed and re-applied, the original factory default
settings are re-loaded and take effect.
DELETE = Used interchangeably with "Remove". User
Codes (PINs) and proximity credentials can exist
(occupy a User Number) within the lock programming,
but are removed when "deleted" (thus the entry of a
non-existent PIN does not allow access). Similarly,
when used with DL-Windows Operators and
Administrators, "delete" describes an Operator or
Administrator who's Name, Full Name, Type and
Password was removed from DL-Windows.
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) =
Automatic assignment of IP addresses to devices that
are connected to a network. It eliminates having to
manually assign fixed IP addresses.
DISABLE = User Codes (PINs) and proximity credentials
can exist (occupy a User Number) within the lock
programming, but can be rendered inoperative via
Schedule, download or keypad programming (PIN
entry does not allow access). Similarly, when used
with DL-Windows Operators and Administrators,
"disable" describes an Operator or Administrator
who's Name, Full Name, Type and Password exist
within DL-Windows but is rendered inoperative.
Contrast with "enable," which means active and
operational.
DISCOVER = To "discover" Gateways, the system
searches for Gateways not yet added to an Account;
to "discover" locks, the selected Gateway searches for
locks not yet assigned to Gateways.
DOWNLOAD = See COMMUNICATE.

EMERGENCY COMMANDS = For use only with the
Trilogy Networx wireless network, wireless commands
can be sent to all wireless locking devices in an
Account during a crisis or other urgent situation:
"Emergency Lock Down", to lock all doors in the
Account; "Emergency Passage", to unlock all doors
in the Account; and Emergency Return to Normal",
to revert all assigned locks to the state they were in prior
to the initiation of the Emergency command.
EMERGENCY GROUP = Upon the addition of each
Gateway into an Account, the Gateway is
automatically placed into an Emergency Group
("GROUP A" by default). This is done so that upon
the initiation of an Emergency Command, ALL
Gateways in the Emergency Group (and their
assigned locks) will respond to Emergency
Commands issued from DL-Windows. In addition, the
automatic placement of a new Gateway into an
Emergency Group allows for keypad-initiated
Emergency Commands to lock down an entire system
from a single wireless lock.
ENABLE = See DISABLE
ERASE = See DELETE
EVENTS = Recorded lock activity.
FIRMWARE = The software programming that runs
internally within the physical lock and Gateway
circuitry, containing the instructions that these devices
use to perform their various functions. Firmware can
be updated, if necessary.
FUNCTION (also called Programming Functions) =
The numbers used to program lock features
(enabling/disabling Users, User Groups, Passage
Mode, Schedules, etc.).
GROUP = See EMERGENCY GROUP
GTW Rx = Indicates the radio transmission strength, as
measured between the Gateway to the physical lock.
A higher number indicates stronger signal.
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).
IMPORT = When the Account information stored in DL-
Windows is lost (such as with a stolen laptop)--AND--
the DL-Windows backup files are either non-existent,
inadequate or lost, the "Import" options can be used
to rebuild an existing wireless system using the data
stored inside the onboard memory of the installed
Gateway device(s).
IP ADDRESS = The IP (Internet Protocol) address is a
unique address of a device (such as a computer or a
Gateway) connected to a TCP/IP corporate Intranet.
IP addresses are written as four groups of numbers
separated by periods; these groups are called
"octets". IP addresses can be permanent ("static") or
dynamically assigned (by DHCP) when a device, such
as a Gateway, is powered.
KEYPAD = 10-numeric keys, : and special ;
key.
KEYPAD PROGRAMMING = Ability to program the lock
through the keypad.
KEYPRESS = Pressing a button on the lock’s keypad.
LCK Rx = Indicates the radio transmission strength, as
measured between the physical lock to the Gateway.
A higher number indicates stronger signal.
LINK = In DL-Windows, the word "Link" is used to
describe the specific action of associating a Lock
Profile to the serial number of the physical lock
installed on the door.
LOCATE =
● With physical lock(s), the Locate command
causes the physical lock to "beep" and flash its
LED (helpful when you wish to find the physical
lock or confirm the lock's wireless connection is
operational).
● When used with a Gateway, refers to re-
discovering a "lost" Gateway device on the
network. Used when an operational Gateway has
lost its network connection, and appears
highlighted red in the Gateway Configuration
screen.
LOCK = A generic word used to indicate one of the
many Alarm Lock locking devices that can be
purchased, including devices such as the DK series
keypads that trigger other locking devices.

LOCK CONFIG TABLE = When a Gateway is
"discovered" and added to an Account, DL-Windows
sends a Lock Config Table which contains the
assigned (or unassigned) lock data stored in the
Gateway memory. The table is a database structure
that is designed to hold all physical lock data (serial
numbers, etc.).
LOCK PROFILE = See PROFILE
LOCK ID = Identification of each door with a specific
number--or in other words, a number representing an
individual lock within an Account.
LOCK TYPE = Specifies the model of the Alarm Lock
locking device, such as "PDL6100", "DL6100" or
"PL6100".
LOG = See... AUDIT TRAIL.
PASSAGE = Allow anyone to pass through the door
without a User Code or proximity credential (door is
unlocked).
PHYSICAL = Same as "Real". Tangible, not virtual.
See VIRTUAL.
PROFILE = "Lock Profiles" may also be called "Lock
Programs" or "Virtual Locks". A lock "Profile" can be
thought of as a "virtual" lock, created within DL-
Windows, that contains all of the instructions that a
"real" ("physical") lock uses to perform its various
functions. Use DL-Windows to create a lock "Profile"
on your computer, then transfer and store the "Profile"
in the memory of the "real" lock. The lock "Profile" is
essentially a computer database file that maintains
User Codes, Features, Time Zones and Schedules.
When creating these virtual lock Profiles, you are also
designing the entire virtual system--conceptualizing
which doors will have which locks, adding User
names and allowing or restricting access to the virtual
locks by the various Users in the Account.
PROXIMITY CREDENTIAL = See CREDENTIAL
PROGRAM MODE = A mode allowing program/data to
be entered through the keypad. Only specific Users
can program a lock manually, by entering their USER
CODE, followed by the ; key. To exit program
mode, hold any key until repeated beeps are heard.
PROXIMITY CARDS = See CREDENTIAL.
REAL = Same as "Physical". Tangible, not virtual. See
VIRTUAL.
SCHEDULE = A programmed operation (enable /
disable, lock / unlock, etc.) on a specific day (Sunday
through Saturday) and time.
SUBNET (SUBNETwork) = To improve security and
processing performance, network administrators often
divide their corporate Intranets into interconnected but
separate segments called "subnets". Subnets also
allow multiple users to access the Intranet with the
same subnet address. A router is typically used to
allow network traffic to pass between subnets.
SUBNET MASK = The IP protocol makes use of a
Subnet Mask to more efficiently route packets to their
correct network destinations. When a Gateway
receives a data packet, the Subnet Mask indicates
how many bits of the packet's destination address are
to be used for routing and which bits are to be
"masked" (ignored). The Subnet Mask can be
thought of as a "filter" that allows the system to ignore
unnecessary information, thus increasing efficiency.
This information must be obtained from your network
administrator.
TIME = Hours and Minutes in the HHMM format.
TIME/DATE STAMP = A recorded date and time that an
event occurred.
TIMEOUT = Immediate operation for a specified number
of hours.
TYPE = See LOCK TYPE.
UPLOAD = See COMMUNICATE.
USER = A person that has their personal information
typed into the Global Users screen, and is assigned
a User Code (PIN) or proximity credential (where
applicable). This User is then added to (enabled
within) Lock Profiles, as necessary.
VIRTUAL = Simulated on a computer. DL-Windows
allows you to create a "Lock Profile" that can be
thought of as a "virtual" lock, created within DL-
Windows, that contains all of the data that a
"real" (physical) lock uses to perform its various
functions. When creating these "virtual" lock Profiles,
you are also designing the entire "virtual" system--
conceptualizing which doors will have which locks,
adding User Names and allowing or restricting access
to the virtual locks by the various Users in the
Account. Later, you will "Link" these lock Profiles with
the real locks installed on the doors.
