Trilogy Networx™ Wireless Setup & DL-Windows Configuration Instructions 1
OVERVIEW
Used with the Trilogy Networx 6100, 6500, ETDLN and
ETPDLN series door locks, DL-Windows version 4.0.0
software (or later) allows you to upload and download
programming features wirelessly using a computer net-
work. With "wireless" communication, the various ca-
bles and/or an AL-DTM Data Transfer Module are NOT
required to transfer data between DL-Windows and the
wireless locks. With a few clicks of the mouse, you can
use your computer to retrieve logs, download User
Codes and program features into and out of each wire-
less lock in the system.
DL-Windows software is installed on a computer that is
connected to a network (either a small Ethernet network
or large corporate LAN). Connected to this network is
an intermediate device called a Gateway that communi-
cates via a private wireless signal to a radio located in-
side each door lock. In this way, the software allows full
programming and control of each lock in the system.
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
WI1790). 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.
Keeping complete and accurate records saves time be-
cause after the wireless network is set up, any program-
ming 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-
ited number of Accounts. In addition, each Networx
lock can contain up to 5000 Users!

MINIMUM WIRELESS SYSTEM
As shown in the overview drawings on page 1, 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 home router (to allow connection to a
computer network), and an Alarm Lock Gateway mod-
ule (the intermediary between the network and the
locks). Although you can set up the wireless network
first and add locks to the doors later, for the sake of
convenience it is recommended that you have at least
one Networx lock installed on a door before setting up
your wireless system.
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.
HOW TO USE THIS MANUAL
DL-Windows software is the basis for wireless lock
programming. For those unfamiliar with using DL-
Windows software, stop here and review the DL-
Windows User Guide (OI237). It may be helpful to cre-
ate a "test" Account in DL-Windows while walking
through the examples presented in this User Guide and
in OI237.
If you are already familiar with DL-Windows, the transi-
tion 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 Guide (OI362). This manual can be read from be-
ginning to end, or can be used with the index as a refer-
ence manual.
To install locks on the doors first, use the Installa-
tion Instructions for the lock model you wish to in-
stall, then use the keypad Programming Instructions
to put the locks into use.
To set up the wireless network system and con-
nect the network to DL-Windows, go to the "Start
Here" section on page 4.

DL-WINDOWS SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
The DL-Windows application has been tested and ap-
proved for an IBM-compatible P4 1.6GHz computer with
256MB RAM and a minimum of 100MB of hard drive
space running Microsoft Windows 98, 2000 or XP with
one unused RS-232 Serial Communications port (COM
1-4) required. If a COM port is unavailable, please con-
tact customer support for one of our USB adapters
(MX1130 or ALPCI2-U). Depending on your system de-
mands, a slower PC may function properly but with sig-
nificant user interface problems, including long intervals
for the system to respond.
Important: DL-Windows is not a client-server applica-
tion (i.e. is not multi-user). The program and its data-
base must be installed and maintained on a single PC.
GATEWAY SPECIFICATIONS
Note: For all Gateway modules, network activity or
bandwidth usage does NOT occur until the user oper-
ates DL-Windows software to send programming to (or
receive log data from) locks. Exception: During the
Emergency Lockdown command, Gateways communi-
cate through the network. Gateways will send less than
1000 bytes during these Emergency commands.

START HERE
This section will help you define the steps required to suit the
specific needs of your installation. Let's start with the big
questions first, because the installation steps that follow de-
pend on your answers. Note: The underlined words are de-
fined in the Terminology section on page 6.
PRELIMINARY QUESTIONS
You may not have answers to the following questions
now, but understand that they are intended to encourage
thought and help evaluate your needs.
Are you planning to use a large Corporate Network
or a smaller network provided by single router?
Smaller networks permit the dynamic assignment of IP
addresses by DHCP; larger networks may require
static (fixed) IP addresses be reserved by your net-
work administrator.
Will you use "Emergency Commands"?
Three Emergency Commands are available in your
wireless system: "Global Lock Down" locks all doors
in the system; "Global Passage" unlocks all doors in
the system; "Return to normal" exits these Emer-
gency Commands. Emergency Commands will NOT
work if you use DHCP (static IP addresses are re-
quired).
Will your Gateways need to communicate across
multiple Subnets?
To improve security and processing performance, net-
work administrators often divide their corporate Intra-
nets into interconnected but separate segments called
"subnets".
If the answer to ANY ONE of the above questions is
"yes", we recommend static IP addresses be re-
served for exclusive use by your Gateways. If the
answers are "no" for all of the questions, and you want to
use a smaller network provided by a router, you can as-
sign static IP addresses yourself using the instructions
that came with your router; if you want to use a corporate
network, you must contact your network administrator to
have static IP addresses reserved for your use.
SUBNETS
Use the following information when installing multiple wire-
less Networx Gateways within a corporate Intranet that
contains multiple "subnets".
To improve security and processing performance, corpo-
rate Intranets are often divided into interconnected but
separate segments called "subnets". The IP (Internet Pro-
tocol) address is a unique address of a device (such as a
computer or a Gateway) connected to a TCP/IP corporate
Intranet.
DL-Windows can only Discover Gateways when the Gate-
ways are connected to the same subnet to which DL-
Windows is also connected.
IP addresses are written as four groups of numbers sepa-
rated by periods; these groups are called "octets". IP ad-
dresses can be permanent ("static") or dynamically as-
signed (by DHCP) when a device, such as a Gateway, is
powered.
Class B Subnets
Some corporate Intranets contain multiple "Class B" sub-
nets; the "Class B" refers to the octet that does not
change, if naming each octet from left to right. An exam-
ple of two "Class B" subnets where the first two octets of
each network IP address remain the same are:
A B C D
Subnet 173.16.100.xxx
Subnet 173.16.200.xxx
In this example, the "A" and "B" octets "173" and "16" are
the same within the network. (Note: The "xxx" is a way of
showing a variable number).
As shown in the image above, if the computer running DL-
Windows is connected to the first subnet (173.16.100.
xxx), and several Gateways are connected to the second
subnet (173.16.200.xxx), DL-Windows will ONLY be able
to communicate with the Gateways on the second subnet
when:
ALL Gateways use only static IP addresses, and
The network administrator allows for open addressing
between the two subnets in the network
The network administrator may decide to use routing ta-
bles or may specify blocks of addresses through which the
two subnets can freely communicate in both directions.
Regardless of the method selected, your network
administrator must determine the range of network
addresses to assign to the Gateways and to the DL-
Windows computer. As shown below, three address
fields must be obtained from your network administrator:
IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Default Gateway.
We recommend using static IP addresses
We recommend using static IP addresses for each Gate-
way you install because they have the following advan-
tages:
DL-Windows software performs more smoothly be-

cause the software does not have to waste time re-
locating Gateways that have had their IP addresses
changed by DHCP;
Static IP addresses allow operation across subnets in
large corporate networks (such as those that exist be-
tween buildings);
Static IP addresses allow Emergency Commands (such
as "Emergency Lockdown") to be used (see Emer-
gency Commands on page 46);
Contact the Network Administrator
If you know that you will install your wireless Networx sys-
tem within a large corporate network that includes multi-
ple subnets, we recommend you start by contacting the
corporate network administrator and request the follow-
ing:
IP Address - An address for each Alarm Lock Gateway
device
___________________________________________
Subnet Mask - Filtering data (mask bits) as required by
the aforementioned IP Address
___________________________________________
Default Gateway - The address of the physical device,
such as a router, for the current subnet to which DL-
Windows will be connected
___________________________________________
ASSIGNING STATIC IP ADDRESSES
TO GATEWAYS
DL-Windows can only Discover Gateways when the Gate-
ways are connected to the same subnet to which DL-
Windows is also connected. To allow DL-Windows resid-
ing on one subnet to communicate with Gateways located
on a second subnet (with both subnets located within a sin-
gle network) a typical installation strategy is:
1. Estimate the number of Gateways needed in the instal-
lation.
2. Install DL-Windows on a PC connected to the first sub-
net (for example, plug the PC into a wall network outlet
the network administrator confirms is wired to the first
subnet).
3. Open DL-Windows and create a new (or open an exist-
ing) Account.
4. Power up a Gateway and connect the Gateway to the
same (first) subnet to which DL-Windows is connected
(in the example above, "173.16.100.xxx"). This connec-
tion to the first subnet may be through a second net-
work socket in the wall, or to a router (or switch) con-
nected to the same network socket in the wall that the
DL-Windows PC is also connected.
5. In DL-Windows, discover the Gateway and Assign the
Gateway to the selected DL-Windows Account.
6. In the Gateway Configuration screen, click Tools,
Configure Network Settings. In the Network Con-
figuration screen, (shown below) uncheck Use DHCP,
and a warning popup appears:
Click Yes to close the warning popup. In the Network
Configuration screen, type the three addresses ob-
tained from your network administrator into the following
three fields:
IP Address
Subnet Mask
Default Gateway
Click Save Configuration and send to Gateway.
7. Physically disconnect (unplug) the Gateway from the
first subnet, physically relocate and plug the Gateway
into the second subnet (in the example above, from
"173.16.100.xxx" to "173.16.200.xxx). Install the Gate-
ways in their final locations.
As stated previously, Emergency Commands require all
Gateways in the system use static IP addresses to
communicate with each other. Therefore, to ensure
Emergency Commands operate correctly, use the fol-
lowing menu item to manually distribute the static IP
addresses of each Gateway (listed within DL-Windows)
to all Gateways in the system.
Click the GW Confg button to open the Gateway Con-
figuration screen. Click Tools, Send IP Table to all
Gateways.
The remaining tasks are to install your locks on the
doors, and have DL-Windows Discover them (as out-
lined in the section CONFIGURING DL-WINDOWS
FOR WIRELESS LOCK USE):
8. Create a virtual lock "Profile" for each lock installed
9. Discover physical locks on the Gateway
10. Assign (add) discovered locks to the Gateway
11. Link lock to a Profile
12. Send Profile to lock.

NETWORK CONFIGURATION SCREEN
Default
6 Trilogy Networx™ Wireless Setup & DL-Windows Configuration Instructions
The following words are used throughout this manual to con-
vey specific concepts and/or actions used in DL-Windows
version 4.0.0 software (or later).
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 wire-
less communication channel between locks and a Gateway
("locks assigned to a Gateway").
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 se-
lected 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 physi-
cal locks by assigning the selected physical locks to the
Gateway.
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) - Software
that automatically assigns IP addresses to devices that
are connected to a network. It eliminates having to
manually assign fixed IP addresses.
Discover - To "discover" Gateways, the system searches for
Gateways not yet assigned to an Account; to "discover"
locks, the selected Gateway searches for locks not yet as-
signed to Gateways.
Download - See Communicate.
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). See the Tools,
Import menu options on page 35 for more information.
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 peri-
ods; 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.
Link - In DL-Windows, the word "Link" is used to describe the
specific action of associating a "virtual 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 wire-
less connection is operational). When used with a Gate-
way, refers to re-discovering a "lost" Gateway device on the
network. Used when an operational Gateway has lost its
network connection, and appears listed in red colored text
on the Gateway Configuration screen.
Lock Config Table - When a Gateway is "discovered" and
added to an Account, DL-Windows sends a Lock Config
Table to the Gateway. This Lock Config Table is stored in
the Gateway memory, and may or may not contain as-
signed physical lock data. The table is a database structure
that is designed to hold the physical lock data (serial num-
bers, etc) when physical locks are "assigned" to the Gate-
way.
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 per-
form 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 creat-
ing 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

Trilogy Networx™ Wireless Setup & DL-Windows Configuration Instructions 7
Terminology
access to the virtual locks by the various Users in the Ac-
count.
Real - Same as "Physical". Tangible, not virtual. See Virtual.
Subnet (SUBNETwork) - To improve security and processing
performance, network administrators often divide their
corporate Intranets into interconnected but separate seg-
ments called "subnets". Subnets also allow multiple us-
ers 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 Sub-
net Mask can be thought of as a "filter" that allows the
system to ignore unnecessary information, thus increas-
ing efficiency. This information must be obtained from
your network administrator.
Upload - See Communicate.
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.

HARDWARE INSTALLATION
For a minimum wireless system, you need:
A laptop or desktop computer (to run DL-Windows)
A wired or wireless home router (to allow connec-
tion to a computer network)
An Alarm Lock Gateway module (the intermediary
device between the network and the locks)
Note: Before proceeding, you should have a working
knowledge of DL-Windows. See the DL-Windows
User Guide (OI237) for basic information such as
how to install and open DL-Windows, how to create
Accounts, how to add Profiles to Accounts, etc.
1. Install the DL-Windows software into your com-
puter as described in the DL-Windows User Guide
(OI237).
2. Connect your computer to a network
If you want to set up a "small network" with a router,
follow the instructions "Small Network" that follow. If
you want to use a "large network" such as an existing
corporate Ethernet (such as a LAN), skip down to the
"Large Network" section, below.
SMALL NETWORK
You can create your own "small network" by using a
wired or wireless router.
For the connection between your computer and
the router, most laptops and some desktop com-
puters contain a wireless network card (also called a
"wireless network interface controller") to allow for
wireless communication between your computer and
a wireless router; if your computer does not have a
wireless network card, you can usually connect the
"non-wireless" network card in your computer to the
router using an double-ended RJ-45 to RJ-45 (8P8C)
Ethernet cable.
LARGE NETWORK
If you have access to a "large network" such as an
existing corporate Ethernet network (such as a LAN),
connecting to a network may be as simple as plug-
ging your computer into an RJ-45 wall jack. In this
case, you may wish to contact the Ethernet network
administrator and inform them as to your plans.
For the connection between your computer and a
large Ethernet network, most laptops and some
desktop computers contain a wireless network card
(also called a "wireless network interface controller")
to allow for wireless communication between your
computer and a this large network. Contact the net-
work administrator for this kind of wireless connec-
tion.
For computers without a wireless network card, con-
nect the "non-wireless" network card in your com-
puter to the network as follows: Connect one end of
the Ethernet cable to the computer network card RJ-
45 socket (usually located at the back of your com-
puter); connect the other end of the cable to the RJ-
45 socket at a wall jack or a modem that is part of the
corporate Ethernet network / LAN. Note that wall
jack or modem access points usually need to be con-
figured first by the network administrator before the
network will allow a connection.
3. The Network Connection to the Gateway
The connection between the network (the router or
the existing corporate Ethernet network) and the
Gateway device may be either directly wired using
an Ethernet cable --or--wirelessly via 802.11x trans-
missions, as shown in the illustrations below:
Remember, the Gateway device will eventually be
mounted on a wall or in a ceiling; therefore a wired
network connection to the Gateway device is rela-
tively straightforward because once you plan the final
location of the Gateway and you plan the physical
location of the network connection, the only remain-
ing task is to run a wire between these locations.
The instructions for the wired connection are in the
next section; for wireless connection instructions,
skip to the "Wireless Network Connection to the
Gateway" section below.
Wired Network Connection to the Gateway
The double-ended Ethernet cable is used to connect
the network to any of the 3 Gateway models. Sim-
ply plug one end of the Ethernet cable into the net-
work Router or a network wall socket (at any location
within the premises) or network modem. Then con-
nect the other end of the Ethernet cable into the

Gateway module. Now skip to step 4 below, and
read about the importance of selecting a favorable
Gateway mounting location and signal strength con-
siderations.
Wireless Network Connection to the Gateway
This wireless connection will only work with a
"Hardwired/Wireless" Gateway model AL-IM80211.
To ensure a fixed wireless communication channel
exists between the network and the Gateway, you
must first temporarily connect the network to the
Gateway with an Ethernet cable.
Why? When the Gateway is first powered, the very
first thing the Gateway tries to do is obtain an IP Ad-
dress--from anywhere. If an installation takes place
in a facility that contains several active networks
(and/or active routers), there is a possibility that an
unknown network (or router) will provide the Gateway
with an IP address outside the network you want to
use.
The solution is to temporarily connect the desired
network to the Gateway with the double-ended
Ethernet cable. This temporary wired connection en-
sures that all network settings (that you want to use)
are sent DIRECTLY into the Gateway, thus ensuring
that the Gateway device will ONLY communicate with
that specific router or network.
3a. Connect the network to the Gateway with an
Ethernet cable. Plug one end of the Ethernet ca-
ble into the network Router or a network wall
socket (at any location within the premises) or
network modem. Connect the other end of the
cable to the Gateway module.
3b. Open DL-Windows. Create a new Account or
select an existing Account. Add a New Lock Pro-
file to the Account. In the New Lock Profile
screen, select a Networx "Lock Type" (for ex-
ample "DL6100"). Click the GW Confg button.
For all new Accounts and existing Accounts with-
out passwords, a popup appears requesting that
you set a "Security Password". For existing Ac-
counts with Passwords, this popup will not ap-
pear, therefore jump to step "3c" below.
The above popup appears because there must
be a way for DL-Windows to differentiate be-
tween separate wireless Accounts. For example,
if a large office building has one company on the
15th floor and another company on the 16th floor,
radio signals can overlap from these two sepa-
rate Accounts. How does DL-Windows prevent
this confusion between wireless signals? The
answer is to require a unique "Security Pass-
word" for each Account that contains wireless
locks, and to embed that password within the ra-
dio transmissions. (Click OK to close this
popup).
On the DL-Windows main screen, click Tools,
Set Security Password, and the Set Security
Password dialog appears:
Important: Do NOT share passwords between Ac-
counts, otherwise the radio signals can become inter-
mixed! Be sure you record--in writing--all Account
passwords in a safe location; once set, passwords are
NOT retrievable from DL-Windows! Changing a pass-
word in a wireless system requires all wireless locks in
the Account to be manually cleared of all data and re-
enrolled.
Note: The password must be exactly 6 characters (no
more--no less) in length. Retype the same password in
the Confirm field; click OK to save the password, or
click Cancel to exit without saving. Click OK and a
confirmation popup appears:
Click OK to close the above popup, then click the GW
Config button to open the Gateway Configuration
screen.

cover New Gateways And Auto Add to Account
button:
A Discover New Gateways popup appears.

Click Yes and DL-Windows searches the network;
since the Gateway has this direct (albeit temporary)
wired connection to the network, DL-Windows will find
this Gateway, and will add the Gateway to the current
Account. The Gateway will then be listed in the Gate-
way Configuration Screen grid. The following image
is an example of what will appear:
3d. Click on this "New Gateway 1" to select this Gateway.
Write down the IP Address and MAC Address shown.
IP Address _______________________________
MAC Address ____________________________
3e. Click Tools, Configure Network Settings, and the
Network Configuration screen appears:
If using DHCP:
From the Wireless Mode pull-down, click Wireless
Only.
Type the network name in the Network Name (SSID)
field. For more information, refer to the setup guide for
the router being used.
From the pull-down, select the appropriate Network
Type being used, in most cases it will be Infrastruc-
ture.
Select the appropriate Channel Number for which the
router is set. - For more information, refer to the setup
guide for the router being used.
By default, Wireless Network Security is disabled.
We recommend to use "MAC Address Filtering" for se-
curity if your router supports this feature. If Wireless
Network Security is desired, refer to the router setup
for wireless security.
If NOT using DHCP:
If you are using Static IP Addresses, refer to the router
setup guide for static IP address setup information.
3f. Disconnect the Ethernet cable from the network Router
(or network wall socket) and also from the Gateway
module.
Gateway ID Card
We recommend that when installing the Gateway, a
blue-colored "Gateway ID Card" be completed. Since
Gateways are often installed in ceilings or other hidden
locations, their physical locations may be easily forgot-
ten. This ID card may prove very useful when replacing
Gateways, or when selecting a Gateway to use to dis-
cover locks, or whenever an installed Gateway needs to
be physically located.
4. Mounting the Gateway module
A Gateway module acts as an interface between a com-
puter network and the Networx wireless locks.
Gateway Mounting Location
Give careful consideration to the location of the Gateway
when planning the layout of the system. Gateways
should be mounted in elevated areas (such as drop ceil-
ings), and should be centrally located within the sepa-
rate lock installations. Select a convenient location that
allows access to an AC outlet (to plug in the Gateway
supply transformer for models AL-IM80211 and AL-IME)
and allows access to the RJ-45 Ethernet cable running
from the Gateway to the router/network. You can plan
for a single Gateway to cover a circle several hundred
feet in diameter, greater within open areas without walls.
Choose a location as high above ground level as practi-
cal (home attic installations are not recommended),
keeping in mind that metal objects may adversely affect
reception. It may be helpful to draw a layout of the sys-
tem, identifying all proposed Gateway locations and the
anticipated door locations. Also include notations indi-
cating construction materials in use. Although wood and
wallboard construction will have little effect upon signal
strength at the lock, concrete or brick can reduce signal
strength by up to 35%, while steel-reinforced concrete or
metal lath and plaster can reduce Gateway transmitter
strength as much as 90%.
All Gateway models should be mounted vertically on
either a wall or ceiling. Horizontal "flat" mounting of the
Gateway enclosure should be specifically avoided.
Note: In difficult installations wherein distant Gateways
pose reception problems, the use of multiple gateways
throughout the premises is recommended.
Signal Strength
After the Gateway is mounted, a special test tool will be
available to test the signal strength received at a given

door before installing the lock. We supply a "Class 2"
6V power supply (never substitute power supplies; use
only the supplied unit) that is wired to the terminal strip
located on the Gateway PC board. Wiring is non-
polarized, so connect either wire to either of the two ter-
minals.
First Time Gateway Power Up
When the Gateway is first powered, the red light flashes
slowly (about once every 2 seconds), indicating the unit
is looking for a valid IP address (unit may take up to 90
seconds to find a valid address). If the unit finds a valid
IP address prior to 90 seconds, the red light flickers.
If the unit does not obtain a valid IP address after 90
seconds, the flashing rate increases to one flash per
second, and will attempt to find an IP address later.
The one flash per second flash rate indicates the Gate-
way is "configured". At this point you can reset the GW:
Reset the Gateway
At this point, the Gateway is mounted and connected to
the router (or the network) with the RJ-45 cable. Apply
power to the Gateway and the red light flashes slowly,
about once every 2 seconds. Before securing the Gate-
way housing cover, reset the Gateway memory--even if
the Gateway has never been used. Press and hold the
"RESET" button and the red light turns on continuously;
continue to hold the button and the red light will start to
flicker. Release the button and the red light will continue
to flicker.
"Resetting" the Gateway clears all memory and ensures
that any residual voltage or test data existing from the
factory is cleared from the unit. Always reset the Gate-
way for new installations; you can also reset the Gate-
way anytime after the Gateway is powered. Secure the
Gateway housing cover with the screws provided.
12 Trilogy Networx™ Wireless Setup & DL-Windows Configuration Instructions
CONFIGURING DL-WINDOWS FOR
WIRELESS LOCK USE
Now that the wireless network hardware is installed, you can
use DL-Windows to design your "virtual" system.
The following list are the simplified steps required in DL-
Windows to get a minimum system (one Gateway and one
lock) up and running. These numbered steps correspond with
the detailed procedures that follow:
1. Create a new Account
2. Create a virtual lock "Profile"
3. Discover the Gateway
4. Add ("Assign") the Gateway to an Account
5. Discover physical locks on the Gateway
6. Assign (add) discovered locks to the Gateway
7. Link lock to a Profile
8. Send Profile to lock
It may be helpful to create a "test" Account in DL-Windows
while walking through the procedures below; later you can al-
ways go back and create a separate Account that accurately
reflects a genuine installation.
1. Create a new Account.
Technically, an "Account" is a DL-Windows computer
database file that allows you to organize and maintain
multiple lock installations. But in practical terms, an Ac-
count is often named after the building or company loca-
tion in which a lock or multiple locks have been installed.
For example, the Account Name might be "Overbrook
Hospital" and listed in that Account are the 4 locks you
just installed on the 7th floor. In DL-Windows, Accounts
can be created, edited, cloned and deleted. The benefit
of an Account is that it allows you to add the name of a
User ONCE and then assign that User to multiple locks
within a building, rather than having to enter and re-enter
the same User information again and again for each lock
in the Account. Enter the name of the User once in the
Global Users screen, then sit back and assign that User
to the locks you wish, with just a few clicks of the com-
puter mouse.
Double-click the DL-Windows shortcut, or click Start,
Programs in Windows to find and start the DL-Windows
software. The DL-Windows main screen opens (see
"DL-WINDOWS MAIN SCREEN" image).
(For new installations, a popup appears with directions).
First click OK to clear the popup, then, as directed by the
popup, use your mouse to right-click anywhere in this
white box (the "Account Tree" area at the left), and select
New Account. The New Account dialog opens.
Enter New Account Description
Enter the New Account Description in the field shown
in the "NEW ACCOUNT DIALOG" image. The Account
Description will typically be the name of the company or
facility where a lock(s) will be installed. Note that existing
Accounts from previous installations are also displayed.
Click OK to create this new Account.
(If you wish to delete an Account, right mouse-click the
name of the Account and select Delete Account from
the menu. A warning popup will appear, and click Yes to
confirm, and click No to cancel).
2. Create new virtual "lock Profiles" (also 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 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 lock memory. The lock
Profile is essentially a computer database file that
maintains User Codes, Features, Time Zones and
Schedules.
New Lock Profile
After clicking OK in the New Account dialog, a popup
appears asking if you would like to create a new lock
Profile. Click Yes, and the New Lock Profile dialog ap-
pears (see the "NEW LOCK PROFILE SCREEN" im-
age).
Type the description of the new lock, which will typically
be the name of the room in the facility that the lock is se-
curing. Select the Type of Lock to be programmed from
the drop-down list (for example, the 6100 series). When
finished, click OK. After a few seconds, the new Profile
is created and DL-Windows automatically opens the
Global Users screen. Note: To add a new lock to an

existing Account, first open any existing lock in the Ac-
count, then right-click in the white column and select
New Lock. The Number of Locks to Create? field al-
lows you to create multiple locks of the same lock type.
You can also duplicate ("clone") locks.
Using the Global Users Screen
You can always open the Global Users screen with the
Global button (see the "GLOBAL USERS SCREEN"
image). Programming of User Codes, Programmable
Features and Schedules can now begin. Note: The
screens that display on StartUp can be selected under
Options (click the Opt button).
The Global Users screen is used to enter User informa-
tion and to assign Users to specific locks. User lists can
be imported from other DL-Windows Accounts or from
comma delimited formatted lists. Administrative Users
can be accessed through the Global Users screen via
the Add Administrative Users button.
Add Users and User Codes
As shown in the "ADD USERS AND USER CODES"
image, type the first and last name of a User in the User
Information Fields, and enter the remaining personal in-
formation as needed. Note that the names entered in
the First Name and Last Name fields also appear in the
User Name list. Note: A specific PIN Number ("User
Code") may be typed in the Pin No. field for each User --
or-- random User Codes may be auto-generated for one
or many Users by right-clicking in the User Name list. In
addition, a Custom Field (located under the Pin No. field)
allows a customized field of up to 15 characters. This
field is set in the Options screen (click the Opt button)
and once changed remains identical for all locks in all
Accounts.
Note: The ID column in the User Name list is used for
identifying Users in this screen only and is NOT associ-
ated with positions in the Lock Data screen. If you wish,
this column may be hidden using the Options screen
(click the Opt button and uncheck "Show Global User
ID's").
The LockID Grid displays LockID numbers and is color-

red and back to white again) thus adding, disabling or
removing a User as needed. In this way, the LockID
Grid can be used to add a User to any lock in an Ac-
count. One or multiple Users can also be added to one
or more locks via the right-click menu in the User Name
list.
Select a Range of Users
To select a range of Users, click to select the first User,
press and hold the SHIFT key, then click the last User in
the range (you can also press CTRL and click individual
Users). Within the range of Users highlighted, right-click
in the highlighted area to display the menu as shown in
the "SELECT A RANGE OF USERS" image. Click a
selected action in the menu to perform the action for the
selected Users.
Random User Code Generation
Random User Codes may be generated for one or many
Users. (Note: To avoid User Number conflicts, it is rec-
ommended to first assign specific User Codes to Users
before selecting random User Code generation). To
generate random Codes, press and hold the CTRL key,
click the right arrow ("") located to the left of the User
Name to select each User(s), then right-click and select
"Generate Selected New Codes". You can select a
range of Users (as described above) and click Generate
All New Codes to create new codes for all Users.
Administrative Users
The Add Administrative Users button displays the Set
Administrative Users screen. Administrative Users are
the same for all locks within an Account. Enter informa-
tion the same way as if adding a basic User.
3. Discover new Gateways.
4. Add ("Assign") the Gateway to an Account
Note that steps 3 and 4 are listed together because
these two tasks can be performed with one button, as
you will see.
Upon clicking the GW Confg button, a popup appears:
(if this popup does not appear, skip to the section "Using
the Gateway Configuration Screen").
This popup appears because there must be a way for
DL-Windows to differentiate between separate wireless
Accounts. For example, if a large office building has one
company on the 15th floor and another company on the
16th floor, radio signals can overlap from these two

If you attempt to discover Gateways in an Account, and
new Gateways are found within radio range but are al-
ready in use within another Account, the following popup
appears:
Using the Gateway Configuration Screen
Click the GW Confg button to open the Gateway Con-
figuration screen (see the "GATEWAY CONFIGURA-
TION SCREEN" image).
This management screen is the focal point of the DL-
Windows wireless system. With this screen you can add
new Gateways, search for locks, check system status,
and control the most common aspects of the system
hardware--with just a few clicks of the computer mouse.
To start the process of adding Gateways into the Ac-
count, click the Discover New Gateways And Auto
Add to Account button.
Note that this one button combines two actions--the
"discovering the Gateway(s)" action, and the "adding the
Gateway(s) to the current Account" action.
A Discover New Gateways popup appears; click Yes
and DL-Windows searches the network and lists the
Gateways that are found in the grid shown in the
"GATEWAY CONFIGURATION SCREEN" image.
For each Gateway, the table displays the Gateway De-
scription, assigned IP Address, the unique MAC Ad-
dress of the Gateway (assigned at the factory), the
Gateway Firmware Version and the number of locks
assigned to the Gateway ("Assigned Locks").
To confirm the status of the Gateway, simply click Tools,
View Gateway Status (see the "VIEW GATEWAY

to warn of the possible malfunction. Green colored fields
indicate the attributes are within acceptable limits as set
by DL-Windows. To exit this screen, click Close. Note:
For new installations, some data may not yet exist, and
therefore several fields may be empty.
5. Discover physical locks on the Gateway
Each Networx lock is identified by a unique serial num-
ber assigned and programmed into the lock firmware at
the factory. To find installed locks, click the GW Confg
button to open the Gateway Configuration screen.
As shown in the "SELECTING A GATEWAY" image,
click to highlight and select the Gateway to which you
want to assign ("add") the installed locks. The Gateway
selected will transmit the discovery request radio signal
to the locks in the vicinity. Only those locks within range
that have not already been configured will respond.
The maximum search time allowed for each discovery
request is 1 minute. To minimize the search time, this
screen allows you to limit the search to a certain quantity
of installed locks. In addition, you can manually stop the
discovery process at any time by pressing the Esc key
on the keyboard. If you know the number of installed
locks to be discovered, select that number and the dis-
covery process will stop the moment that number of
locks are found. If the number of locks selected exceeds
the actual number physically installed, the discovery
process will continue for either a maximum of 1 minute or
until the Esc key is pressed.
Example: If the number selected is 10, but in fact only 8
locks exist, the system may find all 8 locks, but will keep
searching for 10 until the one minute timeout duration
expires--or until the Esc key is pressed.
Click the Number of Locks to Discover pull-down list
and select a number of locks that you want to detect.
Click the Discover Locks On Selected Gateway button
to initiate the search.
The "LOCK DISCOVERED" image displays the results
when one lock was requested to be discovered and one
lock was found:
6. Assign (add) discovered locks to the Gateway
In "LOCK DISCOVERED" example image, a popup
screen entitled "Discovered 1 Locks" appears, indicat-
ing the serial number of the lock, the signal strength and
the lock model.
To assign ("add") the discovered lock serial number(s) to
the selected Gateway, click the check box next to each
lock. To assign, click Use Selected Locks; to exit with-
out assigning ("adding") any locks, click Cancel.
Note: 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 Con-
fig Table". This "configuration data" instructs the physical
lock(s) to communicate ONLY with that Gateway and pre-
vents other Gateways from communicating with the
physical lock(s).
7. Link lock to a Profile.
In DL-Windows, the word "Link" is used to describe the
specific action of associating a "virtual lock" Profile to the
serial number of the physical lock installed on the door.
After clicking Use Selected Locks, a Link Locks popup
appears, asking if you want to link your new locks now
(see LINK LOCKS POPUP). Click Yes to open the
Link/Unlink Lock Profiles screen or click No to cancel.
(see LINK / UNLINK PROFILES image).

DL-WINDOWS TASKS
Add a new lock Profile to an Account
Adding a new lock Profile is a common task in Dl-
Windows, usually performed after creating a new Ac-
count. See page 12, step 1 ("Create a new Account")
and step 2 ("Create new virtual lock Profiles") for step-
by-step instructions.
Delete a lock Profile from an Account
Open the DL-Windows main screen and find the Ac-
count Tree "white box" area listing lock Profiles. Simply
right-click the Profile and click Delete Lock.
Note: Performing this action (clicking Delete Lock)
does not remove programming from the physical lock
because communication between DL-Windows and the
physical lock does not actually occur.
REPLACING HARDWARE
Replacing an existing Router
Remove the existing router and install either a wired
or wireless router as described in its instructions.
For the connection between the computer and the
router, most laptops and some desktop computers con-
tain a wireless network card (also called a "wireless net-
work interface controller") to allow for wireless communi-
cation between your computer and a wireless router; if
your computer does not have a wireless network card,
you can usually connect the "non-wireless" network card
in your computer to the router using an RJ-45 Ethernet
cable.
For the connection from the router to the network,
the router is plugged into an Ethernet network source --
usually either a modem or a wall jack. As shown in the
overview drawing on page 1, with "Large Networks" the
computer may be connected directly to the network
(usually just a wall jack) with an RJ-45 Ethernet cable.
Note: If the computer is connected directly to the net-
work via a wall jack, the Gateway module may also be
connected directly to the network (for example, via an-
other wall jack) at any location within the premises.
Click the GW Confg button to open the Gateway Con-
figuration screen. Click Tools, Select Network
Adapter. The Network Adapter Selection screen that
appears allows you to identify the Ethernet "network in-
terface card" (NIC) you are using inside your computer
to communicate with the Gateway devices in your sys-
tem. Some computers have a printed circuit board that
plugs into the motherboard, other computers have the
network adapter (Ethernet) built into the motherboard,
thus precluding the need for a separate Ethernet card.
Remember, the router or corporate Ethernet network is
connected to this Ethernet adapter with an Ethernet ca-
ble (RJ-45 plug).
Select Ethernet Adapter Click the pull-down menu to
select the IP address of the router or the IP address of
the existing corporate network on which the Gateway is
installed. Click OK to save.
Replacing an existing Gateway
DL-Windows makes it easy to replace an existing Gate-
way device with a new one. Click the GW Confg button
to open the Gateway Configuration screen. Click to
highlight the Gateway in the list that you want to replace,
then click Actions, Replace Gateway with new one.
Be sure to remove power from the old Gateway. See
page 43 for the complete instructions.
Replacing a physical lock
A physical lock is currently installed on a door, is fully
enrolled in the wireless system, but needs to be re-
placed with a new lock on the same door. Proceed as
follows:
Remove the old lock from the door, and install the new
lock as per the installation instructions WI1674. Make
note of the old and new lock serial numbers and have
these numbers available when you use DL-Windows.
In DL-Windows, click the GW Confg button to open the
Gateway Configuration screen. Click to highlight the
Gateway in the list to which the old lock was assigned,
then click Tools, Delete Locks by Serial Number.
The Delete Serial Number(s) screen opens. Check the
old lock's serial number and click the Delete Selected
Serial Number(s) button.
In the Gateway Configuration screen, click the Number
of Locks to Discover pull-down list and select a number
of locks that you want to detect; in this case, you can se-
lect "1" because you are only adding one new lock to the
system. Click the Discover Locks On Selected Gate-
way button to initiate the search.
A popup screen entitled "Discovered 1 Locks" will ap-
pear, indicating the serial number of the new lock, the
signal strength and the lock model of this newly installed
lock.
20 Trilogy Networx™ Wireless Setup & DL-Windows Configuration Instructions
Add the newly discovered lock serial number to the Gate-
way by clicking the check box next to the lock. Click the
Use Selected Locks button.
A Link Locks popup appears asking if you want to link
your new locks now (if the popup does not appear, click
Tools, Link / Unlink Lock Profiles. Click Yes to open
the Link / Unlink Lock Profiles screen.
In the "Available Lock Profiles" field, click the Profile
assigned to the lock that is being replaced, and click the
serial number of the newly installed lock in the

main screen, click to highlight the lock Profile, then click
the Comm button and click Communicate with current
Network lock). The DL-Windows Network Lock
Comm Screen opens. Check "All" and click the Start
Communication button. When communication is com-
plete, click the Close button.
I moved a lock from one door to another door,
but now the lock is out of range of its Gate-
way...what do I do?
This procedure can be described as simply deleting a
lock from its existing Gateway and re-discovering the
lock on another Gateway (within range of the lock's new
location).
If you need to install and add a new Gateway to the sys-
tem, see "Adding a new Gateway to an existing sys-
tem" further in this section.
First, delete the lock serial number from the Gateway to
which it is currently assigned. The yellow Lock ID Card
with the lock's serial number can be used for operations
of this kind. In the Gateway Configuration screen,
click Tools, Delete Locks by Serial Number. In the
Delete Serial Number(s) screen, check the serial num-
ber of the lock (the lock that was moved from one door
to another), then click the Delete Selected Serial Num-
ber(s) button.
Next, re-discover the lock serial number on another
Gateway. Click the GW Confg button to open the Gate-
way Configuration screen. Click to highlight a Gate-
way in the list that is closer to the lock's new location,
then click Actions, Discover Locks on Selected Gate-
way.
A popup screen entitled "Discovered 1 Locks" will ap-
pear, indicating the serial number of the re-discovered
lock, its signal strength and lock model.
Add the re-discovered lock serial number to the Gateway
by clicking the check box next to the lock. Click the Use
Selected Locks button.
A Link Locks popup appears asking if you want to link
your new locks now (if the popup does not appear, click
Tools, Link / Unlink Lock Profiles. Click Yes to open
the Link / Unlink Lock Profiles screen.
In the "Available Lock Profiles" field, click the Profile
previously assigned to the lock that was re-discovered,
and click the serial number of this lock in the "Available
Lock(s) By Serial Number" field.
After linking, a Send Profile to Lock Now popup auto-
matically appears requesting if you wish to send the lock
Profiles to the physical lock (if the Send Profile to Lock
Now popup does not appear, go to the DL-Windows
main screen, click to highlight the lock Profile, then click
the Comm button and click Communicate with current
Network lock). The DL-Windows Network Lock
Comm Screen opens. Check "All" and click the Start
Communication button. When communication is com-
plete, click the Close button.
ADDING NEW HARDWARE
I just finished installing a new wireless lock
on a door. How do I add this new wireless
lock to my existing wireless system?
In theory, after installing the lock on the door, you would
want to use a Gateway in the system that is physically
closest to the new lock installation; the closer the Gate-
way, the better the radio signal between the lock and the
Gateway.
To ensure you select the "closest" Gateway, it is useful
to make note of all Gateway locations in the system.
But if you do not know which Gateway is closest, you
can discover the lock on each Gateway in turn, writing
down the reported signal strength to each Gateway,
then compare all signal strengths and select the Gate-
way with the strongest signal.
We recommend that when installing the lock on the door
a yellow-colored "Lock ID Card" be completed; the infor-
mation on this card makes it easier when adding new
locks to the system.
For an existing Account, start by creating a new lock
Profile to which this new hardware will eventually be
linked, :
1. Create new virtual lock Profile
Open the DL-Windows. In the main screen, click the
Open button and the Account "white space" opens at
the left, listing all Accounts. Double-click the Account
name into which you want to add this new lock, dis-
playing all lock Profiles in the Account. Notice the
Account name is highlighted in blue. Right-click the
Account name, opening the right-click menu, and
click New Lock(s) Profile. The New Lock Profile
dialog opens.
In the New Lock Profile dialog, type a description of
Normal Tasks (cont'd)
Trilogy Networx™ Wireless Setup & DL-Windows Configuration Instructions 21
the new lock, which will typically be the name of the
room in the facility that the lock is securing. Select
the Lock Type to be programmed from the drop-
down list (for example, the 6100 series), then click
the Number of Locks to Create pull-down menu and
select the number "1". When finished, click OK. Af-
ter a few seconds, the new Profile is created and DL-
Windows automatically opens the Global Users
screen.
2. Discover the new physical lock with the Gateway
Each Networx lock is identified by a unique serial
number assigned and programmed into the lock firm-
ware at the factory. To find installed locks, click the
GW Confg button to open the Gateway Configura-
tion screen.
In the Gateway Configuration screen, click to high-
light and select the Gateway to which you want to as-
sign ("add") the new lock. The Gateway selected will
transmit the discovery request radio signal to the new
lock in the vicinity; if the new lock is within radio
range, the lock will respond.
The maximum search time allowed for each discov-
ery request is 1 minute. To minimize the search time
waiting period, this screen allows you to limit the
search to a certain quantity of installed locks. In addi-
tion, you can manually stop the discovery process at
any time by pressing the Esc key on the keyboard.
Since you know the number of installed locks to be
discovered is "1", in the Number of Locks to Dis-
cover pull-down list, select "1" and the discovery
process will stop the moment "1" lock is found. (If the
number of locks selected exceeds the actual number
within radio range, the discovery process will con-
tinue for either a maximum of 1 minute or until the
Esc key is pressed).
Click the Discover Locks On Selected Gateway
button to initiate the search.
3. Assign (add) discovered locks to the Gateway
A popup screen entitled "Discovered 1 Locks" will
appear, indicating the serial number of the new lock,
its signal strength and lock model. If the serial num-
ber does not appear in this screen, click Close and
try again; if the serial number does not appear after
repeated tries, you may need to stop here and add a
new Gateway to the system (see "Add a new Gate-
way to an existing system" in this section)
In the "Discovered 1 Locks" popup screen, assign
("add") the discovered lock serial number(s) to the
selected Gateway by clicking the check box next to
the lock serial number. Click Use Selected Locks.
4. Link lock to a Profile.
A Link Locks popup appears, asking if you want to
link your new lock now to the Profile created in step
1. Click Yes to open the Link/Unlink Lock Profiles
screen.
The top half of the Link/Unlink Lock Profile(s)
screen contains two fields: "Available Lock Pro-
files" and "Available Lock(s) By Serial Number".
The lock Profile listed in the Available Lock Profiles
field is the same that was created in step 1; click to
select and highlight this lock Profile. In the Available
Lock(s) By Serial Number field, click to select and
highlight the corresponding lock serial number. Click
the Link Lock button to save this link association
within DL-Windows and to add the data to the table
located in the bottom half of the Link/Unlink Lock
Profile(s) screen.
5. Send Profile to lock.
After linking, a Send Profile to Lock Now popup
automatically appears requesting to send the lock
Profile to the physical lock. Click Yes to send the
lock Profile in DL-Windows to the onboard memory
located inside the new physical lock.
The DL-Windows Network Lock Comm Screen
opens.
Check "All" and click the Start Communication but-
ton. The status bar at the bottom of the window will
indicate the communication progress. When commu-
nication is complete, a popup will appear. Click OK
to close the popup, then click Close to close the DL-
Windows Network Lock Comm Screen.
Adding a new Gateway to an existing system.
Make note of the new Gateway's MAC address located
on a square sticker (look under the bar code). It has 12
digits, grouped in 6 pairs separated by dashes.
1. Install the new Gateway.
Use the installation instructions WI1674. Ceiling in-
stallations are typical.
2. Open the DL-Windows.
In the main screen, click the Open button and the Ac-
count "white space" opens at the left, listing all Ac-
counts. Double-click the Account name into which
you want to add this new Gateway.
3. Open the Gateway Configuration screen.
Click the GW Confg button to open the Gateway

"discovering the Gateway(s)" action, and the "adding
the Gateway(s) to the current Account" action.
Now that the new Gateway is added to the Account
in DL-Windows, you can use this new Gateway to
discover locks that have been (or will be) physically
installed on doors.
Resetting the Gateway
"Resetting" the Gateway clears all memory and ensures
that any residual voltage or test data existing from the
factory is cleared from the unit. Always reset the Gate-
way for new installations; you can also reset the Gate-
way anytime after the Gateway is powered. Two levels
of reset exist, a "Partial" reset and "Full" reset, as fol-
lows:
"Partial Reset" clears the Gateway's "Lock Config Ta-
ble"; but if the Gateway was previously programmed for
wireless network communication, this reset leaves the
Gateway in this "wireless" condition. With power applied
to the Gateway, press and hold the "RESET" button and
the red light turns on continuously; continue to hold the
button and the red light will start to flicker. Release the
button and the red light will continue to flicker. The
Gateway is now "Partially Reset".
"Full Reset" returns the Gateway to its factory condition,
clearing the Gateway's "Lock Config Table" and resets
the network selections to its factory default "wired" con-
dition. Continuing from the "Partial Reset" instructions
above, with the red light flickering without any buttons
being pressed...
...With the red light flickering, press and hold the
"RESET" button again and the red light turns on continu-
ously...continue to hold the button and the red light will
start to flicker...continue to hold the button until the red
light turns on continuously...then release the button and
the red light turns off...after a few seconds the red light
will then start to flicker. The Gateway is now "Fully Re-
set".

and lock(s) you wish to assign to the Gateway are selected.
When the Use Selected Locks button is clicked, the Gateway
sends "configuration data" to the selected locks. This
"configuration data" contains items (an internal lock
designation, a specific radio channel and security data) all
embedded in what is referred to as the "Lock Table". This
"configuration data" instructs the physical lock(s) to
communicate ONLY with that Gateway and prevents other
Gateways from communicating with the lock(s).
If after several attempts to communicate with the lock(s), the
Gateway still does not receive confirmation that this
"configuration data" was received from the selected lock(s)
successfully, this popup appears. In short, the Gateway was
unable to "configure" the selected physical locks, and thus
was unable to assign the selected physical locks to the
Gateway.
This popup appears if you attempt to use a selected lock in
the "Discovered Locks" popup that already exists in the Lock
Table of the selected Gateway. Click OK to attempt to
reconfigure by re-sending the "Lock Config Table" to the
selected Gateway.

locks installed in the premises. These Profiles contain the instructions that a real lock uses to perform its various functions
(such as User Codes, Features, Time Zones and Schedules). These instructions are essentially database files that are
stored inside the lock memory circuitry.
To open this screen, click the GW Confg button to open the Gateway Configuration screen. Click to
highlight a specific Gateway in the list, then click Tools, Link/Unlink Lock Profiles. Note: This screen
will automatically open after discovering locks on a Gateway (see the Discover Locks on Selected

Use DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) is enabled
by default. When checked and Save Configuration is clicked,
DL-Windows allows the selected Gateway to accept the
dynamic assignment of an IP address by the TCP/IP network.
Checking Use DHCP eliminates the need to manually assign a
static (fixed) IP address to the Gateway. Uncheck Use DHCP
to manually assign a static IP address to the selected Gateway.
See your network administrator for additional information.
Note: Do not enable when Accounts contain more than one
Gateway (see page 34, "Tools > Send IP Table to Selected
Gateway").

Tools > Configure Network Settings
The Network Configuration screen displays the various networking attributes required for the selected Gateway to work
correctly within the current wireless network. See your network administrator for more information if needed.
Note: For wireless security, because the communications between the network/router and the Gateway conform to the AES
(Advanced Encryption Standard), we recommend leaving the system unsecure, but to use MAC address filtering within the router
software (if your router supports MAC Address filtering). Using
this kind of security is easier to setup and more secure than us-
ing the security protocols (encryption methods) shown within
this screen.
To open this screen, click the GW Confg button to open the Gateway Configuration screen. Click to
highlight a specific Gateway in the list, then click Tools, Configure Network Settings.
Wireless Mode

Subnet Mask
Network Type
Network Name (SSID)
The Gateway module acts as an interface between a computer
network and the Networx wireless locks. Of the two Gateway
models available ("Wired" or "Wireless/Wired"), the "Wireless/
Wired" Gateway model supports connection to a network using
the 802.11 standard. This field allows you to specify the SSID
(Service Set IDentifier) name assigned to the wireless Wi-Fi
(802.11) network. All "Wireless/Wired" 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. In addition, the Wireless Mode
pull-down menu in this screen must be set to Wireless Only
for this field to become active.
DHCP Name
Configures the selected Gateway for either wireless or wired
communication with the computer network. Select either Wired
Only or Wireless Only from this pull-down menu. If Wireless
Only is selected, the Wireless Network fields located in this
screen become active and available for selection.
To aid in locating the Gateway on the network, specify a name
to describe the domain name (host name) of the corresponding
IP Address assigned to the selected Gateway. The DHCP
name entered here will be used for the DNS configuration.
If the Use DHCP (see above) is unchecked, this field allows
the IP address to be manually assigned to the selected
Gateway.
To improve performance, network administrators determine
how best to divide their network. Create more hosts and
fewer subnets or more subnets and fewer hosts? 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).
Use DHCP (see above) must be unchecked before data can
be entered into this field. This information must be obtained
from your network administrator.
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. Use DHCP (see above) must be unchecked before
typing the IP address. This information must be obtained
from your network administrator.
Click this 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. Contact your network
administrator for more information.

For the selected Gateway, 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 as follows:
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 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.
Verifies the origin of transmitted data.
For the selected Gateway, 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 DL-
Windows.
Shared: Requires a shared symmetric numeric code
(encryption "key") for all data transmissions between DL-
Windows and the Gateway.
When WPA or WPA2 Security Type is selected, the option
is:
Pre-Shared Key (PSK): Requires a numeric code
(encryption "key") previously shared between DL-
Windows and the Gateway using a secure channel for
all data transmissions.
A "key" is a numeric code used to encrypt data, and is used
to secure the data traffic between the DL-Windows, the
Gateways and the locks. The key "type" can be a pass-
word, a passphrase, or a hexadecimal string like '45D3
E454 3523 EDC2'. To ease encryption key entry, a pass-
word or passphrase can be entered instead of the cryptic
hexadecimal characters.
The reversible transformation of data from its original for-
mat into a concealed format as a process for securing its
accessibility, authenticity and integrity. Encryption uses an
encryption algorithm (sequence) and one or more encryp-
tion 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 pro-
tocol algorithm that compliments WEP encryption with
increased security measures such as extended key
lengths and data integrity checks.
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 WEP and TKIP. CCMP is a required option for Ro-
bust Security Network (RSN) compliant networks.
TKIP: See above.

Tools > Ping Selected Gateway
The Ping (Packet INternet Groper) network utility is used to test whether the IP address of the Gateway is available on the
network for immediate use. Ping sends a packet out on the network and waits for a response; the result of the ping is indi-
cated in the status bar located at the bottom of the Gateway Configuration screen. A successful test displays the IP ad-
dress of the Gateway with the word "Found"; an unsuccessful test displays "Not Found".

Tools > Send Lock Config Table to Selected Gateway
To open this screen, click the GW Confg button to open the Gateway Configuration screen. Click to
highlight a specific Gateway in the list, then click Tools, Send Lock Config Table to Selected Gateway.
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.
How does the system "Configure"?
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 embedded in the
"Lock Configuration 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, assigning the selected physical locks to the Gateway.
Tools > Send IP Table to Selected Gateway
To open this screen, click the GW Confg button to open the Gateway Configuration screen. Click to
highlight a specific Gateway in the list, then click Tools, Send IP Table to Selected Gateway. You can
also click Send IP Table to all Gateways to send the IP Table to ALL Gateways without the need to high-
light a specific Gateway.
Tools > Send IP Table to all Gateways
The use of the Emergency Commands (see pages 48-50) requires that all Gateways in the system can communicate with each
other. Therefore, for the Emergency Commands to work, these menu items are used to allow the manual distribution of the static
IP addresses of each Gateway (listed within the DL-Windows "IP Table") to all Gateways in the system. Note: These menu
items are only used when more than one Gateway exists in a system.
For systems with only one Gateway, that Gateway can operate with either a static IP address or the dynamic
assignment of an IP address by the TCP/IP network (if you wish, "Use DHCP" can be checked in the Network
Configuration screen; see "Tools > Configure Network Settings" on page 30). Since only one Gateway exists in the
system, that Gateway obviously does not need to maintain the IP addresses of other non-existent Gateways. Therefore,
systems with only one Gateway do not require the use of these menu items.
For systems with more than one Gateway, static IP addresses (listed within the DL-Windows "IP Table") MUST be
distributed and assigned to all Gateways within the system. After all locks are installed and working, and static IP
addresses are assigned to each of the Gateways, click Tools > Send IP Table to Selected Gateway (or click Tools >
Send IP Table to all Gateways) to distribute these Gateway IP addresses to each Gateway in the system.

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
above "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).
Although these two options might never be used, their exis-
tence highlights the vital importance of maintaining safe,
secure and up-to-date DL-Windows backup files. The short
period of time it takes to back up your files may save
HOURS of time trying to re-create and re-build your sys-
tem.
Backup your Accounts
On the DL-Windows main screen, click Tools, Backup Ac-
counts, and DL-Windows will copy all Account database
files into a new or existing "Backup" folder. If you accepted

\Backup. To restore your data, simply copy and paste the
backup files into C:\DL-Windows.
Restoring Data without Backups
If no backups were made for an existing wireless system
and the Account information stored in DL-Windows is lost,
the basic procedure is as follows:
1. Re-install the DL-Windows software.
2. Re-create the Account and all assigned lock Profiles.
In addition, the Global Users screen will need to be
re-populated with all Users.

To open this screen, click the GW Confg button to open the Gateway Configuration screen. Click to
highlight a specific Gateway in the list, then click Actions, Relocate Gateways (Displayed in red).
A working Gateway (discovered on the network, assigned
to an Account and operational) is listed in the Gateway
Configuration screen in blue colored text. When a work-
ing Gateway has subsequently lost communication with the
network and the Gateway Configuration screen is
opened, the Gateway appears listed in red colored text.
If you see a Gateway listed in red, either the network or the
physical Gateway device is responsible. Click to select the
red colored Gateway in the list, then click Actions, Relo-
cate Gateways (Displayed in red) to try to re-discover the
problem Gateway through the network.
If you see a Gateway listed in red, try the following:
1. Check the network. Re-fresh the Gateway Configu-
ration screen by closing and re-opening. If other
Gateways exist in the Account and are listed in blue-
colored text, this indicates that part of the network is
still operational. You may need to contact your net-
work administrator to assist in finding the source of the
network problem.
2. Check your physical connections to the GW device.
The RJ-45 socket on the Gateway contains two
LED's; the green LED should be lit continually
when the RJ-45 plug is inserted and properly con-
nected. The yellow LED flickers when data is be-
ing send to or from the Gateway. If these two
LED's are not functioning, you can suspect the
problem lies with the RJ-45 cable or the network.
Try replacing the RJ-45 cable.
If the RJ-45 socket LED's are operational, remove
the Gateway housing cover and power down and
power up the Gateway by removing and replacing
the power wires at the Gateway power terminals.
Press the "RESET" button on the Gateway PC
board to clear the Gateway memory (turn to page

Terminology Overview
Some Users have the ability to initiate Emergency Com-
mands, and others do not. Some Users have the ability to
unlock a lock during an Emergency Lockdown, and others do
not. Before describing the details of these special abilities, a
short primer on certain terminology is warranted. See the
Terminology section in the DL-Windows User Guide
(OI237) for a detailed description of the terms "User
Codes" and "User Numbers". In short:
User Codes are numbers a User presses into the lock
keypad to unlock a lock. The location of these User
Codes within the lock programming is referred to as a
User Number (called a "Slot" in DL-Windows) and de-
fines the programming abilities of that User Code (and
thus defines the programming abilities of that User).
Schedules are events (recorded lock activities) that are
assigned to occur automatically at specific times. In
DL-Windows, use the "Schedule - TimeZone" screen
to first create an individual block of time called a
"TimeZone" (for example, "9AM to noon weekdays").
A TimeZone is then linked to an event to make a
Schedule (for example, "unlock between 9AM and
noon weekdays").
Who can Initiate Emergency Commands?
By default, DL-Windows programs User Numbers 1-9 to
automatically have the ability to initiate Emergency Com-
mands. In addition, any other User Number (10+) can be
manually added to a special "Emergency Users" list to al-
low them the ability to initiate Emergency Commands.
Three "emergency commands" are available in the wireless
Trilogy Networx system:
"Emergency Lock Down", to lock all doors in the system
"Emergency Passage", to unlock all doors in the system
"Return to normal", to exit emergency commands
These "Emergency" commands can be initiated at any
Networx wireless lock keypad --or-- from DL-Windows via
the Wireless Commands menu. The "Emergency" com-
mands in the Wireless Commands menu are detailed on
pages 48-50; for more information regarding which buttons
to press to initiate these keypad "emergency" commands,
see the keypad Programming Instructions for the keypad in
use. Note: DL-Windows does not need to be running to
allow these "Emergency" commands to be initiated.
Lock Responds to Emergency Commands
All Networx locks are programmed at the factory to re-
spond to and allow the initiation of these "Emergency"
commands. Please note that a Networx lock cannot be
programmed to disallow the initiation of these "Emergency"
commands. In other words, for maximum safety, all Net-
worx locks (that are up and running) are available to initi-
ate "Emergency" commands.
However, DL-Windows DOES allow you to program a spe-
cific lock (or locks) to ignore emergency commands. In
DL-Windows, click the Feat button to open the Program-
Wireless Commands > Set Clock on all Locks
On the DL-Windows main screen, click Wireless Commands, Set Clock
on all Locks to retrieve the current time and date from the computer run-
ning DL-Windows for distribution to all Gateways and all physical wireless
locks in the current Account.

Lock Down, with the following exceptions:
By default, User Numbers 1-9 and all Users listed in the
Emergency Users list are able to unlock a lock during
Emergency Lock Down. Note: All Users (excluding

LOCK TABLE COMM FAILURE
I tried to discover a lock and it returns with a Lock Table
that indicates a "Communications Failure". What to do?
In this case, the Gateway is unable to communicate with the
lock. Be sure the lock is operational (check the batteries
are fresh and plugged into the lock correctly). When
"discovering" a lock, the Gateway sends "configuration
data" in the form of a "Lock Configuration Table" to the se-
lected locks. This "configuration data" contains items--an
internal lock designation, a specific radio channel and secu-
rity data--that are all embedded in the "Lock Configuration
Table". This "configuration data" instructs the physical lock
to communicate ONLY with that Gateway and prevents
other Gateways from communicating with that physical lock.
Try resending the "Lock Configuration Table". Click the GW
Confg button to open the Gateway Configuration screen.
Click Tools, Send Lock Config Table to Selected Gate-
way.
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 running,
and therefore they still hold the configuration data ("Lock
Tables") necessary to get your system working. Retrieve
that data from the Gateways using the "Tools, Import" op-
tions designed for just this kind of situation. Proceed as fol-
lows:
Re-install DL-Windows on another computer (if necessary).
Click the GW Confg button to open the Gateway Configu-
ration screen. Turn to page 35 and read about the Tools,
Import utilities.
BAD SECURITY CODE
A "Bad Security code" popup just appeared...what do I
do?
If you are trying to discover Gateways or locks, and new
Gateways and/or locks are found within radio range but are
already in use within another Account, DL-Windows
"protects itself" by disallowing any Gateways or locks al-
ready in use within another Account by triggering this warn-
ing popup.
There must be a way for DL-Windows to differentiate be-
tween separate wireless Accounts. For example, if a large
office building has one company on the 15th floor and an-
other company on the 16th floor, radio signals can overlap
from these two separate Accounts. How does DL-Windows
prevent this confusion between wireless signals from two
separate Accounts? The answer is to require a unique
"Security Password" for each Account, and to embed that
password within all of the Account's radio transmissions.
This popup is simply warning you that DL-Windows de-
tected a Gateway or a lock already in use within another
Account. Click OK to close this popup. Try re-discovering
the Gateway or the lock (click the GW Confg button to open
the Gateway Configuration screen). If you need to install
a new Gateway device because existing Gateways are out
of radio range of a newly installed lock, see page 21
"Adding a new Gateway to an existing system" for in-
structions.
Note: This popup can also appear if the Gateway was not
"reset" by pressing the RESET button (turn to page 22 and
follow the "Resetting the Gateway" instructions for a "Full
Reset").
BATTERY REPLACEMENT PROBLEMS
I just replaced the lock batteries--but I accidentally lost the
lock programming! What do I do?
It is difficult to lose the lock programming when replacing
batteries--to erase the programming you actually need to
disconnect the batteries and press and hold a keypad but-
ton for several seconds.
If you disconnect the batteries and briefly touch a key acci-
dentally, you may only lose the time/date information. In
this case, simply turn to page 56 and follow the procedure
for the "Right-Click Profile Menu > Update Time/Date
in Lock".
If you disconnect the batteries, accidentally hold down a key
for several seconds and indeed lose the lock programming,
keep in mind that although this physical lock has lost its pro-
gramming, both DL-Windows and the Gateway still con-
sider the state of this physical lock as unchanged (still pow-
ered up and in operation). The solution is to perform the
same procedure as "Replacing a physical lock" shown on
page 19, but to re-discover the same lock on the same
Gateway. Proceed as follows:
Find the yellow Lock ID Card containing the serial number
of the physical lock in question. Have this Lock ID Card
available when you use DL-Windows. If you do not have
the yellow Lock ID Card, the serial number is located inside
the lock on the keypad side--difficult to retrieve for locks al-
ready installed on doors.
In DL-Windows, click the GW Confg button to open the
Gateway Configuration screen. Click to highlight the
Gateway in the list to which the lock was assigned, then
click Tools, Delete Locks by Serial Number.
TROUBLESHOOTING
60 Trilogy Networx™ Wireless Setup & DL-Windows Configuration Instructions
The Delete Serial Number(s) screen opens. Find and
place a check in the check box next to the lock's serial num-
ber and click the Delete Selected Serial Number(s) but-
ton.
In the Gateway Configuration screen, click the Number of
Locks to Discover pull-down list and select a number of
locks that you want to detect; in this case, you can select
"1" because you are only re-adding this one lock to the sys-
tem. Click the Discover Locks On Selected Gateway
button to initiate the search.
A popup screen entitled "Discovered 1 Locks" will appear,
indicating the serial number of the lock (along with its signal
strength and lock model)
Re-add the lock serial number to the Gateway by placing a
check in the check box next to the lock's serial number.
Click the Use Selected Locks button.
A Link Locks popup appears asking if you want to link your
new locks now (if the popup does not appear, click Tools,
Link / Unlink Lock Profiles. Click Yes to open the
Link / Unlink Lock Profiles screen.
In the "Available Lock Profiles" field, click the Profile previ-
ously assigned to the lock, and click the serial number of
the lock in the "Available Lock(s) By Serial Number" field.
After linking, a Send Profile to Lock Now popup automati-
cally appears requesting if you wish to send the lock Profile
to the physical lock (if the Send Profile to Lock Now
popup does not appear, go to the DL-Windows main
screen, click to highlight the lock Profile, then click the
Comm button and click Communicate with current Net-
work lock). The DL-Windows Network Lock Comm
Screen opens. Check "All" and click the Start Communi-
cation button. When communication is complete, click the
Close button. You're done!
RESET GATEWAY ISSUES
How do I reset the Gateway and what effect will it have on
my system?
Turn to page 22 and follow the "Resetting the Gateway"
instructions for a "Partial Reset".
After a "Partial Reset" is performed, all Gateway Lock Ta-
ble data is also erased, and the Gateway is ready to be re-
discovered. The Getting Started section on page 12 has
the instructions necessary to get this "new" Gateway back
into the system--but start with step 3 on page 14. Listed
here are all the steps starting with step 3:
3. Discover New Gateways
4. Add ("Assign") the Gateway to an Account
5. Discover physical locks on the Gateway
6. Assign (add) discovered locks to the Gateway
7. Link lock to a Profile
8. Send Profile to lock
Note: After a "Full Reset" is performed, all Gateway Lock
Table data and network settings are erased, and the Gate-
way is reset to its original factory condition.
GATEWAY IN RED COLOR
One of the Gateways listed in the Gateway Configuration
screen is colored RED.
--or in other words--
How do I re-establish communication with a "lost" Gate-
way?
A working Gateway (discovered on the network, as-
signed to an Account and operational) is listed in the
Gateway Configuration screen in blue colored text.
When a working Gateway has subsequently lost com-
munication with the network and the Gateway Configu-
ration screen is opened, the Gateway appears listed in
red colored text.
If you see a Gateway listed in red, either the network or
the physical Gateway device is responsible. Click to se-
lect the red colored Gateway in the list, then click Ac-
tions, Relocate Gateways (Displayed in red) to try to
re-discover the problem Gateway through the network.
See page 42 ("Actions > Relocate Gateways
(Displayed in red)") for the complete procedures.
LOST LOCK
How do I re-establish communication with a "lost" lock?
If you lost communication with a lock, first verify a few
basic details:
1. Has something changed to affect communications?
Is the lock still on the door? Did someone remove
the door for some kind of maintenance? Has furni-
ture been moved around and now there is something
that is blocking the radio signal to the Gateway?
2. Is the lock still functioning? Find the physical lock
and attempt to unlock by entering a working User
Code. Are the key-presses cause beeping sounds?
3. Check the radio signal from the Gateway using the
test tool. Is the signal strength weak?
4. If the test tool is not available, try to determine if the
distance between the lock and GW is greater than 75
to 100 feet. A new Gateway may need to be installed
(see page 21, "Adding a new Gateway to an exist-
ing system").
5. Take the lock off the door, bring the lock physically
closer to a Gateway and try to re-discover the lock.
6. If the signal strength to that lock has always been
strong and suddenly it is non-existent, the lock may
have an internal failure. Try the procedure in the
section named "I just replaced the lock batteries--
but I accidentally lost the lock programming"
above (see page 59). This procedure is basically de-
leting the lock serial number from DL-Windows
("Delete Serial Number(s) screen"), then using DL-
Windows to re-discover the same lock.
Trilogy Networx™ Wireless Setup & DL-Windows Configuration Instructions 61
"LOCK NOT CONFIGURED YET "
The above popup message appears due to a possible
communication error during the lock discovery / configu-
ration process (the Gateway was unable to "configure"
the lock). See the "Configure" definition in the Termi-
nology section on page 6 for a complete explanation.
The solution is to re-send the configuration data to the
lock as follows:
a. Click OK to close the above popup. Click the GW
Confg button to open the Gateway Configuration
screen.
b. Click Tools, View Gateway's Lock Table.
c. Click the Update Database button located at the
bottom of the Gateway Lock Table screen (circled):
d. Try linking again. If the same popup appears, then
the communication link between the Gateway and
the physical lock could be suspect. See the trouble-
shooting issue "LOCK TABLE COMM FAILURE"
above in this section.
"GATEWAYS MUST HAVE A STATIC IP "
The above popup message appears when an
"Emergency" command is initiated in DL-Windows (via
the Wireless Commands menu) but the Gateways in
the system are not assigned static IP addresses.
The solution is to first configure each Gateway with a
static IP address, then ensure that these static IP ad-
dresses are distributed to all Gateways in the system.
Proceed as follows:
a. Click the GW Confg button to open the Gateway
Configuration screen.
b. Click to highlight a specific Gateway in the list, then
click Tools, Configure Network Settings. The
Network Configuration screen opens.
c. Un-check the "Use DHCP" checkbox if checked.
d. In the "IP Address" field, enter a unique static IP
address. Static IP addresses can be obtained from
either the router setup guide (if a router is used) or
from your network administrator who has provided
unique static IP addresses for each Gateway in your
system.
e. Repeat steps a-d for each Gateway in the system.
f. After all Gateways are configured with a static IP ad-
dress, click the GW Confg button to open the Gate-
way Configuration screen (if it is not open already).
Click Tools, Send IP Table to all Gateways to send
the "IP Table" to ALL Gateways in the system (the
"IP Table" is a special table in DL-Windows that con-
tains all of the static IP addresses of each Gateway
in the system).
