Windows), a router (to allow connection to a computer EXP Expanders. Expanders extend the coverage area of network), and an Alarm Lock Gateway module (the inter- version 2 series Gateways, allowing control of up to its mediary between the network and the locks).
Gateway Specifications For Gateways, network activity (or bandwidth usage) does NOT occur until you operate DL-Windows software to send programming to (or receive log data from) physical locks. Exception: During the Emergency Lockdown Command, Gateways communicate through the network. Gateways will send less than 1000 bytes during these Emergency Commands (for more information regarding Emergency Commands, see page 42).

Q u i c k S t a r t 1. Install the DL-Windows software (see OI382). 2. Setup your Network connection and install your Gateway (see WI2085). Note: Complete the blue Gateway ID Card specifying its physical location. 3. Connect the Gateway to the Network, then power up the Gateway (refer to the documentation that accompanied the device).

"Gateway Configuration" Screen - Field and Button Definitions The Gateway Configuration screen allows for the discovery, addition and configuration of Gateways, Expanders and locks. additionally, this screen serves as the main hub for all Networx devices and displays all pertinent status information. Click the Gateway Config button to access the Gateway Configuration screen.
Discovering / Adding Gateways Once connected to the network, Gateways must be 2. All added Gateways are put into Gateway Emergency discovered and added to the Account. This can be "GROUP A" by default. For more information, see accomplished in one of 3 ways: Automatic Gateway Grouping on page 42.
Discovering / Assigning Wireless Locks After Gateways have been discovered and added to the Account, physical locks may now be discovered and assigned to the Gateways (or Expanders). More commonly, this is accomplished in two steps: First discovering the locks, then assigning them to the Gateway(s)/Expander(s). Note: After lock discovery and lock assignment to a Gateway, locks are then "Linked"...

Linking Lock Profiles After physical locks are successfully assigned to the Gateway / Expander, they must be "Linked" to Lock Profiles (locks not Linked cannot be downloaded). In DL-Windows, the word "Link" is used to describe the specific action of associating a Lock Profile to the physical lock assigned to the Gateway / Expander (by serial number).

Emergency > Emergency Lock Down Selecting Emergency Lock Down sends a command to all Gateways (in the selected Gateway Groups) to immediately lock all of their assigned wireless locks, thus securing the protected doors from unwarranted passage. In an Emergency Lock Down state, all Administrative Users (User Numbers 1-11) can still unlock the physical lock.
Emergency > Emergency Passage Selecting Emergency Passage sends a command to all Gateways (in the selected Emergency Groups) to immediately unlock all of their assigned wireless locks, thus un-securing the protected doors to allow passage. In an Emergency Passage state, User credentials are no longer required to allow passage. Please use caution when using this feature, and consider all implications of un-securing the protected doors.
Emergency > Emergency Return to Normal Selecting Emergency Return to Normal sends a command to all Gateways (in the selected Emergency Groups) to immediately revert all assigned locks to the state they were in prior to the initiation of the Emergency command. For example. if the lock was in an unlocked state due to a Schedule, and a subsequent Emergency Lock Down was initiated, the Emergency Return to Normal command will revert the lock back to its original unlocked state.
Emergency Commands > Set Emergency Groups As mentioned in the previous section, each Gateway added to an Account is placed into Emergency "GROUP A" by default. This is done to ensure that Gateways will communicate with each other in an Emergency, without the use of DL- Windows (the Emergency initiated via the keypad).
