Gateway Configuration > Gateways > Update Gateway Firmware
In the Gateway Configuration screen, click to highlight a specific Gateway in the list, then click Gateways > Update Gate-
way Firmware.
Upon selection, the standard Windows Open dialog box
appears (shown at right), allowing you to browse for the
binary ".bin" file containing the Gateway firmware.
Select Gateway firmware file, then click Open to initiate
the update process.
The system will check the integrity of the firmware, burn it
into the Gateway memory, reboot the Gateway and verify
if the Gateway is functioning properly. Upon completion,
a Gateway Status screen will automatically open. Verify
that the Firmware Update field is green, reads "Good",
and the Gateway firmware version has been updated in
the Firmware Version field.
Gateway Configuration > Gateways > Send Config Table to the Gateway
In the Gateway Configuration screen, click Gateways > Send Config Table to the Gateway. Upon selection, the Gate-
way (and Expander) will be updated with the latest configuration data and will attempt to assign locks (if necessary).
In DL-Windows, the word "configure" has a specific meaning--to "configure" is to "assign" discovered physical locks to a
Gateway, thus ensuring a fixed wireless communication channel exists between selected physical locks and a selected
Gateway.
The Gateway sends "configuration data" in the form of a "Lock Configuration Table" to the selected locks.
"configuration data" contains items (an internal lock designation, a specific radio channel and security data) that are all em-
bedded in the "Lock Configuration Table". The "configuration data" then instructs the physical lock(s) to communicate ON-
LY with that Gateway, thus preventing other Gateways from communicating with the physical lock(s).
Although other applications exist, the three most common uses for sending the Lock Configuration Table to a Gateway are:
● Assignment Retry - Lock was successfully discovered, but was unable to be assigned to the Gateway.
● Completing Manual Lock Addition - Requirement after manually assigning locks to the Gateway database.
● Security Mismatch - "Gateway Configuration Data" area elements do not match those elements within the DL-
Windows database.
Note: If Expanders have been added to the Gateway, the " Lock Configuration Table" will be sent to each Expand-
er. Thus, the applications also apply to Expanders.
