Using Emergency Commands - Alarm Lock ArchiTech Series User Manual

Emergency Overview
Three "Emergency Commands" are available in the wireless
Trilogy Networx system:
 "Emergency Lock Down" : Places all assigned locks
into an indefinitely locked state
 "Emergency Passage" :
into an indefinitely unlocked state
 "Return to Normal" : Reverts all assigned locks to
the state they were in prior to the initiation of the Emer-
gency command
These "Emergency" Commands can be initiated from DL-
Windows via the Emergency Commands screen, or at any
Networx wireless lock keypad. For more information
regarding issuing Emergency Commands at the keypad,
see the programming instructions included with your lock
and OI382. Note: DL-Windows does not need to be run-
ning when issuing an Emergency Command at the keypad.
WARNING: NEVER use Emergency Commands to
"toggle" Passage Mode, as this will severely impact battery
life.
Getting Started
Automatic Gateway Grouping
("Emergency Grouping")
Upon the addition of each Gateway into an Account, the
Gateway is automatically placed into an Emergency Group
("GROUP A" by default). This is done so that upon the
initiation of an Emergency Command, ALL Gateways in the
Emergency Group (and their assigned locks) will respond to
Emergency Commands issued from DL-Windows. In addi-
tion, the automatic placement of a new Gateway into an
Emergency Group allows for keypad-initiated Emergency
Commands, to lock down an entire system from a single
wireless lock.
Required Static IP Address
IMPORTANT: To ensure Gateways can respond to
Emergency Commands, all Gateways MUST be configured
with static (unchangeable) IP addresses. For more infor-
mation about configuring a Gateway with a static IP ad-
dress, see Gateway Configuration > Gateways > Configure /
Edit Network Settings (page 21), and WI2085.
W A R N I N G
All Emergency Commands MUST be
tested weekly (or daily if necessary)
to ensure their correct operation.

Using Emergency Commands

Places all assigned locks
With the addition of each newly added Gateway to an Ac-
count, a "red siren" symbol appears at the bottom of the DL-
Windows "Main Screen" to serve as a reminder that the
added Gateway is configured with a changeable IP address
(DHCP). This "red siren" symbol will remain until all Gate-
ways in the Account are configured with a static IP address.
Configure Lock to Accept Emergency
Commands
All Networx locks are programmed at the factory to respond
to "Local" Emergency Commands (i.e. Lockdown via keyfob
or directly from the keypad). However, in order to accept
Emergency commands initiated from DL-Windows, a Full
Download (which includes required programming from the
Features screen) must be completed first.
ceptance of Global and Local Emergency commands are
enabled by default for all Networx locks in DL-Windows.
For more information about Local vs Global Emergency
Commands, and programming various Emergency features,
see OI382.
Who can Initiate Emergency Commands?
● From DL-Windows: All Users, Administrators and
Operators have access to the Emergency Commands
screen, and therefore can initiate Emergency Com-
mands to any Gateway (and their assigned locks).
● From a Networx wireless lock keypad: Once the
Lock Profile has been downloaded to the physical lock,
Administrative Users 1 through 11 automatically have
the ability to initiate Emergency Commands from the
keypad. In addition, "non-Admin" Users (12+) may be
given the ability to initiate Emergency Commands from
the keypad by adding them to the Emergency Users
