ACCESS = Entry into a
ASSIGN = Add to hardware or specify a relationship.
Can be used with User Codes and locks ("to assign
User Codes to specific locks"), or with hardware
identification ("the factory assigns each lock a unique
serial number"), or a fixed wireless communication
channel between locks and a Gateway ("locks
assigned to a Gateway").
AUDIT TRAIL = A date/time stamped log of previous
lock events.
CLOCK

REAL TIME CLOCK = An
that allows date/time stamping of events.
clock can be slowed or speeded up to fine tune
long term accuracy to within three minutes per
year.
CODE = Numeric sequence of numbers (such as:
1234) entered at the keypad.
required, must be followed by a [:] key.
COM PORT = A computer serial communications
port used to communicate with the Lock and/or Data
Transfer Module.
COMMUNICATE = To send or receive a transmission.
To avoid the directionally confusing terms of
"download" and "upload", the word "communicate" is
used in this guide.
CONFIGURE = To "assign" (add) discovered physical
locks to a Gateway (by sending the "Lock Config
Table" to the selected Gateway). Configuring ensures
a fixed wireless communication channel exists
between selected physical locks and a selected
Gateway.
The Gateway Configuration screen allows you to
select a Gateway and allow that Gateway to discover
physical locks; these physical locks can then be
assigned to that selected Gateway. When the Use
Selected Locks
"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".
instructs the physical lock(s) to communicate ONLY
with that Gateway and prevents other Gateways from
communicating with the physical lock(s).
In short, the Gateway tries to "configure" the selected
physical locks by assigning the selected physical

card or proximity keyfob.
DATA TRANSFER MODULE = A device that permits
transfer of program / data between a computer and
the lock.
DATE = Month, Day and Year entered as MMDDYY.
DAY OF WEEK = Sunday through Saturday.
DEFAULT = " Default" settings are the original
settings that were set at the factory; in other words, it
The
is the lock's original factory condition when the lock
was first taken out of its box. The default settings are
permanently encoded
and when the lock is first started, or when power is
removed and re-applied, the original factory default
settings are re-loaded and take effect.
DELETE = Used interchangeably with " Remove" .
User Codes (PINs) and proximity credentials can exist
(occupy a User Number) within the lock programming,
but are removed when "deleted" (thus the entry of a
non-existent PIN does not allow access). Similarly,
when
Administrators, "delete" describes an Operator or
Administrator who's Name, Full Name, Type and
Password was removed from DL-Windows.
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) =
Automatic assignment of IP addresses to devices that
are connected to a network. It eliminates having to
manually assign fixed IP addresses.
DISABLE = User Codes (PINs) and proximity credentials
can exist (occupy a User Number) within the lock
programming, but can be rendered inoperative via
Schedule, download or keypad programming (PIN
entry does not allow access). Similarly, when used
with DL-Windows Operators and Administrators,

within DL-Windows but is rendered inoperative.
Contrast with "enable," which means active and

DISCOVER = To "discover" Gateways, the system
searches for Gateways not yet added to an Account;
to "discover" locks, the selected Gateway searches for
locks not yet assigned to Gateways.
