transfer data between DL-Windows and the wireless
locks. Simply use your computer to retrieve logs, down-
load User Codes and program features into 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,
a large corporate LAN, or over the Internet). Connected
to this network is an intermediate device called a Gate-
way that communicates via a private wireless signal to a
radio located inside each door lock. In this way, the soft-
ware allows full programming and control of each lock in
the system. Note: In this manual, the word "lock" refers
™
to all Networx series door locks and the NETWORX-
PANEL wireless control panel and its wireless keypads.
To ensure each physical lock is identified correctly by DL
-Windows, the factory assigns each lock a unique serial
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 the keypad programming instructions included with
the lock). 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, Fea-
tures, Time Zones, and Schedules is available as a tem-
porary 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. Keep-
ing complete and accurate records saves time because
after the wireless network is set up, any programming
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-
