Terminology Used in this Manual (cont'd)
memory can be thought of as simply a numbered list from 1 through
5000. Each entry in the list is represented by a User Number.
Therefore, where a User is located in this list--their User Location--is
a commonly used description of their User Number. Because of their
similarities, a User Number, User Location and Location Number can
be used interchangeably. In some DL-Windows screens, the word
"Slot" is also used. They all mean the same thing.
Since User Numbers are fixed, knowing a User Number will specify
the associated Programming Level, and will in turn indicate a User's
programming abilities. For example, User Number 1 is always the
Master, who can perform all programming tasks.
Programming Levels are hierarchical--higher levels are allowed to do
anything the levels below them can do. For example, if you are User
2, you are allowed to do anything that Users 3 through 11 can do.
What is a Group?
With many lock applications, it is convenient for large numbers of
similar Users to be grouped together. Placing Users into Groups (by
assigning them specific User Numbers) allows large numbers of Us-
ers to be controlled all at once rather than individually--saving time
and effort. Groups are controlled via schedules, and a typical exam-
ple involves enabling or disabling a Group at a certain time. Default
Group associations are specified in the table on page 9. For exam-
ple, if you wish to add a User to Group 1, assign this User a User
Number between 51 and 100. These default Group associations can
be changed if needed to allow Groups larger than the default number
of 50 (by using keypad Function 35). (See page 22 for some Group
function examples).
What is DL-Windows?
DL-Windows is a computer program that allows you to program your
ALARM LOCK T3 Security Lock. You do not need DL-Windows to
program your lock, but it makes programming much faster and easi-
er.
With DL-Windows, you can quickly create Lock Programs
(programs that make the lock perform its many functions) add multi-
ple Users (who have access), add proximity credentials, retrieve
event logs, and create Schedules. The benefit of DL-Windows is that
it allows you to set up all lock programming in advance (on your com-
puter), and then later send the information to the locks at your con-
venience.
DL-Windows version 4.0.1 software (or later) allows you to upload
and download programming features wirelessly using the Trilogy
™
Networx
PDLN4100 / PDLN4500 series door locks and a computer
network. See OI237 for more information.
How do the Emergency Commands work?
For use with all PDLN4100 / PDLN4500 series locks enrolled into
™
the Trilogy Networx
radio network, these wireless commands can
be sent to all locks in an Account during a crisis or other urgent situ-
ation.
By default, Administrative Users (Users 1-11) can send an Emer-
gency command. In addition, any User Code can be programmed
to allow the use of these Emergency Commands by simply adding
that User Code to an "Emergency Users" list within DL-Windows.
When an enabled User Code is pressed at any lock keypad, first
the lock unlocks, then the lock permits the use of these emergency
commands to be sent to all locks in the network, as follows:
...press 911 to issue "Emergency Lock Down", to
indefinitely lock all doors;
...press 000 to issue "Emergency Passage", to
indefinitely unlock all doors;
...press 123 to issue "Return to Normal" returning
all doors to "normal" (non-emergency) operation.

In addition, emergency commands may be sent via an RR-
4BKEYFOB. Note: 3 chirps sound after each emergency com-
mand entry. See page 11 and the DL-Windows User Guide OI383,
"Emergency Commands" for more information. Note:
Windows does not need to be running to allow these "Emergency"
commands to be initiated; any PDLN4100 / PDLN4500 series lock
keypad can be used to disseminate these commands throughout
the system.
Who are Users 297-300?
Users assigned to User Numbers 297, 298, 299 and 300 have spe-
cial abilities, as follows:
User 297: Quick Enable User 300
User 297 possesses the unique ability to enable the User Code
associated with User 300. User 297 does this by first entering
their own User 297 User Code into the lock keypad. When User
300 subsequently enters their User 300 User Code, the lock al-
lows access (for one time) and then the User 300 User Code
becomes disabled.
For example, you wish to allow one-time access to a temporary
worker. Simply enter the User 297 User Code into the lock key-
pad. Later, when the temporary worker enters the User 300 User
Code into the lock keypad, the User 300 User Code allows ac-
cess (for one time only) and then becomes disabled. Later, if you
wish to grant the temporary worker re-access, simply re-enter the
User 297 User Code and the User 300 User Code will be re-
enabled (again for one time only). Note: From the factory, the
User 300 User Code is blank; when the User 300 User Code is
added, it is automatically enabled by default. In addition, each
time Features or Users are uploaded to the lock, the User 300
User Code is re-enabled in ALL the locks in the Account.
User 298: Reserved
In previous versions of the ALARM LOCK Trilogy series locks,
User Number 298 initiated the sending of data to or from the lock,
and a special "AL-PCI" cable was used to physically connect the
lock to a PC running DL-Windows.
PDLN4500 series wireless locks no longer requiring a wired con-
nection, User Number 298 is also no longer required and has
been removed as an active code. Note that the User 298 code
does provide a "Guard Tour" type function (logging the code entry
with a time and date stamp in the Event Log / Audit Trail), but to
ensure compatibility with previous lock model versions, the use of
User 298 with the lock is not recommended. Note: User 298 is
not an access code (it is a "non-pass" code) and therefore does
not allow passage through the door. See "User 299: Guard Tour
Code" below.
User 299: Guard Tour Code
A Guard Tour Code is used to log the movement of a security
guard as he or she makes rounds from one assigned guard tour
station to the next. Entering the User 299 code provides precise
verification and accountability of a guard's movement by logging
the location with a time and date stamp in the Event Log (Audit
Trail).
Note: User 299 is not an access code (it is a "non-pass"
code) and therefore does not allow the security guard to pass
through the door.
User 300: One-Time Only Service Code
This is a One-Time Only Service User Code enabled by User
297. For example, User Code 300 is sometimes used for guard
tour duties. See User 297: Quick Enable User 300 above.
