General Overview - Alarm Lock NETWORXPANEL Programming Instructions Manual

Why use User Codes?
With ordinary door locks, the need to make physical copies of metal keys and distributing them can be a huge organizational and
financial task -- and what will you do if someone causes a security breach by accidentally losing their key?
The answer lies in the advantage of "firmware". The firmware inside the NETWORXPANEL can be programmed (and re-
programmed again and again) to suit your changing requirements. No more metal keys to distribute...instead, distribute User
Codes -- and delete them from the firmware when needed. A User Code is the firmware equivalent of a metal key--it is a series of
numeric button-presses at the NETPDK or NETDK keypad to allow (for example) passage through a door.
Preparing to Program User Codes
The NETPDK and NETDK keypads each contain 12 buttons, numbers 1 through 9 plus zero, a star button (:) and a special
"AL" button (;). You can use a NETPDK or NETDK keypad to program your system, or you can use a computer program
called DL-Windows that can be configured to program your system wirelessly. This guide will show you how to program your
NETWORXPANEL using the NETPDK or NETDK keypad, without DL-Windows. (For more information about DL-Windows, see
User Guides OI237; for information about using DL-Windows within the Networx wireless system, see OI352).
After all the door lock hardware is installed and the keypads are mounted, programming your system begins after the NETWORX-
PANEL is powered and its memory is cleared (see WI1856 for the exact procedure). Before you can program using the keypad,
you must first enter something called "Program Mode".
What is Program Mode?
The Networx system has two "modes": "Normal Mode" and "Program Mode". When you want to make changes to the system
programming (such as adding the many Features detailed in this manual), enter "Program Mode". When programming is finished
and wish to put the Networx system into use, exit "Program Mode" to enter "Normal Mode".
Enter Program Mode by pressing the Master Code set at the factory (then wait for the green light and press ; until multiple
beeps are heard). The Master Code is basically a secret 6-digit "passcode" that allows you to enter Program Mode. But since all
NETWORXPANEL control panels are identical and leave the factory with the same Master Code, this factory Master Code is
therefore not very secret--and should be changed to your own personal Master Code. This way, only YOU can enter Program
Mode and make changes to the programming.
Once the new Master Code is set , then you can continue with the Quick Start procedure and set the weekday, date and time. Af-
ter this, you can start entering User Codes for people to use. Programming changes are organized by their Function Number.
Want to change the date? Use Function Number 38. Want to add a User Code? Use Function Number 2. There are 99 Func-
tions in total, some that you may use often, and others that you may never need.
Notice that when you make programming changes, there is a

put the into use.
