Why Use Proximity Cards and Fobs?

With ordinary door locks, the need to make physical copies of metal keys and distributing them can be a huge organ-

izational and financial task -- and what will you do if someone causes a security breach by losing their key?

The answer lies in the advantage of "firmware". Firmware exists inside your Alarm Lock™ series lock, and can be

changed ("programmed") to suit your changing requirements. No more metal keys to distribute...instead, distribute a

proximity card or fob (for example ProxCards

leted from the lock firmware. (Proximity cards and fobs are the firmware equivalent of metal keys; just present a valid

card to the reader to unlock the PL6500 / ETPLN). Furthermore, proximity cards and fobs differ from metal keys in

that they are not duplicates---each card is "unique" to the lock, and therefore can easily be deleted from the lock

firmware without needing to be "in hand". One additional advantage is that proximity cards and fobs cannot be dupli-

cated, unlike ordinary metal keys.

Preparing to Program your Lock

As the PL6500 / ETPLN does not feature keypad buttons on its housing, programming your PL6500 / ETPLN (for ex-

ample adding or deleting proximity cards) is allowed only using a PC that is running the computer

DL-Windows. The PC must be connected to a computer network to allow the Gateway module to wirelessly commu-

nicate with the lock's internal radio (see the Wireless Network Setup & DL-Windows Configuration Instructions, OI352

for more information about Gateway modules). DL-Windows can always be used as a back-up, restoring the informa-

tion to your PL6500 / ETPLN lock should the future need arise.

Once you unpack your PL6500 / ETPLN from the box, there is a specific procedure that must be followed for proper

operation (detailed in "First Time Power Up" on page 8). Turn the page and learn about the special terminology

used with your lock. Once that is clear, use the "First Time Power Up" procedure on page 8 to help you get up and

running.
