DOOR SELECTION OVERVIEW
Door Numbers and Lock ID's
Prior to DL-Windows v3.5.3
,
Door Numbers
were
used to ensure that each physical lock was correctly
matched to its corresponding data when programmed.
Door Numbers
were programmable via the lock key-
pad via Function 59 (for locks without keypads, such
as the PL3000,
Door Numbers
were selected either
by a DL-Windows equipped PC or by the Door Select
function of an AL-DTM-II. See WI1280 for more infor-
mation).
With DL-Windows v3.5.3 or later
, the concept of a
Door Number
has been discontinued in favor of a new
system of
LockID's
. With
LockID's
, changing the Door
Number at the keypad via Function 59 is ignored by
DL-Windows, and the ONLY way to ensure the cor-
rect physical locks are properly matched to their cor-
responding data is to either:
•
use DL Windows v3.5.3 to program the locks, thus
updating the locks with the new "LockID" system,
--or--
•
use an AL-DTM-III and its
Door Select Mode
to
provide the full lock program (which includes the
LockID).
Note:
The DTM displays the word "Door" and not
"LockID" when referring to door numbers. In the
DTM, both words are equivalent.
USING DOOR SELECT MODE
To use an AL-DTM-III to program locks
for the first
time
using
Door Select Mode
, proceed as follows:
1. Power up the AL-DTM. Upon pressing the green
power-up button, the DTM displays several mes-
sages, including the DTM ID and version number,
a memory test, and its total memory status.
Then a prompt for the
Operation Mode
will ap-
pear:
Press the left black button (below
Select)
to en-
able
Door Select Mode
in addition to the two
other modes of operation (
PC Comm Mode
and
Lock Mode
). The following screen appears, indi-
cating the DTM is now in
PC Communication
Mode
:
2. Download the lock data from the PC to the DTM
(the PC must be running DL-Windows 3.5.3 or
later). This lock data will be the data intended to
be sent to the locks. Refer to the DL-Windows
manual OI237 for the full procedure.
3. Press the green button until the display reads as
follows:
Press the left button (below
YES
) to use the
Door
Select Mode
. A "
Test Running
" message may
briefly appear (and re-appear) in the display.
4. The first of the available door numbers will appear
(as shown in the sample screen below). In the be-
low example, the current door number (also
named
LockID
in DL-Windows) is "8".
Note:
If there are no available doors loaded in the
DTM, the display will read "
CLR
", as shown in the
following screen:
5.
Scroll through the available door numbers
(previously downloaded in step 2) by pressing the
BACK
and
NEXT
buttons.
6. When the desired door number is in the display, (6
in the example screen below) press the button be-
low
SET
to select. The following will display.
7. Connect the DTM to the lock via the double-ended
mini banana plug. Press the left button (
GO
) and
the following screen will display, prompting you to
enter the Function 299 download code (or for PL
"keypadless" locks, to present the Function 2
card):
Enter the lock's Function 299 code (or for PL
locks, present the Function 2 card) to initiate the
data transfer. The DTM will perform a quick test
of the lock as the following screens appear
