OVERVIEW 

 The 

AL-IME2-POE

 is a " Power Over Ethernet"  

Gateway 

device used within the Trilogy Networx

 

wireless system.  Installation is simple, with the 

AL-

IME2-POE

 only requiring access to one RJ-45 

Ethernet network cable.   

 

 Version 

 The 

AL-IME2-POE 

" version 2"  Gateways (notice the 

"

2

" in the model name) are the next generation of Net-

worx Gateways.  The "version 2" models are virtually 
the same as the original "version 1" Gateways, but 
have the added ability to expand your system with up 
to 7 Expanders (model 

AL-IME2-EXP

 Expanders 

cannot communicate with older "non-version 2" Gate-
ways).  

Note:

  Version 2 Gateways CAN be mixed into 

an existing system that includes older "non-version 2" 
Gateways.   

 

 

IMPORTANT:

  

DL-Windows version 5.4.2 

or later is 

required to support version 2 Gateways and Expand-
ers.  

 

 The 

AL-IME2-POE

 Gateway is compatible with 

Alarm Lock and Continental Access products.  Refer 
to the documentation supplied with your software for 
integration details.   

 

 

Blue ID Card 

  We strongly recommend that when installing any mod-

el Gateway, a 

blue-colored 

" Gateway ID 

Card" (OI357) be completed.  Gateway physical loca-
tions may easily be forgotten.  These ID cards may 
prove very useful when replacing Gateways, when se-
lecting a particular Gateway to use to discover locks, 
or whenever an installed Gateway needs to be physi-
cally located.

GATEWAY LOCATION GUIDELINES 

  Before selecting a final mounting location for your 

Gateway, the following must be taken into considera-
tion: 

 



Gateways should be located within 175 feet (radially) 
from the intended wireless lock locations 



Open areas will increase range while concrete 
building construction, walls, ceilings and narrow 
corridors will decrease range 



ArchiTech series locks generally have shorter 
range to/from a Gateway  



Generally, the Gateway should be within approxi-
mately 75 feet (radially) from an 

AL-IME2-EXP

 Ex-

pander (see WI2156)  



Select a location that allows access to an RJ-45 net-
work Ethernet cable connection

The 

AL-NSM 

Networx 

Signal Meter 

tool can help you 

perform a site survey test of the 

premises to find the optimum 

location for Gateways relative to 

Networx locks; as well as determine the 
optimum number of Gateways (or 
Expanders) needed for signal area 
coverage.  See WI2092 or speak to 
your Alarm Lock sales representative 
for more information.
