Features for Version 3.5.X
(
Note:
The "X" denotes any release of version 3.5).
•
LockID
(see page 21). "Door Numbers" are now
referred to as "LockID's", with Accounts in DL-
Windows v3.5.X now able to accommodate up to a
maximum of 2000 locks. Each
LockID
is unique
to each lock, ensuring the validity of data and that
each lock is matched to the correct data when pro-
grammed.
•
Global Administrative Users
(see page 30). A
new "Set Administrative Users" button simplifies
the organization of those special Users possessing
a greater range of programming abilities.
All
Users
designated as "Administrative Users" will be identi-
cal for
all
locks within the Account.

Group Support: A single user can be assigned to
different Groups in different locks within an Ac-
count
•
Creating and Cloning Multiple Locks
(see page
15). Allows you to save time when creating a new
lock. Cloning duplicates all schedules and Users
programmed from an existing lock. You can clone
up to 2000 locks of the same lock type.
Note:
All
models can be cloned into all other models, with
the following exceptions: DL2800 and DL3000
locks can only clone each other, and the DL3500
can only clone itself.
New Features for Version 3.6.0
•
Daylight Saving Time
(see page 33-34). The
manner in which Daylight Saving Time (DST) is
