What is a User Number?
User Numbers are used and are significant within each indi-
vidual lock only. The User Number determines the Program-
ming Level for each User. For example, PDL Series locks
can hold up to 2000 Users in its programming memory. This
memory can be thought of as simply a numbered list from 1
through 2000. Each entry in the list is represented by a User
Number. Therefore, where a User is located in this list will
determine their Programming Level. Because of their simi-
larities, the terms User Number, User Location and Location
Number can be used interchangeably. In some DL-Windows
screens, the word "Slot" is also used. They all mean the
same thing.
Since User Numbers are fixed, knowing a User Number will
specify the associated Programming Level, and will in turn
determine a User’s programming abilities. For example, User
Number 1 is always the Master, who can perform all program-
ming tasks.
Programming Levels are hierarchical--higher levels are al-
lowed to do anything the levels below them can do. For ex-
ample, if you are User 2, you are allowed to do anything that
Users 3 through 11 can do.
What is a Group?
With many lock applications, it is convenient for large num-
bers of similar Users to be grouped together. Placing Users
into Groups (by assigning them specific User Numbers) al-
lows large numbers of Users to be controlled all at once
rather than individually--saving time and effort. Groups are
controlled via schedules, and a typical example involves ena-
bling or disabling a Group at a certain time. Default Group
associations are specified in the tables on page 8. For exam-
ple, if you wish to add a User to Group 1, assign this User a
User Number between 51 and 100. These default Group as-
sociations can be changed if needed to allow Groups larger
than the default number of 50 (by using keypad Function 35).
(See page 18 for some Group function examples).
Who are Users 297-300?
Users assigned to User Numbers 297, 298, 299 and 300
have special abilities, as follows:
User 297: Quick Enable User 300
In short, the User 297 User Code enables the User 300 User
Code. The person in possession of the User 297 User Code
first presses the User 297 User Code into the lock keypad.
When User 300 subsequently presses the User 300 User
Code, the lock unlocks (for one time) and then the User 300
User Code becomes disabled.
For example, you wish to allow one-time access to a tempo-
rary worker. Simply press the User 297 User Code at the
lock keypad. Later, when the temporary worker presses the
User 300 User Code into the lock keypad, the User 300
User Code unlocks the lock (for one time only) and then be-
comes disabled. Later, if you wish to grant the temporary
worker access again, simply re-enter the User 297 User
Code and the User 300 User Code will be re-enabled (again
for one time only).
User 298: Quick PC Access Code
Entering the User Code for User 298 enables that User to
send data to or from the lock. Therefore, User 298 can acti-
vate what is the equivalent of Function 58 in Program Mode
(see page 23), without the need to enter Program Mode nor
the need to know the Master Code of the lock. An AL-PCI
cable with a PC is required.
User 299: AL-DTM Code
This is the only User Code that will initiate data transfer with
the AL-DTM. An AL-PCI cable and an AL-DTM (first pro-
grammed by the computer by DL-Windows) is required.
User 300: One-Time Only Service Code
This is a One-Time Only Service User Code enabled by
User 297. For example, User Code 300 is sometimes used
for guard tour duties or temporary workers. See above
"User 297: Quick Enable User 300".
What is DL-Windows?
DL-Windows is a computer program that allows you to pro-
gram your ALARM LOCK T3 Security Lock. DL-Windows is
not required to program your lock, but it makes programming
much faster and easier. With DL-Windows, you can quickly
create Lock Programs (programs that make the lock perform
its many functions) add multiple Users (who have access),
add ProxCards
®
and ProxKey
®
keyfobs, retrieve event logs,
and create Schedules. The benefit of DL-Windows is that it
allows you to set up all lock programming in advance (on your
computer), and then later send the information to the locks at
your convenience.
