Data Transfer Module (AL-DTM) 
An AL-DTM is used to transfer Lock Programs (and other data) between DL-Windows and locks.  
When computers cannot be transported or when electrical power is not available, the hand-held AL-
DTM device acts as a go-between--it allows the transfer of lock data from the computer (through the 
AL-DTM) and to the lock, or in reverse (from the lock through the AL-DTM back to the computer).

Lock Design Overview 
Why Use Software inside a Lock? 
With ordinary door locks, the need to make physical copies of metal keys and distributing them can be a huge organizational and 
financial task -- and what will you do if someone causes a security breach by simply losing their key? 
 The answer lies in the advantage of software.  Software (also called firmware) is not hard or fixed like hardware is.  Software 
is soft -- flexible and changeable to your needs.  Software exists inside your Alarm...

Terminology Used in this Manual 
What is a Lock Program? 
A Lock Program contains the instructions that a lock uses to 
perform its various functions.  You can use the keypad to cre-
ate a Lock Program stored within the lock.  You can also use 
DL-Windows (defined below) to create a Lock Program on 
your computer, and then transfer and store the Program in the 
circuitry contained inside the lock itself.  The Lock Program is 
essentially a computer database file that maintains feature 
settings,...

ory 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--their 
User Location--is a commonly used description of their User 
Number.  Because of their similarities, a 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...

User 299 is a Non-Pass Code.  This is the only code that will initiate data transfer with the AL-DTM. 
NOTES:  
The Programming Level defines the range of programming 
tasks a User is allowed to perform.  The higher the Level, the 
more programming tasks the User is allowed (with Master al-
lowing ALL tasks).   
 Note:  Since the Programming Level is closely associated with 
the type of User and their abilities, a User who holds a certain 
Programming Level is sometimes referred to by their “User...

NOTE:  
The AL-PCI cable is designed to be used on a 9 pin serial COM port.  If your computer has a 25 pin COM port, a 25 pin to 9 pin adapter must be used.   
Warning:  Polarity MUST be observed when connecting cables to the lock.  The tab (-) must plug into the negative (black) hole. 
Scenario 4   Use the AL-IR1 Infrared printer to print your lock’s audit trail (event log), User Code list, clock settings and software 
version.  No cable required.
