Proximity Credential Reader Enroller AL-PRE2 USER'S GUIDE

Overview

The AL-PRE2 connects to a PC running DL-Windows. Proximity credentials are enrolled by simply being presented to its applicable target area (" Smart Prox " or " Standard Prox ") on the face of the unit.

The AL-PRE2 requires DL-Windows V5.4.2 or higher. Refer to DL-Windows Version 5 User's Guide (OI382) for more information.

Getting Started

Driver Installation

Upon connecting the AL-PRE2 to your PC using the supplied USB A to B cable, in most cases the driver will be automatically located and installed if your PC is connected to the Internet. If your PC is not connected to the Internet or if Plug and Play is disabled, proceed as follows.

• 1. Insert the " AL-PRE2 Drivers " CD into the CD drive of your PC.
• 2. The CD should AutoRun; if not, explore the files on the CD. Open the folder named " CP210x_Windows ".
  • For 32-bit operating systems, run the file " CP210xVCPInstaller_x86.exe " by doubleclicking it.
  • For 64-bit operating systems, run the file " CP210xVCPInstaller_x64.exe ".
• 3. In the window that appears, click Next , click the radio button to accept the License Agreement and click Next again. The appropriate drivers for your operating system will install.
• 4. When the message indicates that the drivers are successfully installed on your PC, click Finish to exit (remove the CD from the drive).

Alternatively, the AL-PRE2 drivers can be installed directly from a DL-Windows 5 CD (V5.4.2 or higher) by manually exploring the DL-Windows 5.2 installation CD. Use Windows Explorer to open the USB Driver folder, select

either the 32-bit or 64-bit folder, then run the Setup.exe file to install the correct driver for your PC or laptop.

COM Port Setup (Required)

After the drivers have been successfully installed but before enrolling proximity credentials, you must pass a "loopback test" (communication to and from the AL-PRE2 is verified through a valid USB COM port). The following Loopback Test assumes you have already completed the AL-PCI driver installation procedure.

• 1. Connect AL-PRE2 to your PC or laptop using your supplied USB A to B cable.
• 2. In the DL-Windows "Main Screen", click Tools > COM Port Setup and Test . The Loopback Test dialog opens listing all communication ports detected.
• 3. Click Test to initiate communication port Loopback Test. All detected communication ports will be tested.
• 4. Select the "COM port" that "passed" the Loopback test (see the image below). Click Set and the dialog box will close. Your AL-PRE2 will now be ready to enroll proximity credentials.

Adding Proximity Credentials

The following section refers to using the Global Users screen in DL-Windows. For more information about using the Global Users screen or information about some of the terminology below (such as "Facility Code") see OI382.

• 1. In the Global Users screen, click the desired User or the empty slot, and click the Add Cards button. The Card Enrolling dialog opens.
• 2. Select the proximity credential type from the Card Type pull-down menu: 125kHz or 13.56MHz or Unknown .

Note: The attributes of an unknown proximity card, although collected and used by the system, will NOT be displayed in the Card Data field of the Global Users screen (the Card Format Name will appear as " Unknown ").

3. Select the proximity credential Card Format Name .

HELPFUL TIP: If the Card Format Name is unidentified, in theory you can select any Card Format Name and DL-Windows will display the detected Card Format Name . This can be very helpful when you possess a proximity credential but are unsure of its design.

• 4. In the Card Enrolling dialog (shown at left), check the Enable AL-PRE checkbox (the unit may beep when this occurs). Note: For " Unknown " card type, this checkbox will be checked (enabled) automatically.
• 5. Present the proximity credential to the desired AL-PRE2 target area ( Smart or Standard ). A "Valid Read" message will appear at the bottom of the DL-Windows "Main Screen". The Card Enrolling dialog closes and the Card Data fields in the Global Users screen will populate accordingly.

LED and Sounder Indicators

The AL-PRE2 provides visual and audible feedback. See the table below:

ACTION	LED	SOUNDER	COMMENTS
Power Up Sequence	Red steady, blue (left / right) alternating	3 beeps followed by 7 quick beeps
Normal Operation / Standby	Red steady		LED on with power applied
Valid "Smart" Read	Two blue flashes (left)	2 beeps	("Smart" = 13.56MHz Credentials)
Valid "Standard" Read	One blue flash (right)	1 beep	("Standard" = 125kHz Credentials)
Invalid Read	Blue (left / right) alternating	7 beeps	Example: Partial data read
