10. Sending your program to the locks can be performed in several ways depending on the model of your lock:
- For older, non- Networx locks, you must send the program directly from your PC to the lock with an AL-PCI interface cable (plugged into your computer's serial COM port). If your PC is located too far from your lock to use an AL-PCI cable, use an AL-DTM3 handheld Data Transfer Module . Alternatively, the ALPCI2-U interface cable is designed to work through your PC's USB port if your computer is not equipped with a serial COM port. Go to step 10a.
- For Networx locks, you must use either a Networx Gateway (or an AL-IME-USB portable USB Gateway) to wirelessly send your program to the locks. Go to step 10b.

10a. Send program to the lock (non-Networx). Begin by following the instructions included with your AL-PCI or ALPCI2-U cable. Before using the ALPCI2-U , you must install the provided drivers into your PC. To use your cable, click Tools > COM Port Setup and Test . A loopback test of the COM port will automatically start.

The Loopback Test window opens. Select the Test All radio button, then click Test . If only one COM port exists, then the Test All selection will not be available, simply click the Test button.

The Loopback Test will automatically test the COM ports and set the correct COM port connected to your AL-PCI or ALPCI2- U cable. When the test completes, click the Set button:

Send the program to your lock: Doubleclick the lock from your account. In the following example, we will send programming to a lock named "Supply Room". The Lock

Data window opens. Use the Communications pull-down menu (located at the lower left) shown below. Click Send to Lock.

Check ALL then click Start. At the physical lock, enter Program Mode and activate Function 58 to accept the download (if the lock model does not include a numeric keypad, refer to the programming instructions included with your lock).

If the program was successfully sent to the lock, your window should look similar to the next image:

10b. Send program to the lock (Networx).

Input a Security Password using the Tools menu. Discover Gateways and Auto Add using the Gateway Config button. Add and link your locks using the Discover Locks button (see the DL-Windows for Networx V5 User's Guide (OI383) for full details). From your DL-Windows account, doubleclick the Networx lock and the Lock Data screen appears (shown below). Click the Communications pull-down (located at the lower left) and select " Communicate with selected Networx Lock ".

The Communication window opens (shown below). Check Send/Receive All , then click Start .

If the program data was successfully sent to the lock, your window should look similar to this:
