Tools > Send Lock Config Table to Selected Gateway
To open this screen, click the GW Confg button to open the Gateway Configuration screen. Click to
highlight a specific Gateway in the list, then click Tools, Send Lock Config Table to Selected Gateway.
In DL-Windows, the word "Configure" has a specific meaning--to "Configure" is to "assign" discovered physical locks to a
Gateway, thus ensuring a fixed wireless communication channel exists between selected physical locks and a selected
Gateway.
How does the system "Configure"?
The Gateway sends "configuration data" in the form of a "Lock Configuration Table" to the selected locks. This "configuration
data" contains items--an internal lock designation, a specific radio channel and security data--that are all embedded in the
"Lock Configuration Table". This "configuration data" instructs the physical lock(s) to communicate ONLY with that Gateway
and prevents other Gateways from communicating with the physical lock(s).
In short, the Gateway tries to "configure" the selected physical locks, assigning the selected physical locks to the Gateway.
Tools > Send IP Table to Selected Gateway
To open this screen, click the GW Confg button to open the Gateway Configuration screen. Click to
highlight a specific Gateway in the list, then click Tools, Send IP Table to Selected Gateway. You can
also click Send IP Table to all Gateways to send the IP Table to ALL Gateways without the need to high-
light a specific Gateway.
Tools > Send IP Table to all Gateways
For Accounts with multiple Gateways that are programmed to respond to Emergency Commands (see pages 51-53) these menu
items are a preliminary step to ensure that selected Gateways are able to communicate with each other without the need for DL-
Windows to be connected to the system. To allow this communication between Gateways, each Gateway in the Account must
possess the static IP Address of every other Gateway in the Account. Use these DL-Windows menu items to manually distribute
the static IP addresses of each Gateway (in the form of a DL-Windows "IP Table") to either a "selected" Gateway or to "all" other
Gateways in the Account. The diagram at left illustrates how Emergency Commands are distributed: Pressing an Emergency
code at a lock keypad (step 1) causes the keypad to send the Emergency Command to its assigned Gateway (named "Gateway A"
in step 2). This "Gateway A" sends the Emergency Command to all locks assigned to "Gateway A" (step 3) and also "Gateway A"
sends the same Emergency Command to each Gateway IP address listed in its "IP Table" via the Router (step 4). With each
Gateway receiving the Emergency Command from "Gateway A" (step 5), each of these Gateways then sends this Emergency
Command to each of its assigned locks (step 6). Notice that DL-Windows
is not needed to disseminate Emergency Commands and therefore not
shown in this diagram.
Important: When adding a new Gateway to an Account, be sure use the
Send IP Table to all Gateways Command to ensure all existing Gateways
in the Account have the IP Address of the new Gateway. All Emergency
Commands MUST be tested weekly (or daily if necessary) to ensure their
correct operation. Note: These menu items are only used when more
than one Gateway exists in a system.
● For systems with only one Gateway, that Gateway can operate with
either a static IP address or the dynamic assignment of an IP address
by the TCP/IP network (if you wish, "Use DHCP" can be checked in
the Network Configuration screen; see "Tools > Configure
Network Settings" on page 33). Since only one Gateway exists in
the system, that Gateway obviously does not need to maintain the IP
addresses of other non-existent Gateways. Therefore, systems with
only one Gateway do not require the use of these menu items.
● For systems with more than one Gateway, static IP addresses
(listed within the DL-Windows "IP Table") MUST be distributed and
assigned to all Gateways within the system. After all locks are
installed and working, and static IP addresses are assigned to each of
the Gateways, click Tools > Send IP Table to Selected Gateway (or
click Tools > Send IP Table to all Gateways) to distribute these
Gateway IP addresses to each Gateway in the system.
