Alarm Lock Networx ETPLNRX, Programming Instructions Manual

7 

ply a numbered list from 1 through 5000.  Each entry in 
the list is represented by a User Number, and proximity 
card data is assigned to ("programmed into") each 
"location" or "slot" in this list.  When a proximity card is 
assigned to a location, the card information is stored 
within the Lock Program (firmware).  Because Users are 
physically given proximity cards, it is convenient to think 
of each "location" as a "User", although technically the 
User Number is only a location within the Lock Program.  
In other words, it is easier to say "User 519" rather than 
"

The User in possession of the proximity card that is as-

signed to the User Location number 519

". 

Note: 

Where 

a User is located in this list--their 

User Lo-

cation

--is a commonly used description of their User 

Number.  Because of their similarities, a 

User Number

, 

User Location 

and 

Location Number 

can be used inter-

changeably.  In some DL-Windows screens, the word 
"Slot" is also used.  All of these terms are meant to con-
vey the same concept. 
 
With other Trilogy locks that possess keypads, the 

User 

Number 

defines the 

Programming Level 

for that User.  

Because the PL6600 / ETPLNRX does not contain a key-
pad, all User Numbers are "Basic Users", meaning each 
User is in possession of a proximity card, and that card is 
either enabled (allowing entry) or disabled (denying en-
try). 
 
 

What is a 

Group

? 

With many lock applications, it is convenient for large 
numbers of similar Users to be grouped together.  All of 
these Users might share some common attribute--for ex-
ample, they may all work in the same department of a 
facility, or may all work the same office hours.  Placing 
Users into Groups (by assigning them to a specific range 
of User Numbers) allows large numbers of Users to be 
controlled all at once rather than individually--saving time 
and effort.  A typical example involves enabling or dis-
abling a Group at a certain time (assigning them to a 
Schedule; for example, to allow Group "1" Users access 
ONLY on Wednesdays).   

Who are 

Users 297-300

? 

Proximity cards assigned to User Numbers 297, 298, 299 
and 300 have special abilities, as follows: 

User 297:  

Quick Enable User 300 

The proximity card assigned to User Number 297 pos-
sesses the unique ability to enable the proximity card 
assigned to User Number 300.  When proximity card 
297 is presented to the lock, proximity card 300 is en-
abled for one time use, allowing passage for one time 

only.  Once used, User 300's proximity card becomes 
disabled. 

For example, you wish to allow one-time access to a 
temporary worker.  Simply present proximity card 297 
to the lock and give proximity card 300 to the tempo-
rary worker.  Later, when the temporary worker pre-
sents proximity card 300 to the lock, the PL6600/
ETPLNRX unlocks and allows access for one time 
only.  If later the temporary worker re-presents his 
proximity card 300 to the lock, access will be denied.  
Later, if you wish to grant the temporary worker access 
again, simply re-present proximity card 297 to the lock 
and proximity card 300 will be re-enabled (again for 
one time only).   

User 298 and User 299:  

Guard Tour  

A Guard Tour card is used to log the movement of a 
security guard as he or she makes rounds from one 
assigned guard tour station to the next.  Presenting the 
User 299 proximity card provides precise verification 
and accountability of a guard's movement by logging 
the location with a time and date stamp in the Event 
Log ("Audit Trail"). 

Note: 

 Proximity cards assigned to User 298 and User 

299 are 

not 

access cards (meaning these proximity 

cards do NOT allow the security guard to pass through 
the door). 

User 300:  

One-Time-Only Service Card 

This is the 

One-Time Only Service User Card

 enabled 

by the proximity card assigned to User 297.  See 

User 

297:  

Quick Enable User 300 

above.   

What is 

DL-Windows

?

DL-Windows is a Microsoft Windows-based computer 
software program that allows you to program your 
PL6600 / ETPLNRX security lock.  You MUST use DL-
Windows to program your lock.  With DL-Windows, you 
can quickly create Lock Programs (called "Lock Profiles" 
in DL-Windows) that allow you to add multiple Prox-
Cards

®

 and ProxKey

®

 keyfobs, retrieve event logs, cre-

ate Schedules and program many other features.   
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 con-
venience.  For more information about DL-Windows, see 
OI237 and OI352.
