OVERVIEW

The Trilogy Networx

™

AL-IME2-PIE Plug-in Expander

greatly extends the coverage area of version 2 series

Gateways. The AL-IME2-PIE is a

"plug-in" version of the AL-IME2-EXP

Expander; both models are functional-

ly identical. Installation is simple, with

the AL-IME2-PIE only requiring a con-

nection to a standard 120VAC wall

outlet, .

AL-IME2-PIE Expanders are cost-

effective, require no wiring, and fea-

ture a simplified 'Plug and Play' setup

where the Networx system automati-

cally identifies all newly powered Ex-

panders and quickly determines the

best wireless signal pathways. Up to

7 Expanders can be added to one ver-

sion 2 series Gateway.

Why use AL-IME2-PIE Expanders?

 Less costly, Expanders allow large coverage areas

without using additional Gateways

 Does not require network access / Ethernet cables

 Can be added to existing systems to improve sig-

nal strength in weak signal areas

 Allows for greater flexibility when positioning ver-

sion 2 Gateways

 Allows large area signal coverage with a single net-

work connection to the Gateway

Note: Expanders are available in two different de-

signs: The AL-IME2-PIE Plug-In Expander and the AL

-IME2-EXP Expander (identical in operation; see

WI2156 for more information).

Version 2

The AL-IME2-PIE "version 2" Expanders (notice the

"2" in the model name) are the next generation of Net-

worx wireless devices. Because AL-IME2-PIE Ex-

panders only work with version 2 Gateways, a version

2 Gateway must be installed and operational in your

system for AL-IME2-PIE Expanders to function (AL-

IME2-PIE Expanders cannot communicate with old-

er "non-version 2" Gateways).

Note: Although the version 2 Gateways and AL-

IME2-PIE Expanders CAN be mixed into an existing

system that includes older "non-version 2" Gateways,

AL-IME2-PIE Plug-In Expander

Installation Instructions

at least one new version 2 Gateway must be up and

running before an AL-IME2-PIE Plug-In Expander can

be used.

IMPORTANT: DL-Windows version 5.4.2 or later is

required to support version 2 Gateways and Expanders.

The AL-IME2-PIE Plug-In Expander is compatible with

Alarm Lock and Continental Access products. Refer to

the documentation supplied with your software for inte-

gration details.

EXPANDER LOCATION GUIDELINES

Once your version 2 Gateway location has been select-

ed, the next step is to determine where to install Ex-

panders. However, the following must be taken into

consideration:

 Although wood and wallboard construction can have

little effect upon signal strength, concrete or brick can

reduce signal strength by up to 35%. Steel-reinforced

concrete or metal lath and plaster can reduce signal

strength as much as 90%!

NOTICE – Local Regulations in Canada do not permit use of a Mounting Tab. In Canada, do not use the Mounting Tab

to attach the unit to an outlet. Avis – Les réglementations locales au Canada ne permettent pas l'utilisation d'une patte

de montage. Au Canada, il est interdit de raccorder l'appareil à une prise de courant au moyen d'une patte de montage.

Gateway centrally located:

When a single version 2 Gate-

way is located in the center,

surrounded by up to 7 Expand-

ers (maximum), this configura-

tion covers a large area around

a centrally located Gateway.

Gateway located at one end

of a row of Expanders: Useful for covering very

long distances. Connects several Expanders in series

with a 100 foot maximum distance between the Gate-

way and the first (and between each subsequent) Ex-

pander. In this example, the signal is easily extended

over 700 feet in one direction, and provides coverage

for door locks located along this range:

The below example shows the Gateway centrally locat-

ed within a line of Expanders (a typical corridor config-

uration).

Note: The labels "E1" through "E7" are used only

for illustration purposes and do not necessarily reflect

Expander "numbers" nor the manner in which the Ex-

panders will self-configure. In addition, the examples

above are just 3 possible scenarios; in theory, endless

automatic (self-configuring) installation configurations

are possible!

INSTALLATION STEPS

1. Blue and White ID Cards

We recommend that when installing any model Gate-

way, a blue-colored "Gateway ID Card" (OI357) be

completed, and when installing the AL-IME2-PIE Plug-

In Expander, a white-colored "Expander ID

Card" (OI388) be completed.

Gateway and Expander physical locations may easily

be forgotten. These ID cards may prove to be very

useful when replacing Gateways or Expanders, when

using DL-Windows to select a particular Gateway or

Expander to discover locks, or whenever an installed

Gateway or Expander needs to be physically located.

2. Set "Expander Group" Value

On the inside surface of the Expander are two rotary

"Expander Group" dials. When the AL-IME2-PIE is

held in your hand in the orientation shown in Fig. 1,

use these dials to set the "Expander Group" value

("00" through "99" are valid selections). All version 2

Gateways include an identical set of dials. The dial

value set on your Gateway MUST match the dial value

set on your AL-IME2-PIE.

IMPORTANT: Each Gateway in your system MUST

 Generally, depending on construction, the Expanders

should be typically mounted within approximately

100 feet of the Gateway or another Expander

 Expanders should be typically located within approxi-

mately 75 feet from the intended wireless lock loca-

tions

 Open areas will increase range while concrete

building construction, walls, ceilings and narrow

corridors will decrease range

 ArchiTech series locks generally have shorter

range to and from an Expander

 Any standard un-switched 120VAC outlet can be

used. Be aware signal levels can be affected by out-

let locations

 (Optional) Use the Mounting Tab (see Fig. 1) to

prevent unauthorized access to the AL-IME2-PIE

by securing the unit to the wall outlet (replace the

existing center outlet cover screw with the supplied

screw)

 Installing in computer closets or server rooms can

negatively impact range and performance

Helpful Tips

 The AL-NSM Networx Signal Meter and the AL-

NSG Networx Signal Generator can assist with

identifying optimal Gateway locations relative to

Expanders and locks. See WI2092 for complete

information about how to properly use these devic-

es.

 We recommend obtaining a floor plan and subse-

quently creating a layout of your intended system

identifying all proposed installation locations, also

noting building construction materials

 AL-IME2-PIEs are also handy for quickly deter-

mining a suitable location for AL-IME2-EXP Ex-

panders (if required for your system). Simply plug

in an AL-IME2-PIE in a convenient location and

perform a Expander discovery. If the AL-IME2-PIE

appears in your DL-Windows list of discovered Ex-

panders, you can replace the plug-in AL-IME2-PIE

with an AL-IME2-EXP (or leave the AL-IME2-PIE

where it is).

IMPORTANT: Be sure to read the " INSTALLATION

STEPS" section on this page before powering your Ex-

panders.

Follow these tips for each additional Expander added

to the system; see below for Expander installation con-

figurations.

INSTALLATION CONFIGURATIONS

Gateways / Expanders will automatically determine the

optimal routing pathways between one another, ensur-

ing optimal signal levels. The following are NOT

"required" configurations, but are simply examples of

typical Expander configurations.

4. Observe the LEDs

Upon power up:

● Red solid (momentarily)...

● Yellow blinks counting out "Expander Group"

setting (no blink = zero)...

● Yellow solid + green rapid flicker

Next, reset the Expander as follows:

5. Reset the Expander!

IMPORTANT: ALWAYS reset the Expander memory,

even if the Expander is new "out of the box" and/or has

never been used previously. The RESET button de-

scribed below can be accessed through a small hole in

the unit (location shown in Fig. 1). To depress the

RESET button, simply insert supplied Reset Pin

into the hole. Proceed as follows:

WHILE THE UNIT IS POWERED AND PLUGGED IN-

TO THE OUTLET:

● Press and hold the RESET button...

● ...Continue holding until the red LED turns on solid...

● ...Release and verify the green LED flickers rapidly

This "resetting" of the AL-IME2-PIE Expander clears

all memory and ensures that any previous data (such

as factory test data) is cleared from the unit.

EXPANDER LED INDICATIONS

be set to a different "Expander Group" value (along

with its associated Expanders). The "Expander Group"

value determines which Expanders are associated with

each Gateway, thus preventing Gateways from discov-

ering unintended Expanders. Note: The small

"selection arrow" on each dial must be pointing directly

to the desired value. Hold the AL-IME2-PIE with the

label "up" as shown in Fig. 1.

Example: Fig. 2 (below) displays the "Expander

Group" value set to "50". Use a small flat-head screw-

driver to turn the dials and make the selections.

3. Power the Expander

After setting the "Expander Group" values dials, simply

plug the AL-IME2-PIE into a standard un-switched

120VAC wall outlet, then observe the LEDs (see step 4

below).
