Alarm Lock Generation 3 PoE Network Gateway for Trilogy Networx Wireless Lock Systems

Advanced Network Gateway Solution for Wireless Access Control

The Alarm Lock Generation 3 PoE Gateway serves as the central network hub for Trilogy Networx wireless lock systems, combining communication and power through a single RJ-45 Ethernet connection. This gateway device operates at 900MHz radio frequency and supports up to 7 wireless expanders within a 175-foot radial range, providing comprehensive building coverage with simplified installation requirements.

Professional Features & Benefits

  • Power-over-Ethernet Operation: Single RJ-45 connection provides both network communication and power, eliminating the need for separate power supplies or adapters.
  • Expandable System Architecture: Supports up to 7 AL-IME2-EXP expanders per gateway with automatic identification and optimal wireless pathway determination.
  • Wide Coverage Range: 175-foot radial coverage from gateway to wireless lock locations with intelligent signal routing through expanders.
  • Multi-Gateway Scalability: Total of 99 addressable groups supported through dual rotary switches, allowing extensive system expansion.
  • Automatic Network Configuration: Networx system automatically identifies newly powered expanders and self-determines optimal wireless signal pathways.
  • Temperature Resilient Design: Operating range from -4°F to 140°F (-20°C to 60°C) with storage capability from -40°F to 185°F.
  • Advanced Network Protocols: Supports DHCP, TCP/IP, and UDP/IP protocols with 100Base-TX and 10Base-T Ethernet compatibility.
  • Optional Security Features: Hardwired switch connection capability for direct global lockdown initiation.

Installation & Operation

  1. Verify network infrastructure supports PoE requirements and confirm available IP addressing for gateway integration.
  2. Mount gateway within 175 feet radially from intended wireless lock locations, avoiding drop ceiling installations that may affect signal strength.
  3. Connect single RJ-45 Ethernet cable to gateway for both power and network communication.
  4. Configure gateway addressing using dual rotary switches for proper group identification within the 99-group capacity.
  5. Install expanders in elevated positions 6 to 12 inches below standard 8-9 foot ceilings for optimal signal coverage.
  6. Power on system and verify automatic expander identification and wireless pathway optimization.
  7. Test wireless communication to all connected locks and verify system integration with DL-WINDOWS version 5.5.4 or later.

Alarm Lock AL-IME-USB-1 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Does the Alarm Lock AL-IME3-POE gateway need its own power supply, or does it run off the network cable?
One RJ-45 Ethernet cable carries both the data and the power on the Generation 3 PoE gateway, so no separate transformer, plug-in adapter, or power drop at the mounting location. What you do need is a PoE-capable switch or injector on that run. Confirm the network side supports PoE and that an IP address is available before you mount it.
2) How far will the Trilogy Networx gateway reach to the locks, and what do I do in a building that is bigger than that?
175 feet radial from the gateway to the wireless lock locations. Past that you add expanders: each Generation 3 PoE gateway supports up to 7 AL-IME2-EXP expanders, and the Networx system identifies newly powered expanders on its own and self-determines the wireless signal pathway. For a campus or a multi-building site you add gateways instead, with 99 addressable groups total set through the dual rotary switches.
3) Where should the Networx PoE gateway and its expanders actually be mounted?
Keep the gateway out of drop ceilings, which cut signal strength, and put it within 175 feet radially of the locks it has to reach. Expanders go high on the wall, 6 to 12 inches below a standard 8 to 9 foot ceiling. That elevation is what gets the signal over furniture and partitions, so it is worth planning the cable runs around it rather than mounting at eye level for convenience.
4) What software version do I need to run the Alarm Lock Generation 3 gateway?
DL-WINDOWS version 5.5.4 or later. If a site is running an older DL-WINDOWS install from an earlier Networx rollout, plan on updating it as part of the job, because the final commissioning step is verifying wireless communication to every lock through that software.
5) Can the Alarm Lock PoE gateway be mounted in an unheated garage, warehouse, or exterior vestibule?
Operating range is -4 F to 140 F (-20 C to 60 C), which covers an unconditioned warehouse, a parking structure, or a stairwell in most of the country. Storage tolerance runs wider, -40 F to 185 F. Extended sub-zero exterior exposure falls outside the operating range, so a cold-climate exterior application wants a heated enclosure or an interior mounting point that still lands inside the 175-foot reach.
6) What does my IT department need to allow for the Trilogy Networx gateway on our network?
The gateway speaks DHCP, TCP/IP, and UDP/IP, and connects at 100Base-TX or 10Base-T, so it drops onto standard building Ethernet with no special media. It can take a DHCP address, though most access control installs get a reservation so the address does not move. The wireless side to the locks runs at 900MHz, separate from the building Wi-Fi, so it does not compete for the 2.4 or 5GHz spectrum.
7) How do I set up a global lockdown button with an Alarm Lock Networx system?
The Generation 3 PoE gateway takes a hardwired switch connection for direct global lockdown initiation. That gives a front office or nurse station a physical button that pushes lockdown out to the locks, rather than depending on someone getting to a workstation. It is an optional connection, so run that low-voltage pair to the gateway location while the walls are open if lockdown is in scope.
8) Is the AL-IME3-POE a lock, or something I add to locks I already have?
It is the network hub, not a lock. The gateway is the piece that puts existing Trilogy Networx wireless locks onto the building network so they can be programmed and audited from a PC instead of at each door with a handheld. You still buy the locks separately, plus any AL-IME2-EXP expanders needed to cover distance beyond 175 feet.
9) If I add more gateways later, will they conflict with the one I already have?
No. Each gateway is addressed with two rotary switches, and the system supports 99 addressable groups in total, so you set a distinct group on each unit as you add them. Adding coverage later is a matter of dialing in an unused address, not re-engineering the system. Only one variant is offered, the AL-IME3-POE, so every gateway you add is the same part.
