1 Introduction
The AT&T Digital Life System (DLS) is a service delivery platform that AT&T will be
commercially deploying. The DLS includes a Network Platform and a Premises Platform
wherein the primary communication path between the platforms is provided via AT&T
Cellular Data Service. The DLS includes AT&T Digital Life Data Centers and AT&T Digital
Life Central Monitoring Centers. AT&T will be utilizing the DLS in delivering services to
consumer and business customers.
The purpose of this document is to provide an overview of the DLS and instructions
concerning the installation and operations of the DLS.

2 Digital Life System Overview
2.1 System Architecture
The AT&T Digital Life System (DLS) provides an Internet Protocol (IP) based end-to-end
services delivery platform that AT&T will utilize in providing services to customers. The
DLS includes a Network Platform and a Premises Platform. AT&T Cellular Data Service
provides the primary communication between the Network Platform and the Premises
Platform. Optionally, a secondary communication path between the Network Platform
and the Premises can be established via a Bring-Your-Own-Broadband service, which
could be based on an ADSL, VDSL, FiOS, cable modem or some other wireline
broadband service.
The initial commercial deployment of DLS will be utilized to offer consumer customers
Professionally Monitored Home Security and Home Automation & Control services.
Figure 1 is a representation of the AT&T DLS Architecture. Within the system
architecture the Network Platform includes AT&T Digital Life Data Centers.

Installation and Operations Manual
The architecture also features AT&T Central Monitoring Centers, which will be UL
certified. There are AT&T high speed wireline data facilities that interconnect all of the
data centers and the monitoring centers. DMP IP Alarm Receivers are located in the
AT&T Digital Life Data Centers. When an alarm is received by a DMP Alarm Receiver, it
is automatically sent to the AT&T Digital Life Central Monitoring Centers.
2.2 Digital Life Controller Cabinet
In the customer’s home the AT&T Digital Life Controller (DLC) Cabinet houses the
Digital Life Controller Board, which is the central device in the Premises Platform. The
DLC Cabinet will be wall mounted in a closet, utility room or basement similar to a
traditional home security cabinet and adjacent to an AC power outlet. The cabinet is
made out of plastic and features a main cabinet door and a secondary battery backup
door (See Figure 2.) The cabinet is equipped with three tamper switches, which when
activated will automatically send alarms to an AT&T Digital Life Central Monitoring
Center:
A tamper switch is located on the backside of cabinet and is triggered if cabinet is
removed from the wall.
A tamper switch associated with main cabinet door is triggered when the main
cabinet door is opened.
A tamper switch associated with the battery compartment door is triggered when
the battery compartment is opened.

to be replaced; and, off when the battery is discharged or there is no battery
connected to the DLC.
SYSTEM—green when system is good, red when there is a system problem and
yellow when the system is in Maintenance Mode. The DLC is in Maintenance
Mode when software is being downloaded and installed.

Installation and Operations Manual
Within the Premises Platform a proprietary one-way 433MHz radio technology is utilized
with wireless intrusion and smoke/CO detection devices and a key fob. (See Figure 4.)
A proprietary two-way 915MHz radio technology is utilized with wireless keypads and
sirens, (See Figure 5.). When they are needed to extend the transmission range of the
433MHz and/or 915MHz devices, a 433MHz and a 915MHz signal repeater are
available. The standard installation includes 433MHz and 915MHz devices (See Section
6 for detailed information concerning the devices).

2.3.2 Optional Takeover Module
When Digital Life installations are done in homes with existing wired security systems, a
Takeover Module can be utilized to re-use the existing wired window/door contacts and
re-use the existing wiring to keypads for powering (up to two) two-way 915MHz wireless
keypads. (See Figure 6.)

Keypad Power
2.3.3 Optional Z-Wave Devices (Not Evaluated by UL)
Within Digital Life Z-Wave 908MHz two-way technology can be utilized to support
optional home automation and control devices and associated services. (See Figure 7.)
NOTE: The Z-Wave devices are only evaluated by UL as it relates to the operation of
the DLS.
2.4 Digital Life System Installation and Configuration
Unlike traditional security systems wherein a keypad is utilized to perform system
installation and configuration, the DLS installation and configuration is completed using a
Web tool, such as Digital Life Direct, on a PC or tablet device, such as an iPad. The
Web tool enables an installation technician to place the Digital Life Controller into the
“Discovery” mode. While the Digital Life Controller is in the “Discovery” mode, the
technician places devices in the “Discoverable” mode. The devices are discovered and
registered with the Digital Life Controller (See the “Digital Life Direct Overview” Section
for more details). After devices have been discovered, the technician utilizes the Web
tool to selectively place intrusion and fire devices into the “Armed-Stay” and “ArmedAway” categories and establish Exit Delay and Entry Delay times. The technician also
uses the Web tool to label the devices.
2.5 Digital Life System Operation
The Digital Life System can be operated by utilizing the 915MHz two-way keypad, the
433MHz one-way four button key fob and through a Web appliance, such as a personal
computer (PC).

Within the home the 915MHz two-way keypad provides access to system operation,
including the following functions:
Arm-Stay
Arm-Away
Bypass
Disarm
Duress Code
Fire Emergency
Aux Emergency
Police Emergency
The customer must enter a four (4) digit Security Code into the keypad in order to disarm
the system. The customer creates their four (4) digit Security Code using a Web tool.
The customer uses the same Web tool to create their optional four (4) digit Duress
Code. The Security Code and Duress Code must be different. The keypad is depicted in
Figure 8.

Within the home a 433MHz one-way four button key fob also can be used to operate the
system, including the following three functions:
Arm-STAY
Arm-AWAY
Disarm
The key fob is depicted in Figure 9.

2.6 Digital Life System Alarm Reporting
Within the Digital Life Premises Platform the Digital Life Controller is equipped with an
Alarm Manager application which receives alarm messages from intrusion devices, fire
devices, the 915MHz two-way keypad and the 433MHz one-way four button key fob.
The Alarm Manager application sends alarm messages over the AT&T Cellular Data
Network to a DMP IP Alarm Receiver located in an AT&T Digital Life Data Center. The
alarms are then automatically passed to the AT&T Digital Life Central Monitoring Center
for handling.
The following are the primary alarm messages that can be communicated from the
Alarm Manager application executing on the Digital Life Controller in a customer’s home
to the AT&T Digital Life Monitoring Center via the DMP IP Alarm Receiver:
Fire - with device identification
Intrusion - with device identification
Fire Emergency - from fixed function button on keypad
Aux Emergency - from fixed function button on keypad
Police Emergency - from fixed function button on keypad
Duress – based on keypad entry
Low battery - with device identification
Tamper – alarms from the Digital Life Controller Cabinet and other devices
2.7 Event Notification Service (Not Evaluated by UL)
Optionally within their Digital Life Service, customers will be able to be automatically
notified when specified events occur in their home. There are a wide range of possible
events that could trigger a notification, including:
Fire alarm
Intrusion alarm
Motion detected
Window opened
Door opened
Customers will have the option of being notified via text messaging or email.
