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.

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

WARNING!
The DLS supports Fire Alarm Verification for use with smoke detectors which can be utilized to
delay the transmission of a smoke alarm to the AT&T Digital Life Central Monitoring Center.
When smoke is detected, the alarm sounds a loud temporal 3 local alarm. Twenty (20)
seconds after the local alarm sounds, the built-in transmitter sends a digitally coded wireless
signal to the DLC. The wireless signal will be repeated every 20 seconds as long as smoke is
still present. In order to reduce the likelihood of reporting false smoke alarms, the Fire Alarm
Verification feature can be used. If the Fire Alarm Verification feature is enabled, the DLC waits
for two smoke detector signals within 25 seconds before a smoke alarm is reported to the AT&T
Digital Life Central Monitoring Center.
In addition to the photoelectric detector, the unit contains an integrated fixed 135° temperature
and rate-of-rise heat sensor that will send an alarm signal based on temperature detected.
3. Verify that the desired change has been made.
3.4 Troubleshooting Wireless Devices
DLD can be utilized the by a DLT to assist in troubleshooting issues that may arise
during the installation of a wireless device or devices, such as window/door sensors and
keypads. Within DLD the DLT can enable the monitoring of received wireless signal
strength in the DLC for selected wireless device or devices. The possible values are
presented from highest signal strength to lowest signal strength:
Unacceptable (Too Hot)
Best
Good
Acceptable
Low
Weak
These values apply to both 433MHz and 915MHz devices. In general, if a DLT observes
a Signal Strength of “Low”, the DLT will install a repeater.
As depicted in Figure 20, Figure 21 and Figure 22 under the Devices tab the DLT will
select the Device Information screen for the specific wireless device that they want to
troubleshoot and enable Signal Strength monitoring on the DLC. The DLT can repeat the
steps for other devices.

5 System Installation
During the installation process, initially the DLT determines where to install the DLC
cabinet. The DLT will measure AT&T Cellular Data Service signal strength at various
locations in the home using an application installed on their wireless tablet device. The DLT
will take into consideration AT&T Cellular Data Service strength measurements when
determining where to install the cabinet. An AC power outlet must be in the proximity of the
DLC. After identifying the DLC installation location, the DLT will install the DLC AC-to-AC
Adapter with Integrated HPAV functionality at the planned location.
NOTE: DO NOT connect the DLC Cabinet to an AC power outlet that is controlled by a
switch.
Next, the DLT will go to the location of the customer’s Broadband Home Router (BHR) and
install a HomePlug AV (HPAV) to Ethernet Bridge and establish an Ethernet connection
with the BHR using a Cat5 cable. The DLT will verify that there is a HPAV network
connection between the HPAV to Ethernet Bridge at the customer’s BHR and the DLC ACto-AC Adapter with Integrated HPAV at the planned location of the installation of the DLC
Cabinet. Afterwards, the DLT will return to the planned location for the installation of the
DLC Cabinet and proceed with the installation of the cabinet. This step includes terminating
the power and data cabling on the adapter and in the DLC cabinet.
In summary, there are the nine (9) steps for installing the DLC Cabinet:
1. Check AT&T Cellular Data Service signal strength

The repeater has two non-rechargeable CR123 batteries as a backup power supply. The
batteries can be replaced by removing the unit from the wall and opening the battery
compartment located on the rear of the unit.
6.2 433MHz Products
The 433MHz devices feature one-way communication with the DLC. The 433MHz
devices are:
Smoke Detector
Carbon Monoxide (CO) Detector
Vanishing Door/Window (D/W) Sensor
Recessed D/W (RDW) Sensor
Glass Break Detector
Motion Detector (PIR)
Key Fob
Takeover Module
433MHz Repeater
Temperature/Flood Sensor (Not Evaluated by UL)
Garage Door Tilt Sensor (Not Evaluated by UL)
Approximately once an hour the 433MHz devices automatically transmit supervisory
messages to the DLC. These supervisory messages are also known as heartbeat
messages. These supervisory messages communicate the identity of the device, device
specific information and if the battery level is low. A 433MHz device only sends a
supervisory message if it has not sent any transmissions to the DLC within the last hour.
If the DLC does not receive three consecutive hourly supervisory messages from a
433MHz device, then the device is considered to be offline and an advisory message is
automatically sent to the Central Monitoring Center.
The Takeover Module and 433MHz Repeater always send supervisory messages to the
DLC on an hourly basis independent of previous transmissions to the DLC. The
Takeover Module and 433MHz Repeater normally operate on power from an AC to DC
converter. Both devices are also equipped with batteries that support 24 hour battery

Installation and Operations Manual
WARNING: The DLS supports Fire Alarm Verification for use with smoke detectors which
can be utilized to delay the transmission of a smoke alarm to the AT&T Digital Life Central
Monitoring Center. When smoke is detected, the alarm sounds a loud temporal 3 local
alarm. Twenty (20) seconds after the local alarm sounds, the built-in transmitter sends a
digitally coded wireless signal to the DLC. The wireless signal will be repeated every 20
seconds as long as smoke is still present. In order to reduce the likelihood of reporting false
smoke alarms, the Fire Alarm Verification feature can be used. If the Fire Alarm Verification
feature is enabled, the DLC waits for two smoke detector signals within 25 seconds before
a smoke alarm is reported to the AT&T Digital Life Central Monitoring Center.
In addition to the photoelectric detector, the unit contains an integrated fixed 135°
temperature and rate-of-rise heat sensor that will send an alarm signal based on
temperature detected.
