Extron recommends editing the settings on this screen using the
RS-232 or RS-422 link and protecting the Ethernet access to this screen by
assigning an administrator password to qualified and knowledgeable personnel
only.

When the control program is connected to the HDXP via the RS-232 or RS-422
link, the

a password has been inadvertently changed to an unknown value, you can look
up and, if desired, change a password in this window without knowing the current
password.
