Front panel security lockout (Executive mode)
If the switcher is installed in an accessible area, where operation
by unauthorized personnel may be a problem, a security
lock-out feature can be implemented that locks all Input buttons
and the Configuration button. When the front panel is locked, it
cannot be operated. Either an RS-232 function (SIS command or
program operation) or front panel operation (press and hold the
Outputs and Configuration buttons for 3 seconds) is required to
unlock the front panel before it can be operated.
Toggle the front panel lock on and off by clicking the tool bar's
Lock button ( ).
N When the front panel is locked, the switcher still responds
to SIS and control program commands.
N When the front panel is locked, you still can view the tied
inputs by pressing the Outputs button to toggle between
the selection of output 1 and output 2.
