Preparing the MLC for front panel lockout
To allow access to front panel changes to specifi c personnel while the front panel is
locked, you can set a user and/or administrator PIN and set which type of PIN, if
any, is allowed to unlock the panel.
Setting up and enabling or disabling PINs
1. Install and start the Extron Global Confi gurator (GC) software. See chapter 4.
2. Open an existing GC project or start a new project. Refer to the GC help fi le or
the MLC 226 IP Series Setup Guide for instructions.
3. In the IP Link tab area on the left side of the screen, click on the name of the
MLC you want to set up.
4. Click on the Advanced Configuration tab.
5. Select which PIN to enable (which PIN will be allowed to unlock the front
panel), or disable both PINs so that no one can access the front panel during
front panel lockout.
6. Type in the four-digit PINs for the administrator and for users. Each digit of
the PIN must be a number from 1 to 6 because they represent the MLC’s six
input buttons, which will be used as a numeric keypad. By default, both PINs
are set to 1346.
7. Complete the rest of the confi guration, then save
the project: click File and then Save or click the
Save icon, shown at right.
8. Upload (build) the confi guration to the MLC.
