To secure the DMX Manager Plus, press and hold the cancel (X) button pad
until “Keypad locked” is displayed. The navigation buttons will now be back-lit
red. It is still possible to review the port settings, patch and node configuration.
However, any attempt to change the values will cause “Keypad locked” to be
displayed.
To turn security off, press and hold the cancel (X) button pad until “Keypad
unlocked” is displayed.
WARNING! This function is not intended to provide a high level of security. It
is simply provided as a flag to users that settings should not be casually
modified, and as a passive deterrent to unauthorized users.
A DVANCED C ONFIGURATION
The DMX Manager Plus can be viewed and configured as a Pathport device
on a standard 10/100 TCP/IP Ethernet network, using a personal computer
with Pathport Manager software installed. The computer’s LAN card can be
plugged directly into the ETHERNET port without the need of a crossover
cable or Ethernet switch.
For firmware versions greater than 3.0.4.0, Pathport Manager 4 is
recommended to create, edit and apply custom universes and complex
channel patching.
The software greatly simplifies configuration of systems including multiple DMX
Manager Pluses and multiple input universes. It is also necessary to configure
port behaviour in the event of loss of DMX signal.
