Locking and Unlocking Settings
The remote controllers and the PC include a flexible locking
1
mechanism for
safeguarding settings on switchers. To prevent changing the settings
accidentally
2
, lock your switchers. Unlocking releases
3
the protection
mechanism.
From any remote controller you can lock and unlock the following
4
:
A specific switcher
All switchers
That specific remote controller
From the PC
5
you can lock and unlock the following:
A specific switcher
All switchers
Locking a specific remote controller does not lock any other remote
controller. To lock all the remote controllers, press the TAKE and the STO
push buttons on each remote controller separately. You cannot
simultaneously lock or unlock all the remote controllers from one remote
controller, or from the PC. When all switchers and remote controllers are
locked, the front panel switcher push buttons are inoperative. By design, only
specific
6
remote controller push buttons will function, enabling the operator
to execute the unlock commands.
Section 8.2.3.1 describes how to lock the switcher and section 8.2.3.2
describes how to unlock the switcher. For a concise summary of the
locking/unlocking push button sequence, refer to Table 9 on page 30.
1 Locking means that the front panel is locked. In all other respects (for example, recall, changing input and output), the
switcher still operates via the remote controller and the PC
2 Especially if the system is complex and the switchers are stored on a rack in another room
3 Restarting (perhaps due to an electricity failure) a switcher or a remote controller also releases the protection mechanism
(without wiping out the switcher settings)
