Important: The control displays the active communication parameters if

one of the communication ports has been chosen. If the communication

port parameters do not match that of the peripheral device, they must be

altered for a successful copy to take place. For details on setting

communication port parameters, see page NO TAG.

This section contains information on how to select the protectable part
program directory. Use this directory to store part programs that you wish

to control access to. When part programs that have previously been

protected through encryption are downloaded to the control from ODS or

the Mini DNC package, they are automatically stored in the protectable

part program directory.

Important: The

{CHANGE DIR}

softkey controls access to the protectable

part program directory. This softkey is password protected. You must

have the proper password to access this softkey.

If you have access to the

{CHANGE DIR}

softkey, you can:

perform any of the program edit functions on the protected programs
directly select and activate any of the protected programs
view programs executing from this directory

You can only call a protected program from a main program using a

subprogram, G-code macro, or M-code macro call without access to the

{CHANGE DIR}

softkey.

If you do not have access to the

{CHANGE DIR}

softkey, you cannot view

the executing blocks of the program called from the protected directory.
