Soft Panels Console
Soft Panels Console Overview
The Console is primarily used to connect that Soft Panel instance to the
Encore Panel Server or Prelude system routing matrix, at which time the
Soft Panel can become operational. It is also used to assign a name to the
Soft Panel, control some aspects of the GUI display (size, placement), and
on Prelude systems specify network communication settings.
Two different Consoles exist, one used with Encore systems and the other
with Prelude systems. Most of the controls and indicators are the same on
both Consoles.
Console Password
The Console can be password protected to lock the usage of that Soft Panel
instance on that PC. The password window opens when Soft Panels is
launched (
Figure 49 ). By default there is no password; just click OK .
Figure 49. Console Password Window
Click Change Password to enter a password. Once password protected, the
Soft Panel will launch and operate with its last settings, but the Console
will be hidden and button labels will not be editable.
If a panel is password protected, right clicking on the panel brings up a
menu with
Show Console . Clicking on that item and entering the password
will open the Console to permits full Soft Panel control.
