28.11 THE ‘TARGET NAME AND GROUP NAME’ IDENTIFIERS
As explained in the introduction, in bidirectional connection mode (local) it is possible to assign each processor with a
specific identification code (called the ‘Target Name’), as well as a classification group, which is useful when you wish to
selectively program the processor from remote sites over a unidirectional connection (see next chapter
).
- To do so, open the submenu ‘Setup’ and enter the Target Name and/or Group Name (it is not essential to assign
both) in the spaces provided. Each word must be made up of a maximum of 8 characters (upper or lower case),
without spaces. Be careful not to assign the same Target name or the same Group name to two different
devices. Once you have finished entering information, click the ‘Change’ button
For example, a national network could assign the Group Name field to the region where the processor is in operation,
and give the Target name the name of the town hosting the broadcasting site, or the city covered by that site.
For example, suppose you have 3 processors in the Tuscany region (the first covers Lucca, the second Florence and the
third Pisa) and 4 others in the Marches (Pesaro, Ancona, Urbino, Macerata). The Target name and Group Name will be
programmed for the individual machines as follows: Group name = Tuscany, Target Name = Lucca for the first
processor, Group name = Tuscany, Target Name = Florence for the second processor, etc.
NOTE: the Target Name and Group Name windows at the top of the screen are disabled, since these access keys may
be used for programming the processors only in unidirectional connection mode.
28.12 PROCESSOR PANEL LOCK FUNCTION
The ‘Lock Remote System’ option allows you to block any access to the processor parameters via the front panel.
Locking/unlocking can only take place via control software, by entering the password in the space provided in the Setup
window.
To activate the lock function, type a password and then click on the corresponding button next to it (Lock). You may
remove the connection to the PC. To unlock the panel, type the same password, and then click on Unlock. Note: the
password may be changed during each access.
