Setting the Control Panel Password
The Optima SD has a control panel which can be locked and unlocked (see the CP-15 Control Panel
Instruction Manual, available on the AMX AutoPatch CD or at www.amx.com). Using XNConnect, you
can customize a password consisting of five digits between 1 and 8 that are entered on the control panel
using a combination of five of the first eight Input Keys (keys can be used multiple times).
The system connected to the PC must be powered up before the password can be loaded to the control
panel. If not already connected, complete the first five steps of the instructions for “Discovering a
System” on page 55.
To set the password and load it to the control panel:
1.
Discover the system (see page 55) or open the .xcl file (see page 56).
1. In the Hardware view, right-click the CP-15 Control Panel icon.
(If the control panel’s icon is not displayed, double-click the Optima SD icon.)
2. Select Set Password from the drop-down menu.
The Set Control Panel Password dialog box opens.
