password information is Configure \ Configure Special - Hardware \ Configure All Passwords.
5. Click OK.
The updated password information is immediately loaded to the control panel, and the new
password sequence must be used to lock and unlock the control panel.
6. From the File menu, select Save As and save a duplicate copy of the modified file with a new name
to the PC. (We strongly recommend making a duplicate copy every time the file is modified.)
Creating Local Presets
A local preset is a predetermined collection of switches on the same virtual matrix to be routed
simultaneously. Executing a local preset affects only those inputs and outputs specified, not the whole
system. Local presets are defined using XNConnect and can be executed using a control panel (local or
remote) or using BCS commands as part of a macro in APControl 3.0 or APWeb or entered in a terminal
emulation program. The process for creating local presets involves three dialog boxes that cover
managing, naming, and modifying presets. The Optima SD supports a maximum of 16 local presets.
The instructions below are for creating a local preset. For detailed information on modifying and
deleting local presets, see the XNConnect Help file.
To create a new local preset:
1.
In the Virtual Matrices view, right-click the virtual matrix the preset will be created for and select
Manage Local Presets from the shortcut menu.
The Manage Local Presets dialog box opens.
2. Click the Name New button.
The Name New Preset dialog box opens.
3. Optional – Enter a different preset number (local presets do not need to be numbered sequentially).
