Note that unless the system is on-line, no prompt to send lock status to units will appear.
Once locked, each unit will display a confirmation
message on the bottom line of its display, and the
software will change all locked parameters to grey
text boxes.
Considering the output equalisation screen previewed earlier, it will change to be displayed as shown below.
This demonstrates both levels of lock - the high and low pass filters are locked at the ‘Display Locked’ level, whilst the
parametric filters are locked at the ‘Changes Locked’ level.
Remember that it is not possible to lock the units after the software has been locked.
As mentioned earlier, the supervisor ultimately has control - only those parameters not locked by the supervisor are
available to the user.
Making the Security More Secure…
Some points worth remembering when locking your units to make them as secure as possible:
Firstly, remember that even when the units are locked from the front panel, they may still be accessible through their
remote interface and AudioCore. When connected units are scanned, all locking stored in the unit(s) is ignored, although
they will remain locked when disconnected again. If you want to make the unit completely secure, make sure you set the
interface to “off” before locking the unit via the front panel.
If you want the unit to not be lockable via the front panel, simply press the lock button and leave all sections set to “No
Locking”. Then press “Close Level” and, when asked, choose to send the locking status to the units. In this way, all the
functions will be accessible, but if someone tries to access the security menu from the unit’s front panel, it will ask for a
password, before allowing access to any locking features.
The password set in AudioCore is stored in the file when this is saved on the computer.
If you forget this password, your file cannot be unlocked with a master password!
The file will have to be cracked by us, so you will need to get in touch and send us a copy…
