There is no default passcode. The Optimod’s front panel cannot be locked out unless
the Optimod has been assigned at least one All Access
passcode.
Your Optimod secures User Presets by encrypting them (using the Advanced Encryp-
tion Standard algorithm with the session passcode as its key) when PC Remote
fetches them. Hence, a packet sniffer cannot intercept User Presets in plaintext form.
PC Remote then writes the fetched User Presets in encrypted form on your hard
drive, where they remain for the duration of your PC Remote session.
If PC Remote exits normally, it will erase these temporary User Preset files
from your computer’s hard disk. If it does not exit normally, these files
will remain in encrypted form. However, the next time that PC Remote
starts up, it will automatically clean up any orphaned files.
To Create a Passcode:
A) Navigate to SETUP > SECURITY > ADD PASSCODES.
If the front panel is already password protected, you can only access this
screen by entering a passcode with All Access privileges.
B) Use the four soft buttons, labeled“1,” “2,” “3,” and “4,” to create a passcode.
Passcodes can be up to eight characters long but can only contain the
characters “1,” “2,” “3,” and “4.” This limitation makes it easy to enter a
passcode using the four available soft buttons.
C) When you have finished entering your new passcode, write it down so you do
not forget it. Then press the N
EXT button.
If you wish to discard the passcode you just entered, press the ESC button
instead. Then return to step (B).
D) The PERMISSIONS screen appears. Turn the knob to choose the permission level
for the passcode you just created.
If you wish to discard the passcode you just entered, press the PREV but-
ton to return to the Enter Passcode screen or E
SC to return to the Secu-
rity screen.
E) Press the NEXT button to save your new passcode.
To Edit a Passcode:
A) Navigate to S
ETUP > SECURITY > VIEW-EDIT PASSCODES.
