10.4.8.3.4 Upgrades need engineer password?
All firmware upgrades are performed via the User Menu (section 10.2.10). The upgrade process may be
password protected if required by setting this option to YES. The Engineer password (if set) will then have to
be entered in order to upgrade the firmware of the VDM.
If this option is set to NO, access to the User Menu is all that is required to perform the upgrade.
10.4.9 Engineer Password
This password, if set to a non-zero value, protects the Engineer Menu.
On entering this password, access is granted to the Engineer Menu, Supervisor menu, User Menu, Incident
Menu, Playback functions and the Keyboard.
If other passwords are set, it is recommended that the Engineer Password be also set to allow a way into the
menus in case any of the others are forgotten.
