Protected Configuration

The Protected Configuration is a password (PIN) protected configuration containing all elements, i.e., includes all level settings, DSP processing, all ties, and video controls. The Protected Configuration can be used to bring the device back to a known state in order to remotely troubleshoot the installation. It can be recalled by any user, but can only be written/overwritten using an (up to) 4-digit PIN. Utilities for save/recall/change PIN, separate from Preset save, are accessed from the Tools menu under the Protected Configuration menu item. These functions can also be performed via SIS commands.

Protected Configuration menu items are available in Live mode from the Tools | Protected Configuration menu. These functions can only be performed in when connected to the device, and are unavailable in Emulate mode.
