If you enter a Passcode that does not exist, an “Invalid Passcode” message ap-
pears.
C) Choose Unlock.
You will be able to access 8400 functions allowed by the privilege level of
your passcode.
After you have finished working, the panel will automatically re-lock after the
time delay set in step 2 on page 2-41. Provided you have
All Screens privi-
leges, you can set the delay as desired by following the instructions in that
step.
8400 User Interface Behavior during Lockout
Meters are not visible during lockout unless you enter a Passcode of any privilege level.
Instead, a Lockout screen replaces the Meters screen. It displays Input Status, Time, Date,
Studio Name, Mod. Reduction Status, and Help Text.
The On-Air Preset and Meters do not appear to prevent your competitors from seeing
them if your 8400 is installed in a shared facility.
The diagnostic and contrast screens are unavailable during lockout unless you enter a
passcode of any privilege level.
Default ADMIN Passcode
When you first open to the Security screen on the 8400, there is one default passcode:
ADMIN (all capitals), which has
All Screens privileges. This passcode permits an initial
connection to the 8400/PD via PC remote; you must enter ADMIN when PC Remote asks
you for a passcode.
The 8400/PD has a blank front panel. Only an external PC running the 8400 PC Remote
application can control it.
The front panel lockout feature’s default setting is
Off, so standard 8400s (with full-
featured front panels) will not have the lockout feature functioning until a lockout time is
set.
Any passcode you have programmed into the 8400 (via step 3 on page 2-41) allows PC
Remote connections with the same privileges. For example, if you connect to the PC
Re-
mote and use a Passcode with
All Screens access, this Passcode will allow full access to
the 8400 from that PC. Conversely, if you connect to the 8400 with a Passcode that only
allows access to the “Presets” on the 8400, you will only be able to recall presets from the
PC Remote.
To ensure good security, you should first create a new All Screens passcode and
then delete the ADMIN passcode (in that order) to prevent others from accessing
