INSTALLATION ORBAN MODEL 8685
access to the 8685 from that PC. Conversely, if you connect to the 8685 with a Pass-
code that only allows access to the “Presets” on the 8685, you will only be able to
recall presets from the PC Remote.
To ensure good security, you should first create a new ALL ACCESS passcode
and then delete the ADMIN passcode (in that order) to prevent others from
accessing your 8685 with the ADMIN passcode. The longer a passcode is, the
more secure it is. Moreover, the most secure passcodes use a random combination of
letters and numbers.
Security and Orban’s PC Remote Application
Any passcodes set on the 8685 will allow the PC Remote application to connect via
direct, modem and Ethernet connections at the level authorized by the passcode.
• If no Passcodes are assigned to 8685 except the ADMIN default passcode;
When you attempt a connection to the 8685 via Direct, Modem, and Ethernet
connections, the “Enter Passcode Screen” will prompt you to enter a Passcode.
Type in ADMIN from your keyboard. This will allow you full access to the 8685 via
the PC Remote.
To ensure that your 8685 is fully protected, create a new passcode that has A
LL
SCREENS access. Then delete the ADMIN passcode.
See step 3 on page 2-41 for instructions on how to create a new passcode and
step (5.C) on page 2-42 for instructions on how to delete a passcode.
• Using passcodes to end PC Remote connections from the 8685 front panel:
If
you try to access an 8685 from its front panel while a remote connection exists,
a message will appear asking you whether you want to disconnect the remote
connection. If you choose to disconnect the connection, the “Enter Passcode
Screen” will appear if the unit is locked out.
Passcodes and Software Updates
PC Remote allows a software update to occur regardless of passcode level of the
8685 PC Remote connection. However, PC Remote will only offer to perform a
software update if the version of PC Remote higher than the version of the software
installed in your 8685. Hence, this does not create a significant security issue; the
8685 is silent for only a few seconds when it reboots following a software update
because the DSP continues to process audio while the update is occurring.
If you have forgotten your “All Access” passcode…
You can access the 8685 even if you have forgotten your ALL SCREENS passcode.
A) Press the E
NTER button within two seconds after the 8685 displays its “Please
wait while Optimod initializes” screen upon boot-up.
