Locking the RCP-QE
You can lock the RCP-QE if a panel lock or protect button has been assigned to the RCP-QE.
The protect button must be held to lock the RCP-QE.
To lock the RCP-QE using a panel lock button:
1. Press LOCK Off.
The panel lock key flashes red three times before returning to the default status. The label changes to LOCK
On.
Every key on the RCP-QE becomes inactive, except for the LOCK On key.
2. If you want to unlock the RCP-QE, press LOCK On.
The text on the panel lock key changes to LOCK Off.
To lock the RCP-QE using a protect key:

Every key on the RCP-QE becomes inactive except for the PROT Off key and LOCK On key, if assigned.

If a panel lock key is assigned to the RCP-QE, this key changes to LOCK On and the PROT Off key remains

Protecting a Destination
You can use a protect button to prevent switching of critical crosspoints by others. The protect function ensures that
the selected destination can only receive the selected source across the selected levels. Once protected, the selected
levels on a destination cannot be switched by other remote control panels (or by the same remote control panel if
Block All Panels is selected). The source is not protected and can be freely routed to other destinations if required.
You can protect any number of destinations.
You can set the extent of protection that is used via DashBoard, such as protected against other remote control
panels or protected against all remote control panels (see “Assigning a Protect Button” on page 4–23).
To protect a destination:
1. Make the switch.
2. Press PROT Off.
The status of the protect key changes to PROT Loc, and the protection indicator is shown at the bottom right of
both the protect key and the destination key.
If you are protecting a destination on a level for which a routing switcher does not respond, a protect breakaway
error (BwayErr) occurs.
