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 “Locking an RCP-ME” on page 62).
To protect a destination
1. Make the switch.
2. Press the
PROTECT button.
The
PROTECT button and the protected crosspoint are illuminated. The screen indicates that a protect is in
place by showing the protection indicator at the bottom left of the screen.
