troller that allows you to lock and unlock supported Dante devices using a 4-digit PIN (Personal Identification Number). When a
device has a Dante lock turned on, Dante audio will continue to flow according to existing subscriptions, but its subscriptions
and settings can't be controlled or configured.
If you forget your Dante Device Lock PIN, see the Device Lock section of the Dante Controller User Guide for instructions on
how to proceed.

When a device is managed by a Dante Domain and the Dante Domain is disconnected, access to Dante settings, device
factory reset and device firmware updates will be disabled. When a device reconnects to the Dante Domain, it follows the
policy set for it in the Dante Domain.
See the Dante Domain Manager User Guide for more information.
