Epica DGX 32 Instruction Manual
Modifying an .xcl Configuration File
Modifying an .xcl configuration file with XNConnect involves entering information in a field or in a
series of dialog boxes. A brief look at the contents in the Help file provides a quick overview of the
possible modifications.
This section provides instructions for two common tasks: setting the control panel password and creating
local presets. For complete coverage of configuration related tasks, see the XNConnect Help file.
Setting the Control Panel Password
The control panel can be locked and unlocked (for directions, see page 70). Locking the panel prohibits
access to the system and can prevent accidental switching. The password can be set either with the
control panel (see page 74) or with XNConnect (see below). If a password has been created and
downloaded to the system from XNConnect, a new password can be set from the control panel to replace
it; however, the previous one
must
be entered first. If a password is set with the control panel, a new
password can be set and downloaded to the system using XNConnect.
The password consists of five digits between 1 and 8 that are entered on the control panel using a
combination of five of the first eight Input Keys (keys can be used multiple times).
The system connected to the PC
must
be powered up before the password can be loaded to the control
panel. If not already connected, complete the first five steps of the instructions for “Discovering a
System” on page 112.
To set the password and load it to the control panel:
1.
Discover the system (see page 112) or open the .xcl file (see page 113).
2.
In the Hardware view, right-click the control panel icon (CP-15 style).
If the control panel icon is not displayed, double-click the Epica DGX 32 icon.
3.
Select Set Password from the drop-down menu.
The Set Control Panel Password dialog box opens.
4.
Enter a single digit between one and eight (inclusive) in each field.
5.
Check the box for Configure Password Immediately.
Important: If you use the Configure menu instead of checking the box, the only configuration option
that will load password information is Configure \ Configure Special - Hardware \ Configure All
Passwords.
6.
Click OK.
The updated password information is immediately loaded to the control panel, and the new
password sequence
must
be used to lock and unlock the control panel.
7.
From the File menu, select Save As and save an .xcl file with a new name to the PC.
(We
strongly
recommend making a duplicate copy every time the file is modified.)
