Operating Manual - PROTEA SYSTEM II Digital Audio Products

5.3.8  SECURITY

Protea products have three levels of

password-protected security to prevent unwanted
tampering or accidental mistakes.  Before mak-
ing any security level changes, the screen
prompts for the current password.  The factory
default password is 1234.

The password can be up to 10 alpha-

numeric characters, and is updated by pressing
the CHANGE softkey, entering the current pass-
word followed by the ENTER softkey, then en-
tering the new password followed again by the
ENTER softkey.  Note that the password is CASE
SENSITIVE
, meaning that upper-case letters are
viewed as being different from lower case let-
ters.  The Security screen always initializes with
lower case letters.
  Use the CAPSLOCK key to
toggle between upper and lower case.

Note:  In the event of a forgotten password, turn the AC power on while holding down both ESC

keys to display the current password.

ALL ACCESS, as the name implies, allows the user to edit or save any parameter in real time.

Selecting PRESETS LOCKED allows editing, but prevents the user from saving any changes to a preset.

For absolute protection, FULL LOCKOUT prevents the user from changing anything, including user prefer-

ences and MIDI setup.  The user may view, but not change, the current settings of all local channels, user preferences,
and MIDI.  Once the proper security level has been selected, press the ENTER softkey, or Esc to initiate.

Note:  A Remote control or PC will override any security level, as will the master unit in a multi-unit system.

5.4  ON-LINE  HELP

Basic on-line help is available for fundamental Protea functions.  Pressing the HELP key brings up a list of

topics which can be scrolled through with the up/down arrows.   When the correct topic is showing, press HELP a
second time to display a comment on the desired topic.

5.5  ESC

This is the ESCAPE key.  It's job is to instantly exit the current menu location and return the user to the EQ

screen of the current channel.  Note that pressing Esc while a dialog box is open (Save, Recall, Copy, Flat, Password
Enter or Change) only cancels the dialog box.  Pressing Esc a second time will return to the EQ screen.

5.6  RECALL

Recalling a PRESET gives the current channel specific settings regarding all audio functions.  Protea systems

store 128 different user-defined PRESET NUMBERS or PRESET NAMES, both referring to the same settings which
can be recalled to the current channel.  Every preset has a number (1-128), but a name is optionally entered by the user.
