22.11 THE ‘TARGET NAME AND GROUP NAME’ IDENTIFIERS
As explained in the introduction, in bidirectional connection mode (local) it is possible to assign each
processor with a specific identification code (called the ‘Target Name’), as well as a classification group,
which is useful when you wish to selectively program the processor from remote sites over a unidirectional
connection (see next chapter).
-
To do so, open the submenu ‘Setup’ and enter the Target Name and/or Group Name (it is not essential
to assign both) in the spaces provided. Each word must be made up of a maximum of 8 characters
(upper or lower case), without spaces. Be careful not to assign the same Target name or the same
Group name to two different devices. Once you have finished entering information, click the ‘Change’
button
For example, a national network could assign the Group Name field to the region where the processor is in
operation, and give the Target name the name of the town hosting the broadcasting site, or the city covered
by that site.
For example, suppose you have 3 processors in the Tuscany region (the first covers Lucca, the second
Florence and the third Pisa) and 4 others in the Marches (Pesaro, Ancona, Urbino, Macerata). The Target
name and Group Name will be programmed for the individual machines as follows: Group name = Tuscany,
Target Name = Lucca for the first processor, Group name = Tuscany, Target Name = Florence for the
second processor, etc.
NOTE: the Target Name and Group Name windows at the top of the screen are disabled, since these access
keys may be used for programming the processors only in unidirectional connection mode.
22.12 PROCESSOR PANEL LOCK FUNCTION
The ‘Lock Remote System’ option allows you to block any access to the processor parameters via the front
panel.
Locking/unlocking can only take place via control software, by entering the password in the space provided
in the Setup window.
To activate the lock function, type a password and then click on the corresponding button next to it (Lock).
You may remove the connection to the PC. To unlock the panel, type the same password, and then click
on Unlock. Note: the password may be changed during each access.
