Lockout Active Function (Excludes EC-V Model)
The 'Lockout Active' button on the Contrio Default Control Panel provides
a mechanism to disable a Contrio controller until a security PIN is entered.
This might be appropriate when the controller is located in a public area and
restricted access to the controller functions is required. When the unit is
'locked', any button press or rotary movement will be ignored.
The desired 4-digit security PIN for a Contrio controller may be configured
in the controller's 'Properties' section from within Audio Architect and is
composed of the digits 1, 2, 3, and 4. This security PIN only becomes active
on the controller if the Lockout Active button is enabled and after going online
and loading the design file to the controller.
To unlock a locked controller:
1.
While the controller is in the 'locked' state, either press any button or turn
the rotary encoder. All LEDs on the controller will flash RED, indicating it
is locked and the message 'Controller Locked – Push and hold any button
to enter PIN' will be displayed.
2.
The numbers 1, 2, 3, and 4 will be displayed next to the buttons. Simply
press the corresponding buttons to enter the PIN sequence.
3.
When a correct PIN sequence is entered, all LEDs on the controller will
flash GREEN twice, confirming the unit is now 'unlocked' and normal
operation of the buttons and rotary control will be possible.
NOTE:
If the PIN sequence entered is incorrect, the controller will flash RED
twice, indicating it is still in the 'locked' state and the above procedure must
be performed again.
You can use Audio Architect to unlock a currently locked Contrio controller
(e.g., If you have forgotten the Lockout PIN).
To unlock a locked controller via Audio Architect:
1.
Load the Audio Architect (AA) design file which matches the controller.
2.
From the main AA view, left-click on the corresponding controller.
3.
In the 'Properties' window select the Configuration Tab then delete all
characters from the 'Lockout PIN' field.
4.
In the main view, right-click on the controller and select the 'Show
Default Control Panel' option.
5.
Disable both the 'Lockout on Sleep' and 'Lockout Active' buttons.
