The Lock PIN is set on this screen. Using the Lock PIN will prevent 
anyone who is not authorized from accessing the Multiverse 
Transmitter from their DMXcat app.   
 
Insert any PIN from 0001 to 9999. Insert 0000 to remove PIN. 
 
To reset a lost PIN, depress the switch inside the very small hole on 
the end of the Transmitter just to the right of the Ethernet input. 
 
Note:   Holding this switch for approximately five seconds will reset 
the entire Transmitter to factory defaults.
