Once you have completed these initial steps, you can place the 8600 in Bypass
mode by remote control at any time:
A) Switch the 8600 into
B
YPASS
mode by a momentary command from your sta-
tion’s remote control to the input programmed as
B
YPASS
.
B) Begin EAS broadcast.
Be sure that you have set drive levels into the 8600 to prevent overmodu-
lation during the test, as the 8600 provides no peak limiting in
B
YPASS
mode.
C) When the EAS broadcast is finished, switch the 8600 from
B
YPASS
mode by a
momentary command from your station’s remote control to the input pro-
grammed as

You may also choose to insert EAS broadcast tones and data directly into the trans-
mitter, thus bypassing the 8600 for the duration of the EAS tones and data broad-
cast.
PC Control and Security Passcode
PC software control provides access to OPTIMOD-FM via network, modem or direct
(null modem cable) connection, with IBM PC-compatible computers running Win-
dows. PC access is permitted only with a valid user-defined passcode.
PC remote control can be ended from the front panel; this feature effectively pre-
vents simultaneous remote and local control.
See Security and Passcode Programming on page 2-44.
