The diagnostic screens are unavailable during lockout unless you enter a passcode of
any privilege level.
Default ADMIN Passcode
When you first open to the Security screen on the 8600, there is one default
passcode: ADMIN (all capitals), which has
A
LL
S
CREENS
privileges. This passcode per-
mits an initial connection to the 8600 and 8600X via PC remote; you must enter
ADMIN when PC Remote asks you for a passcode.
The 8600X has a blank front panel. Only an external PC running the 8600 PC Remote
application can control it.
The front panel lockout feature’s default setting is
O
FF
, so standard 8600s (with full-
featured front panels) will not have the lockout feature functioning until a lockout
time is set.
Any passcode you have programmed into the 8600 (via step 3 on page 2-45) allows
PC Remote connections with the same privileges. For example, if you connect to the
PC Remote and use a Passcode with
A
LL
S
CREENS
access, this Passcode will allow full
access to the 8600 from that PC. Conversely, if you connect to the 8600 with a
Passcode that only allows access to the “Presets” on the 8600, you will only be able
to recall presets from the PC Remote.
To ensure good security, you should first create a new
A
LL
S
CREENS
passcode
and then delete the ADMIN passcode (in that order) to prevent others from
accessing your 8600 with the ADMIN passcode. The longer a passcode is, the
more secure it is. Moreover, the most secure passcodes use a random combination of
letters and numbers.
Security and Orban’s PC Remote Application
Any passcodes set on the 8600 will allow the PC Remote application to connect via
direct, modem and Ethernet connections at the level authorized by the passcode.
•
If no Passcodes are assigned to 8600 except the ADMIN default Passcode:
When you attempt a connection to the 8600 via Direct, Modem, and Ethernet
connections, the “Enter Passcode Screen” will prompt you to enter a Passcode.
Type in ADMIN from your keyboard. This will allow you full access to the 8600 via
the PC Remote.
To ensure that your 8600 is fully protected, create a new passcode that has
A
LL
S
CREENS
access. Then delete the ADMIN passcode.
See step 3 on page 2-45 for instructions on how to create a new passcode and
step (5.C) on page 2-46 for instructions on how to delete a passcode.

Using passcodes to end PC Remote connections from the 8600 front panel:
If you try to access an 8600 from its front panel while a remote connection exists,
a message will appear asking you whether you want to disconnect the remote
