Assigning a Protect Key
To prevent switching of critical crosspoints by others, assign a protect key for use on the RCP-NKM. The protect
function ensures that the selected destination can only receive the selected source across the selected levels. Once
protected, the selected levels on a destination cannot be switched by other remote control panels (or by the same
remote control panel if
Block All Panels is selected). The source is not protected, and can be freely routed to other
destinations if required. You can protect any number of destinations. For more information see “ Protecting a
Destination ” on page 5–5.
You can also use the protect key to lock the RCP-NKM against all key presses (see “ Locking the RCP-NKM ” on
page 5–4).
Assigning a Protect Key
Protect keys can be assigned using DashBoard.
