7.3.2 Software Write Protection
By setting a password (eight alphanumeric characters), write protection is enabled. The
password can be set and changed on the “New password” screen. When a password has been
set and it is entered in the “Enable write 10min” screen, the protection is disabled for 10 minutes.
When any data is written to the TDLS8000, the disabled time will be extended for another 10
minutes. This means that the protection is enabled 10 minutes after the last writing.
To disable software write protection indefinitely, enter 8 spaces in the “New password” screen. As
the default, protection is disabled (8 spaces have been entered).
