Remote Login
When Remote Login is clicked, a password prompt box will open
as shown below:
Remote login is for password restricting GUI access to an
AM‑10HD over Ethernet. When a GUI TCP connection session is
initiated, the AM‑10HD accepts the connection and then asks the
remote GUI for a password.
If the remote GUI cannot provide the correct password, then a
dialog box will pop up asking the user to enter the correct password.
Until the login password can be verified the AM‑10HD will not send any of its
current settings to the remote GUI nor accept any changes
from
the connecting GUI.
The Remote Login dialog box allows you to change the login password. You
need to know the current password beforehand, and also enter the new one twice
for verification. The password can be any combination of characters, numbers, or
symbols. If the “Remember this password” check box is checked, the GUI stores
the password on the local PC. If you do not check the check box you will be asked
for the password the next time you connect (since the first round of verification
will fail). When asked for a password while logging in you can also check the
“remember” box to save what you enter. That way you don’t need to enter the
password every time you login.
Occasionally you may see the word “pending” temporarily appear in the con‑
nection status box of the remote GUI. That means the AM‑10HD and Remote
GUI are handshaking on the password string that is being sent.
Front Panel
The Front Panel Password button allows the
assignment of pass codes to the AM‑10HD front
panel to control access to it. Front panel access
may also be completely disallowed by checking
the Disable Front Panel choice in the Front Panel
Password dialog. Note that “locking out” the
front panel does not disable the ability of the
encoder knob to alter the headphone volume.
