desired name. At any time you can cancel the name edit by pressing the ALPHA
SCROLL knob. Also, if you stop making name changes but fail to press the
SAVE button, the name edit process will automatically cancel after a delay of
about 10 seconds.
Control Modes and Log In Levels
The D-8 control surface is operated in one of three modes. In Administrator
mode access is allowed to all surface functions. In User mode a limited set of user
functions is allowed. The set of functions allowed in User mode is set indepen-
dently for each console using the Bridge XPoint software (see the Bridge Router
manual for details). The third mode, Guest, blocks out Mix-Minus assign, Event
takes, Event saves, and visibility changes from being controlled by the surface.
To change the control mode, begin
by pressing and holding the SOURCE
SELECT knob until the display reads
“Admin” and the TAKE button lights (if
the surface is currently in Admin mode
the SET button will also light). Turn
SOURCE SELECT until the desired new
mode (Admin, User, or Guest) is showing in the display and press TAKE. Turn
SOURCE SELECT again to select the first digit of the password. Default
passwords, which may be changed in XPoint, are “1234” for Admin, “2222” for
User, and “0000” for Guest. After dialing up the first character of the password,
press TAKE. Then dial up the second digit. Continue this procedure until the four
characters have been entered. Upon pressing TAKE after entering the fourth
character, the display will read “Okay...” if you were successful and “Sorry...”
if you were not. When finished, turn SOURCE SELECT until the display reads
“<<Exit” and press TAKE to finish the mode select operation.
The SET button lights as you select the mode that the surface is currently in.
If you press TAKE when displaying the current mode, the display will switch to
“Okay...” and you will not need to enter the password. If you stop partway
through the procedure, the mode selection process will time out after about 15
seconds.
Once a given control mode is selected for a surface, that setting will persist
through a power cycle or surface reset.
Programmable Buttons
These six (6) momentary switches and
indicating LEDs are designed for user acces-
sible external functions (GPI/GPOs). With
these switches the user can fire Salvos or
make a temporary crosspoint without having
to wire any physical logic ports. These
switches may also be mapped to control physical Logic card output ports, and the
LEDs on the Spare buttons may also be lit by a remote device connected to a
Logic card input port. See the User Programming section in the Appendix 2 of
this manual for details.
