tion on the AM‑55 hardware. When selected, this option prevents all front panel access
leaving the only access via a remotely connected software GUI.
No Password Required
– Clicking this option removes a front panel password if one
is already assigned and also makes the front panel accessible without using any passcode.
Password
– Clicking this option prompts the user for a front panel passcode. If a
passcode is entered and one has never been assigned before, that passcode becomes
the front panel passcode and local access to front panel functions will require the use
of this passcode.
If a passcode had already been assigned to the front panel, entering a passcode in
this dialog will immediately change the front panel password to the one that was entered
via this GUI dialog.
If the front panel has been locked and the passcode lost or forgotten, local front panel
access can be regained by using the GUI to either assign a new and known passcode,
or remove an existing passcode by clicking the No Password Required option and then
clicking
Ok.
Note that the hardware may also be unlocked by other, much less convenient means.
Please contact the factory for the procedure if it become necessary.
GUI Access
The system allows you to grant access at certain levels of permission in
order to control the privileges of those accessing the various features of the
AM‑55. Privileges are granted by
Access Code, not by user type. In fact, user
types are created through
the generation of access codes for those user types.
Examples:
• Suppose
Access Code
0000 is created with
Preset Takes being the only
box checked. This means that a user which has been assigned access
code 0000 can
only
take presets.
• Suppose
Access Code
5678 is created with
Preset Takes
and
Setting
Changes
both checked. This means that a user with access code 5678
cannot only take presets, but can also make changes to the settings
within those presets. Note, however, that because
Preset Saves was not
checked
when this access code was created, that user may
make changes to a preset but
may not
save
them!
GUI Lock
In the event that security has been en‑
abled by configuring the
GUI Access Code
& Permissions
Dialog (above), then selecting
GUI Lock
will immediately lock the GUI on
the host PC, prohibiting access until it has
been unlocked with the proper access code.
If the access code has been lost or forgot‑
