3 Control Center Software
A
No Credentials
user is anyone who logs into
a computer with the ECC app but is not a mem-
ber of any ECC User Group. If they open the ECC
app the standard HDE-200 monitor screen can
be viewed. They can also change which HDE-200
is being monitoring and select between pre- and
post-delay metering, but most other menu items
are grayed out.
A
Censor
is one step above a
No Credentials
user: they have the same basic signal level moni-
toring and selection abilities and most menu items
are grayed out. The difference: a Censor, typically
assigned to show producers when the optional Pro-
fanity Delay feature is active, have control of the
Profanity Delay dump button.
A
User
has the same privileges as a Censor but
also has basic control over the Diversity Delay (the
Ramp Up/Down buttons are active). If the Pro-
fanity Delay is installed, a User also has control
over Dump, Ramp to Zero, and Rebuild. This user
group is for nontechnical station personnel like
board operators.
An
Engineer
has almost full ECC app access,
and hence, can change most HDE-200 operating
parameters. Anything but network settings can be
adjusted, saved, and then uploaded to the HDE-
200. This user (along with a Commissioner) can
also upgrade the operating system on the HDE-
200 or the ECC app itself. This access level should
be limited to the engineering staff with direct re-
sponsibilities for the HDE-200 Exporters.
A
Commissioner
is the super user (like a com-
puter administrator). They have full access to all
ECC app features including the ability to change
the HDE-200 network settings. This setting is for
the chief engineer and for IT techs or system in-
stallers that need to change network settings (IP
address, subnet, etc.) on the HDE-200 Exporters.
The table illustrates the specific control permis-
sions for the four HDE-200 User Groups and the
No Credentials user. Note that you do not have to
set up and use these User Groups when the ECC
app is being run under the control of the engi-
neering staff on a secure administration PC.
Again, these User Groups are not activated in
the ECC app until the
Enable Security
button, in
the
System > Preferences pop-up window, is
clicked. At that time the User Groups are acti-
vated to allow different people, with different lev-
els of permission, to alternately use the same ECC
app on any networked computer.
When a user logs into Windows and launches
the ECC app, his User Group credentials (or lack
thereof) define which functions can be performed
in the ECC app, as outlined above.
NOTE:
If multiple users access a com-
puter running the ECC app, always
close the ECC app (and the Logger
utility if it is running) before logging
off the computer. If this is not done, a
port error will be shown when another
user opens the ECC app, and security
settings, if active will be compromised.
