Applied firmware package: v1.6.0b19 | LDC software: v2.5.13b5
MAC Filter Allowlist
Another level of the security is the MAC Filtering tool. You can create a list of network devices based on the
MAC address that are allowed:
#macfilter
▪
Controlling the device (Send option), or
▪
Querying parameters (Receive option) to/from the Lightware device.
Do not forget to press the
Apply changes
button to store the new settings.
ATTENTION!
The first three lines (as seen in the picture) are factory default values and they are necessary
for the proper working.
ATTENTION!
If the device is installed in a network where it gets IP address from a DHCP server and you
plan to use the MAC filtering, make sure the MAC address of the DHCP server is added to the whitelist.
Otherwise, the device will not get an IP address and will be unreachable.

Front Panel
Front panel tab in the Settings menu
Front Panel Settings
▪
Lock front panel:
When this option is enabled, the front panel buttons are locked and they can be unlocked
by disabling this option, pressing the
OUT2 Video select
and the
Set audio config
buttons together or with
LW3 protocol command.
▪
Dark mode enable:
When Dark mode is enabled, all LEDs on the unit are switched off after 1 minute
(by default) if no buttons are pressed. Pressing any button brings back the status info on the LEDs
without performing the function of the button itself.
#darkmode
The further options can be used to set the default function for the buttons or disable and use them for
another function by the Event manager.

Details about this function can be found in the

section.

System
System tab in Settings menu
Cleartext Login (Login Settings)
DIFFERENCE:
This feature is available only from FW package v1.6.0b19.
This cleartext login tool allows setting a password for login, thus the device will not accept any command
coming from a control interface (RS-232, Ethernet, etc…) without login. The device will be visible in the Device
Discovery window (as the device type and the serial number can be queried without login), but connection
can be established only after successful login. The login is valid until a TCP socket break in case of Ethernet
connection.
#login
INFO:
The login password is erased and the login is disabled when restoring the factory default values.
