DISABLING SECURITY
With the launch of
firmware version 6.1 for devices with a front panel display and encoder (OCTO, QUATTRO,
rackmount VIAs only)
, it is possible to opt out of the security features altogether. This is designed primarily for the rental
market where devices may be shipped to various locations for use by different end users, where Domain passwords and
Recovery Keys may not be known.
This mode of operation is not a recommended practice
. However, if the production is on a dark network with a known
crew, risk assessment may be weighed against convenience.
It is only possible to disable security settings from the front panel.
It is not possible to do this from Pathscape. You must
perform this action from the Security Mode menu
, which is only shown when no other security mode has been set, i.e.
when new from the factory, or after the device has been Factory Defaulted or had its Security Settings reset.

Opt Out of Security
• From the
Security Mode
menu shown on the LCD, turn the encoder to select
Disable Security
. In the submenu, confirm
by selecting
Opt Out of Security
again.
• You will then be able to access the menus. The device will appear in Pathscape with the Security Domain shown as
“
Disabled by User
”.
• On the front panel display, the bottom line will show “
Security: Disabled by User
” as a reminder and warning.
Devices set to
Disabled by User
will behave like legacy devices and are fully Read/Writable by Pathscape
without needing
to be logged into a Domain
.
These devices will be fully configurable, resettable and rebootable from any PC that has network access,
including
unauthorized parties
.
To re-enable Security on a device that has been
Disabled by User
, use the front panel to Reset Security settings, and add
the device to Pathscape as explained above.
