DeviceControl Operation Manual 21
6.2 lock Mode
6.2.1 Overview
DeviceControl functions may be locked to prevent
unauthorized or inadvertent changes to either the
currently loaded configuration or to the operating
status of amplifiers on the network. Two different
Lock Modes are provided:
Lock Configuration (blue icon) – No changes to •
the currently loaded configuration are allowed.
Operate functions (power on/off, solo and mute)
remain enabled when DeviceControl is Online.
Lock Operations and Configuration (yellow •
icon) – DeviceControl essentially functions in
a “monitor mode”. All status, warning and fault
indications remain available, but no changes are
allowed to the configuration or to any operational
function.
6.2.2 Selecting lock Type
To select the desired Lock Type, open the Settings
dialog in the File menu and choose the Locks tab.
Select either Operations or Configuration (Figure
6.4).

6.2.3 Confirmation
A check box on the Locks tab of the Settings dialog
allows you to select a confirmation of the Lock Type
whenever the DeviceControl application is locked. If
checked, the Confirm Lock Type dialog appears each
time the Lock function is initiated (Figure 5.5).
Figure 6.5
DeviceControl can be shut down without
exiting Lock Mode. However, it will restart
ONLY with the same configuration and
state (Offline or Online) as before exiting.
6.2.4 Password protection
You may use password to unlock DeviceControl when
it is locked in either mode. To enable the password
protection feature, click in the checkbox in the
Password panel on the Locks tab. If no password
has been set, you will be requested to enter one.
Entry of the old (existing) password is required to
change the password.
Be certain that you know the correct current
password before locking DeviceControl with
Password Lock engaged. If you are unable to
unlock Operations lock, for example, you will be
unable to access amplifier operating functions. You
can confirm that you have the correct password by
using the Change Password function and entering
the same password in both the Old Password and
New Password fields.
If you are unable to enter the correct pass-
word for any reason, and you must reset it
in order to resume operations, your only
option is to uninstall and reinstall the De-
viceControl application. All other passwords and
