NOTE: Software options (such as Inclined Orbit Tracking, Integrated DVB Receiver, etc.) may introduce
additional configuration screens that will be described in the option's documentation.

3.3.1.1 NORMAL ACCESS ITEMS

The three configuration groups contained in the “Normal” access items allow the user to change items
that would typically be required to be changed following system configuration.

3.3.1.1.1 Expert Access Permission

EXPERT ACCESS: 0 CONFIG-EXPERT

0-NORMAL/1-INSTALL/2-SUPER<5 DIGIT CODE>

Expert Access Permission is used to control access to installation specific items. When the
expert_mode_active_flag is set to SUPER-USER level(2), the user has access to all controller modes
and all CONFIG mode items. When the expert_mode_active_flag is set to INSTALL level (1), the user
has access to all controller modes and the most typically used CONFIG mode items. When the
expert_mode_active_flag is set to NORMAL level(0), the user is locked out of several modes and most
CONFIG mode items. The purpose of this feature is to keep an operator away from the modes and
CONFIG mode items which can change the contents of the controller's non-volatile memory.

When the Expert Access screen is displayed, the present state of the expert_mode_active_flag is
displayed in the data entry field. A display value of 2 indicates that the expert_mode_active_flag is set to
SUPER-USER level, a value of 1 indicates that the flag is set to INSTALL level and a value of 0 indicates
that the flag is set to NORMAL level. To toggle the state of the flag, the user must key in a 5 digit code at
the prompt followed by the ENTER key. This code is found in Chapter 5 "Expert Access Codes" at the
end of this manual. If the information is lost, call the factory for assistance.
