Chapter 4 • Using the Front Panel Controller
Security Menu (8)
The Security Menu can place certain restrictions on the use of the Matrix 200.
The Executive Mode feature, when set to “ON”, will only allow the front panel
buttons to be used for viewing the Matrix 200 configuration, although ties can be
changed. If it is set to “OFF”, the front panel buttons can be used to change the
configuration of the Matrix 200.
The Security Lockout feature allows the Matrix 200 to be locked, protecting all
presets, sequences and programs from being changed. The Lockout feature
affects access both from the front panel controller (FPC), as well as from the RS-
232/RS-422 interface. (If the code is not known, see page 2-5 to permit access.)
To display the security menu, press Menu, followed by the numeric “8” key.
1. To set or change the security code, display the “Sec:Lock-Out Now” menu and
use the Up/Down keys to display the Set
Code menu (shown here).
(Press Escape at any time to exit this
menu.)
2. Use the cursor keys to step through the four digits and enter the current (....)
security code. Use the numeric keypad or the Up/Down cursor keys.
3. Press Enter. The menu changes, replacing the word “current” with “new”. Use
the numeric keypad or the Up/Down keys to enter the new security code.
4. Press Enter to store the new code.
To lock the FPC, display the “Sec:Lock-Out Now” menu and press Enter. If a
security code has not been set, the message “code not set” will display. If a
code has been set, the “Security Lockout” message will display.
_______ Once the Matrix is in this mode, any attempt to access the FPC will show only
this message. Access to the Matrix 200 is not allowed, either from the FPC or
from the RS-232/RS-422 interface.
To Unlock the FPC, use the cursor keys to step to the code positions (****) and
enter each digit from the numeric keypad. Press Enter to unlock the FPC and
display the “Sec:Lock-Out Now” menu. Once the Matrix is unlocked, it remains
unlocked until it is locked again, either by the FPC (Menu 8) or by the Host
system, through the RS-232/RS-422 interface.
