Front Panel Lock-Out
In applications where unintended or unauthorized changes to the fad-
ers or buttons must be prevented, a key switch can be connected to the two
pins on the Euroblock connector near the FR-8/16’s back panel Ethernet port.
When these two pins are left unconnected, the front panel operates normally.
When these pins are electrically connected, any physical changes on the front
panel are locked out and ignored by the software. Note: Before unlocking
the front panel, it is suggested that all faders fi rst be placed fully down or at
predetermined marked levels to avoid excess volume.
Factory Reset
If it is necessary to restore the FR-8/16’s default settings, follow these steps:
1. Remove power from the FR-8/16.
2. Press and hold down buttons 5, 6, 7, 8 on the FR-8, or 9, 10, 11, 12 on the FR-16.
3. Apply power to the FR-8/16.
4. Release the held buttons after all the buttons glow amber.
Security
In addition to the hardware lockout available on the FR-8/16, there are multiple user/multiple
levels of software protection assignable to the FR-8/16 within the Security tab. The security data is
stored within the FR-8/16 itself, not Protea NE Software. Passwords are case sensitive. Be sure to
write down the password and store in a convenient place for future reference.
