SECURITY CODE LOCKS
The system menu contains the security code lock options from where they can be enabled or disabled.
The DSPX-FM has two code locks, the main full lock and the output lock. When enabled the full code lock
prevents editing of the DSPX-FM parameters. When enabled the output lock restricts access to the output
menu section of theDSPX-FM. This is useful when you want to stop someone from being able to adjust peak
output levels which could cause your broadcast to be non-compliant with your regulatory bodies transmission
specs. For example you may not want a programme director to be able to adjust the multiplex level into a trans-
mitter but you do want them to be able to adjust the processing.
The security code locks if enabled will engage after 4 minutes of no activity on the front panel control system.
This time has been chosen as a compromise between having the system lock you out when adjusting process-
ing parameters and a short enough period of time to lock the unit after you walk away from the DSPX-FM.
The DSPX-FM is factory shipped with the factory default lock codes of 3779. Some users may find that the out-
put lock is set to a default of ‘0000’ so try this if you cant access the output menus with 3779.
Enabling the security code lock feature: Navigate to the system menu and set the code lock option to ena-
bled. Confirm the current password. The lock will engage after four minutes of no front panel control system
activity.
Disabling the security code lock feature: Navigate to the system menu and set the code lock option to ‘disa-
bled’. Confirm the current password.
Changing the lock codes: Once locked the DSPX-FM will not allow processing adjustments (or access to the
output menu). The lock code can be entered with the use of the rotary encoder and the GO soft key can be
pressed to confirm entry and proceed. If unsuccessful you will be required to try again. If successful the DSPX-
FM will allow you to re-confirm the code or change it. This is where you may want to change the factory default
code if you have not already done so. The soft keys will allow you to confirm the change or accept the previous
code and the DSPX-FM should then be unlocked.
Forgotten DSPX-FM lock code:
Contact DSPX-FM support and request the procedure to reset the DSPX-FM lock code back to factory default.
In resetting the DSPX-FM code lock you will also wipe clean your user presets. We recommend that you export
(back-up) your user presets to be on the safe side.
The easiest thing is not to forget the unlock code or to leave it at factory default. The factory default code is easy
to remember, just punch in the first four letters of your favourite audio processor on a telephone keypad.
