Password Protection
There are two levels of password protection,
User and Administrator.
User Level
User level provides access to the front panel
controls and the fader controls in the DX-810-PC
application.The MODE button on the front panel is
used to disable the front panel controls by selecting
LOCK. The LOCK LED blinks for about five seconds
before it engages. When the LED lights steadily, the
front panel controls are disabled.
To unlock the DX810 from the front panel, press
the bottom “Down” buttons on the front panel in
the correct numerical sequence. Use the following
chart:
Input 1 Down = 1
Input 2 Down = 2
Input 3 Down = 3
Input 4 Down = 4
Input 5 Down = 5
Input 6 Down = 6
Input 7 Down = 7
Input 8 Down = 8
Low EQ Down = 9
Hi EQ Down = 0
Note: The default User Lock Code is “1234.”
The buttons must be pressed in rather rapid
sequence in order to unlock the front panel (no
more than about 1 second between key presses).
Administrator Level
Administrator Level provides access to all of the
DX-810-PC software application functions. When
you click the On Line button in the application to
begin communication between the application and
the DX810, the Enter Pass Code window opens.
Entering the four-digit User Pass Code limits you to
fader control only. Entering the four-digit
Administrator Pass Code (previously defined in the
Set Lock Code window under the Advanced menu)
allows you full access to the software controls.
Note: The default administrator code is “1234.”
