rëáåÖ=cêçåíJm~åÉä=içÅâçìí
The PDS includes two front-panel lockout modes:
• Full lockout mode, which locks the front panel from all source selections
• Executive mode, which locks all front panel selections except the nine input
buttons (1 through 8 and SDI) and LOGO. In Executive mode, the user can
transition from one input source to another without pressing TAKE.

In the full lockout mode:
• All button pushes and all turns of the rotary knobs will be ignored.
• All Ethernet and serial communications commands will function normally.
• All button lights will continue to reflect the proper state of the inputs.
Use the following steps to fully lock and unlock the front panel:
1. Press and hold the SEL and ESC buttons simultaneously for 3 seconds. Once
this button combination has been detected, the following display appears:
Figure 4-69. System Message: Lockout Enabled
2. To disable the front panel full lockout mode, press and hold the SEL and ESC
buttons simultaneously for 3 seconds. When the button combination is detected,
the system returns to the menu that was displayed before full lockout mode was
enabled.
