4.7 Setting a security password

There are many situations where unrestricted access to corporate file servers or sensitive information needs to be controlled. In such circumstances, the AdderView DVI can be locked away in a room or secure cabinet and controlled remotely. In this mode typing the keyboard hotkeys together with 'L' will blank the screen, disconnect the keyboard and mouse from all of the computers and display ‘P’ on the AdderView DVI display. Control can only be regained by typing the correct password on the keyboard.

To set the password in configure mode, first type ‘P’ then (return). The display on AdderView DVI will change to show ‘=' and you can then type your password. The password is not case sensitive and can be any combination of key strokes, including the function keys, but excluding the (ctrl), (alt), (shift) and (return) keys. When you have typed in your password type (return) to register it in the stored memory. Do not worry if you type the password incorrectly, you can always re-enter configure mode and set the password again. If you have lost the password and the AdderView DVI is locked, the unit may be unlocked by powering down the AdderView DVI, entering configure mode at power on (see section 2.6), and performing a complete reset using the F8 function.

NOTE - The password consists of a combination of key strokes rather like the code to a safe. The key strokes are not case sensitive and can include all the keys on the keyboard (except ctrl, alt, shift and enter). Consequently the following 'password' would be valid:
