When the XR unit is locked the video is switched off and the keyboard and mouse are disconnected from the computer. Locking the XR unit does not affect the operation of the XL unit.

To unlock the AdderLink XR unit enter the password followed by the RETURN key eg:

[P] [A] [S] [S] [W] [O] [R] [D] [Enter]

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:

[F4] [F] [R] [E] [D] [Home]

To set the password, enter configuration mode by typing ‘HOTKEYS’ and RETURN on the keyboard attached to the XR unit (see section 3.6). When in configure mode type ‘P’ then RETURN. Now enter the password which may be up to 40 characters. 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.

For example, to enter OPENUP as the password type the following whilst in configuration mode:

[P] [Enter] [O] [P] [E] [N] [U] [P] [Enter]
