System parameters

There are eight system-level parameters (see Figure 2.6, previous page) with which an AP800 can be programmed: select preset, lock panel, set passcode, device ID, unit ID number, mixer mode, gate parameters, and RS-232. For default settings, see the programming worksheet (page 59). Bolded items are the factory defaults.

Select Preset

The Select Preset menu item allows one of six presets to be selected for AP800 use. These preset configurations can be easily loaded via the LCD display or by serial commands to the RS-232 port. For example, the AP800 can be set up for different room microphone configurations (e.g. Preset 1 for a two-mic presentation, Preset 2 for an eight-mic conference, Preset 3 for a three-mic priority panel discussion with 20 mics for audience questions, etc.).

To select a preset, scroll through the numbered presets until the desired preset is visible, then press Enter. The preset will immediately be loaded into AP800 memory for active use.

Lock Panel

The front panel can be locked to prevent unauthorized adjustments to the AP800. Menu items can still be viewed when the panel is locked, but settings cannot be altered or entered until the panel is unlocked by entering the appropriate passcode.

To lock the front panel

1.Press the System button.

2.Scroll through the menu items to select Lock Panel, and press Enter.

3.Select On, and press Enter again.

To unlock the front panel

1.Attempt to adjust a parameter. The AP800 prompts you for the passcode.

2.Begin entering the passcode. Once you have correctly entered the fifth character, the front panel unlocks. (The default passcode for all units is ▲▲▼▼ Enter.)

Set Passcode

Once the AP800 is unlocked, the passcode can be changed. Before the AP800 will allow passcode changes, the new passcode must be entered, then re-entered for validation.

Refer to the AP-Ware help file for complete

information about

establishing presets.

If you enter a passcode and unlock the system, you must lock it again after

making any changes. Otherwise the panel will remain unlocked and accessible to anyone.
