Clear Marked Items — Unmark (deselect) all parts of the current configuration (excluding presets), including processors and mix-points.

Protected Configuration Live mode only. Allows a user (typically the installer) to save and recall a protected configuration. The protected configuration is useful to establish parameters and values (with the exception of the device

IP address) in a known state, either as a troubleshooting tool or as a baseline configuration. A protected configuration, once saved in the device, is always present and cannot be overwritten without entering a user-defined Personal Identification Number (PIN) password. The protected configuration is restored without a PIN.

NOTE: The default PIN is 0000.

Save — Save the current configuration (excluding presets), including processors and mixes as a password protected configuration. The DSP Configurator program prompts for a PIN to save.
