For the unit to be controlled via over-air control (OAC), the control mode
of the IRD needs to be set to Director NCP.

OAC Lockout

Once the unit is in OAC control mode, it is possible for the remote control
operator to issue a local lockout command to the Receiver. This will
effectively deny the local user access to configuring the unit.
However, if a situation occurs whereby the local user needs to regain
control over the unit, without a local lockout relinquish command being
sent from the OAC control PC, a four digit Personal Identification Number
(PIN) may be entered through the keypad.
CAUTION…
TANDBERG Television Customer Services Help Desk will not be able to provide you with the Local
lockout PIN, as it is uniquely created at the time of the lockout.
The user creates the PIN at lockout time. To obtain the PIN, please consult
the person responsible for the administration of the unit.
