Logging-in as Guest

1

In the function access area, press the

SETUP button to access the SETUP screen.

2

Press the log-in button to open the LOGIN

window.

3

Press the LOGIN button for GUEST to log-

in.

●

Logging-in as a User

To log-in as a User, you will use a user authentication key

saved on a USB storage device. Y ou may also log-in using

a user authentication key created on a different M7CL

console.

1

Connect a USB storage device to the USB

connector.

2

In the function access area, press the

SETUP button to access the SETUP screen.

3

Press the log-in button to open the LOGIN

window.

4

Press the LOAD button for EXTERNAL

USER KEY.

The SAVE/LOAD popup window will appear, and the

ﬁles and directories saved on the USB storage device

will be displayed. User authentication keys have a ﬁle

name of “User name.M7U”.

5

Turn multifunction encoder to select the

user authentication key for the user as

whom you want to log-in.

For details on loading from a USB storage device,

refer to “Loading a ﬁle from a USB storage device”

(

→

p. 219).

6

Press the LOAD button.

If no password has been set, you will simply be

logged-in. If a password has been set, a keyboard win-

dow will appear, allowing you to enter the password.

• If you select a user authentication key that was created on a

different M7CL console, a keyboard window will appear,

allowing you to enter the Administrator password of the M7CL

that you will be using. (If the Administrator passwords are

identical, this window will not appear.) When you enter the

correct Administrator password, another keyboard window

will appear, allowing you to enter the password for the

selected user.

• If you re-save the user authentication key, you will not be

asked for the Administrator password the next time. (
