Using Password Protection 83 Using Password Protection The Protection function is for use mainly in Run mode, when DME Designer is used to control the DME32, and can be used to restrict component parameter editing or to prevent any operation whatsoever. Three levels of protection are available: full access, limited access, and no access. Note that this protection function has nothing to do with the DME32's front panel Protect function. Passwords can be assigned to the Off and Component modes, preventing unauthorized mode changes. Operation mode does not have its own password, although you'd need to know either the Off or Component password in order to switch from Operation mode. Passwords can be up to 16 characters long. The current protection setting is shown in the protection section of the status bar. See "Status bar" on page 25 for more information. The three protection modes are explained below. Off-This mode offers full access to all functions. If the Off password has been set, it must be entered in order to switch to Off mode from either Component or Operation mode. Component-This mode offers limited access. Components whose Protect option is checked (see page 80) cannot be edited. Other components can be edited and scenes can be stored or recalled as normal. If the Component password has been set, it must be entered in order to switch to Component mode from either Off or Operation mode. Operation-This mode offers no access. Component parameters cannot be edited, scenes cannot be stored or recalled, and configurations cannot be recalled. If the Off or Component password has been set, the correct password must be entered in order to switch from Operation mode to that mode. The following table shows exactly what can and cannot be done in each mode.
