Locking the PM5D (Security functions) The PM5D lets you prohibit changes to certain parameters (Parameter Lock), disabling file loading (Load Lock), or prohibit operation of the console (Console Lock). For example, this lets you prevent an unauthorized person from operating the console while the engineer is taking a break. You can also apply password protection to the lock function using a "system password" which is remembered even after power-off, or a "console password" which is cleared when the power is turned off. You will be able to use Parameter Lock, Load Lock, and Console Lock if you've specified a system password; you will only be able to use Console Lock if you've specified a console password. Setting the System Password or Console Password Here's how to set the password used for Parameter Lock and Console Lock. However, it is possible to apply the lock function even if a password has not been specified. 1 In the DISPLAY ACCESS section, repeatedly press the [UTILITY] key to access the SECURITY screen. CONSOLE PASSWORD area SECURITY SYSTEM PASSWORD area In this screen you can use the SYSTEM PASSWORD and CONSOLE PASSWORD fields located at the left to specify the passwords. (If no password has been specified, the corresponding box will indicate "--FREE--".) 2 To set the system password, click the button for the SYSTEM PASSWORD field. To set the console password, click the button for the CONSOLE PASSWORD field. A window will appear, and you will be asked to input the new password. (The upper left of the window indicates "NEW PASSWORD.") As an example, the illustration below shows the SYSTEM PASSWORD CHANGE window where you specify the system password. Note • If a password has already been input, you will be requested to input the old password. (The upper left of the window indicates "OLD PASSWORD".) In this case, input the existing password and click the OK button before you continue to step 3. • If you want to return the system to a condition in which a password has not been specified, input the existing password, click the OK button, and then leave the new password field blank when you execute steps 3-5. 3 Use the character palette to input a password of up to eight characters in the NEW PASSWORD text box. The characters you input are displayed as " * " (asterisks). Any character of the character palette except for SPACE can be used in a password. (The password is case-sensitive; i.e., uppercase and lowercase alphabetical characters are distinguished.) When inputting a password, the COPY, PASTE, SPACE, INS, ←, and → keys of the character palette cannot be used. 4 Click the OK button. The indication in the upper left of the window will change to "RE-ENTER PASSWORD". 5 Input the same password once again, and click the OK button. The password will be applied, and you will return to the SECURITY screen. Note The console password will be cleared when the PM5D is powered-off. In contrast, the system password is remembered even after the power is turned off. This means that if you forget the system password, you will be unable to defeat Parameter Lock or Console Lock except by initializing the entire memory of the PM5D (➥ p.160). Please be careful not to lose the system password. Other functions 19 PM5D/PM5D-RH V2 / DSP5D Owner's Manual Operating section 151
