Security; Network Properties - Ashly nX1504 Operating Manual

Operating Manual - nX, nXe, and nXp 150W/75W Power Amplifiers
9.4b Security Tab
Ashly nXe and nXp amplifiers have multi-user/multi-level
security capability. When security levels are defined, a per-
son must have a user name, password, and sufficient access
level to make changes. Seven different users are supported;
default user, admin user, and five additional custom named
users. All security information is stored in the amplifier, not
in presets. Passwords are case sensitive.
The security tab has three sections; The [Current User] sec-
tion that shows the currently logged in user and their access
level; the [Log-In] section where a person logs in as default,
admin, or custom user name; and the [Device Users] section
where new user names and passwords are entered and where
access levels are assigned for each user name.
Default
- The default user is the base level of access, cannot
be renamed, and never requires a password. The factory setting
for the default user is to allow full access. Anyone can log in as
the default user, so its user access level should be set low, typi-
cally view only, once security settings have been implemented.
To log in as default user, click the [Default] checkbox in the log-in section and then click the log-in button.
Admin
- The Admin user is for the highest administrative person, cannot be renamed, and always has full access. Any changes
to the admin password are made in the device users section and must be saved by clicking on the [Save Changes] button. To
log in as admin in the log-in section, click the [Admin] checkbox, enter the password if one is assigned, and click the log-in
button. Only the admin, or anyone else with full access, has the right to show passwords, save changes, reset changes, or edit
user names, passwords, and access levels. A factory reset will erase all user names and passwords in the amplifier.
Other User Names
- Up to five custom user names can be entered in the device users section along with passwords and ac-
cess levels.
Access Levels -
On amplifiers without DSP, access levels
are view only, audio only, IP only, and full access. On models
with DSP, additional access levels include audio parameter
access, preset recall access, DSP input channel access, and
DSP output channel access.
9.4c Network Properties Tab
In this tab, device information includes device type, MAC
address, and network connect status. Device network con-
figuration can be set to automatic DHCP (recommended) or
manual static IP. Advanced network configuration allows the
user to bypass corporate firewalls and assign a specific port
for remote setup and monitoring.
The user can visually identify the amplifier on a network
by clicking the <Identify Device> button, which lights the
COM LED on the amplifier's front panel for two seconds.
The amplifier's firmware revision is shown in the hardware
configuration section as well. From time to time Ashly
may post updated firmware on our website which can be
downloaded and then flash reprogrammed to the amplifier.
Flash reprogram is found in the device options menu when
connected to a live amplifier.
