Security; Network Properties - Ashly 3.04 Operating Manual

Operating Manual - nX, nXe, and nXp Power Amplifiers
9.4b Security Tab
Ashly nXe and nXp amplifiers have multi-user/multi-
level security capability. When security levels are defined,
a person must have a User Name, Password, and sufficient
access level to make changes. Seven different users are sup-
ported; a Default user, an 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]
section 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 it's user access level should be
set low, typically 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] but-
ton. 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
and access levels.
Access Levels -
On amplifiers without DSP, access
levels are View Only, Audio Only, IP Only, and Full Access.
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
configuration 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.
