Page 21: Locking And Unlocking The Front Panel (Executive Mode)
Locking and Unlocking the Front Panel (Executive Mode) Front panel lock mode disables all front panel controls, locking out users from those functions (RS-232, USB, and IR control remain available). Putting the switcher in lock mode enhances security by protecting against inappropriate or accidental changes to settings. If a front panel button is pressed during lock mode, all front panel LEDs blink once. - Page 22 User-assigned EDID mode In this mode, you can select an EDID file that is stored on the switcher at the factory. The selected EDID is stored at the inputs and is not overwritten; the switcher does not automatically obtain EDID information from the display. You may want to use this mode if there is a problem with automatic communication of the EDID information from the attached display, and you want to ensure that the correct information is stored on the inputs.
