Press OK or CANCEL to subsequently copy further pages in the same way.
◊ ◊ Only similar pages with identical parameters can be copied. If you
select a SOURCE PAGE that is not available in the DESTINATION CHANNEL,
the display will read NOT AVAILABLE under DESTINATION PAGE.
Fig. 4.17: Setup ➠ Copy
If you set COPY MODE to WHOLE CHANNEL, you can copy the complete channel
settings to another channel. Use SOURCE to select the channel to be copied
(SOURCE-CHANNEL), then defi ne the channel to be overwritten (DESTINATION).
The process is the same as in PAGE mode.
So-called "cross copying" (copying of diff erent channels, for example output 1 to
input A), allows the copying of only those pages that can be transferred 1:1 to
another channel. Any other pages will not be overwritten.
Previously locked pages (see chapter 4.2.4) cannot be overwritten.
A corresponding message is displayed.

4.2.4 PAGE LOCK
In this menu you can lock individual parameter pages, preventing them from
being edited without fi rst entering a password. This is useful for P.A. rental
companies, for example, who want to make sure that certain "harmful" pages
with necessary fi xed settings cannot be accessed by the user.
Fig. 4.19: Setup ➠ Page Lock
In the PAGE LOCK menu you can either lock single pages or all pages. In this case,
you need a password to edit the pages. The parameter PAGE LOCK is set to OFF
by default. As long as it is not ON, you can skip this page and move on to the next.
Fig. 4.20: Setup ➠ Page Lock
To lock a parameter page you must activate the PAGE LOCK function (ON).
The unit will prompt you to enter a password. Use the data wheel to enter a
password with a maximum of 8 characters, and confi rm your selection with OK.
◊ ◊ CAUTION: Please make a note of your password. It is impossible to
unlock parameter pages without the correct password!
Fig. 4.21: Setup ➠ Page Lock
Now, the parameter SELECT PAGES is displayed, enabling you to select all the
pages to be locked. Use the IN/OUT/SUM/SETUP buttons to call up a menu,
the data wheel to select the page of your choice and the OK button to activate
the PAGE LOCK function.
The data wheel also allows you to scroll through a list of all pages, from which
you can select the ones you wish to lock. This is the only way to call up
the ALL PAGES function that lets you lock all pages in one operation.
To unlock all pages at once, select ALL PAGES and press CANCEL. As before,
the selected pages must be confi rmed and locked with OK. Locked pages are
displayed with a closed lock symbol. If a page is unlocked, the lock symbol is
open. Use the CANCEL button to unlock a previously locked page.
◊ ◊ The OK and CANCEL functions cannot be selected in the display with the
cursor. They can only be activated with the corresponding buttons on
the front panel.
Use the CHECK function for an overview of all locked pages. The locked pages
from the list now appearing can be selected with the data wheel. This function is
located at the bottom right of the display and must be selected with the cursor.
When you call up a locked page, you will at fi rst notice no diff erence.
Only when you try to edit a parameter, will the display prompt you to
enter your password. Entering the correct password and confi rming it
with OK will take you back to the page, now ready for editing.
To activate PAGE LOCK again, go to the PAGE LOCK page (4/6) and enter your
password again. Now, all settings are available, i.e. you can activate or deactivate
PAGE LOCK completely by selecting the line "PAGE LOCK: ON" with the cursor and
setting this parameter to ON or OFF with the data wheel.
4.2.5 GLOBAL LOCK
This function allows you to lock all parameter pages if you want to make sure
that nobody can edit your settings while you're away during a break in a live
performance, for example.
Fig. 4.22: Setup ➠ Global Lock
11 ULTRADRIVE PRO DCX2496/ULTRADRIVE DCX2496LE User Manual
On this SETUP page you can activate the GLOBAL LOCK function (ON),
enter a password, then confi rm with OK. Now, if you try to edit any parameter,
the display will prompt you to enter your password. The process follows
the same logic as the PAGE LOCK routine.
Fig. 4.23: Setup ➠ Global Lock
◊ ◊ Activating PAGE LOCK and/or GLOBAL LOCK auto matically locks all STORE
and RECALL pages.
CAUTION: If you have locked individual pages with PAGE LOCK and deactivated
the GLOBAL LOCK function with the correct password, you can not yet make
any changes to the corresponding page. You must fi rst unlock this page in the
PAGE LOCK menu. When using the GLOBAL LOCK feature, we recommend that
you unlock all pages in the PAGE LOCK menu (UNLOCK ALL).
4.2.6 MISCELLANEOUS
Fig. 4.24: Setup ➠ Miscellaneous
On this page, the current version of your DCX2496 operating software is
shown in the top right corner of the display (e.g. VERSION: 1.0). This is just a
message and cannot be selected. Additionally, this menu provides fi ve user
settings. Firstly, you can adapt the CONTRAST of the display to ambient
conditions. Secondly, you can assign a DEVICE ID to your DCX2496, allowing
you to daisy-chain several units via the rear panel RS-485 network interface
(LINK A and B). The fi rst unit is connected to a PC either via one of the LINK
interfaces (RS-485) or via the RS-232 interface.
Note - The DCX2496LE does not have RS-232 or RS-485 connectors.
The PORT parameter provides three diff erent modes for the PC remote control:
1. PC (RS-232)

Use this setting if you want to connect only one DCX2496 to your computer via
the RS-232 interface. It is impossible to daisy-chain several units in this mode.
2. LINK (RS-485)

Please use this mode when several ULTRADRIVE PROs are linked to each other via
the network interfaces LINK A and B and the fi rst unit in the chain is connected
to a computer via the RS-485 interface. The last unit in the chain must have a
termination (TERM switch on rear panel = ON). The RS-232 interface is not used
in this confi guration.
