Assigning a Panel Lock Button
It may be necessary at times to lock the RCP-ME from access to the front panel. If this function is required, assign
a panel lock button. You can also lock the RCP-ME using the Panel Locked check box on the Configuration tab.
When a panel lock is applied, changes to the RCP-ME can still be made through the Panel Config interface in
DashBoard.
To assign a panel lock button
1. Open the RCP-ME Panel Config interface (see "To open the RCP-ME Panel Config interface" on page 22).
2. On the simulated RCP-ME, select the button that you want to use for the panel lock.
The Button dialog opens.
3. In the Button list, select Function Key.
4. In the Value field, select Panel Lock as the function to assign to this button.
5. Close the Button dialog.
The simulated RCP-ME in DashBoard shows the lock on the selected button.

Locking an RCP-ME

You can use DashBoard to lock a remote control panel against accidental and unwanted changes. The remote
control panel can only be unlocked locally if you have assigned a panel lock or protect button. If these buttons have
not been assigned, then the remote control panel may only be locked/unlocked via DashBoard.
Locking via the Panel Config Interface
Keep the following in mind:
• If a panel lock button is not assigned, the RCP-ME can only be unlocked by clearing the Panel Locked check
box in DashBoard and then sending the configuration file to the device.
• If a protect button is assigned, it can be pressed and held to unlock the RCP-ME.
• If neither of these buttons are assigned, you can lock the RCP-ME if a panel lock or protect button has been
assigned to the RCP-ME.
• The protect button must be held to lock the RCP-ME.
To lock the RCP-ME via the Panel Config interface
1. Open the RCP-ME Panel Config interface (see "To open the RCP-ME Panel Config interface" on page 22).
2. Select the Configuration tab.
