Page 21: Enabling Front Panel Lockout (Executive Mode)
Enabling Front Panel Lockout (Executive Mode) Front panel lock mode (executive mode) disables all front panel controls. Putting the switcher in this mode enhances security by protecting against inappropriate or accidental changes to settings. When the switcher is in lock mode, RS-232 and IR control remain available. - 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.
