Security and Passcode Programming

[Skip this step if you do not plan to use PC Remote software or do not plan to lock
out the front panel locally.]
The 5500 has several levels of security to prevent unauthorized people from chang-
ing its programming or operating state. Security controls access to the front panel
and to anyone connecting to the 5500 through a direct serial connection, dial-up
networking (through modems), or its Ethernet port.
The security levels are:
1. All Access (i.e., administrator level)
2. All Access except Security
3. All Access except Modify and Security
4. Recall, Modify and Automation
5. Recall Presets and Program Automation
6. Recall Presets
There is no default passcode. The Optimod's front panel cannot be locked out unless
the Optimod has been assigned at least one All Access passcode.
The Optimod secures User Presets by encrypting them (using the Advanced Encryp-
tion Standard algorithm with the session passcode as its key) when PC Remote
fetches them. Hence, a packet sniffer cannot intercept User Presets in plaintext form.
PC Remote then writes the fetched User Presets in encrypted form on your hard
drive, where they remain for the duration of your PC Remote session.
If PC Remote exits normally, it will erase these temporary User Preset files
from your computer's hard disk. If it does not exit normally, these files
will remain in encrypted form. However, the next time that PC Remote
starts up, it will automatically clean up any orphaned files.

To Create a Passcode:

A) Navigate to Setup > S
If the front panel is already password protected, you can only access this
screen by entering a passcode with All Access privileges.
B) Use the four soft buttons, labeled"1," "2," "3," and "4," to create a passcode.
Passcodes can be up to eight characters long but can only contain the
characters "1," "2," "3," and "4." This limitation makes it easy to enter a
passcode using the four available soft buttons.
