Release
Some control panels can lock or protect both sources and destinations. However, The NV9641A
provides locks and protects for destinations only.
A forced release is when the lock or protect is removed by someone other than the owner. A
forced release can be performed:
•
At any panel configured with release mode set to "forced release".
•
At any other panel with "force release" enabled.
The 'Destination Lock' and 'Destination Protect' buttons are toggles. Press the lock (or protect)
button to lock (or protect) a destination. Press the button again to release the lock (or protect).
