Restriction of User Rights

In case that several users have access to the Setup Manager, it might be necessary to restrict access in order to ensure the failure-free operation of the RM4200D systems in the network. The configuration of user rights in the Setup Manager is realized in a simple but effective way.

The user of the Setup Manager can carry out only those functions, which are activated in the menu User Rights. Only if the user knows the password, he can change the user rights. It does not matter if an administrator or a normal user is working with the Setup Manager; after the start, the restrictions apply for all users.

You can access the configuration menu User Rights (see figure) by selecting the menu command Admin / User Rights, or by clicking on the icon in the icon bar.

Figure 66: The “User Rights”-Window enables the setting of restrictions for the usage of the Setup Manager.

The configuration menu is subdivided in 4 sections:

Modify Device

  • User selected Device: If this option is activated, the user can select the Device with which he wants to connect the Setup Manager directly after the start. Then the DHD Connection Dialogue is opened.

  • Fixed Device: Via this option you can determine, to which Device the Setup Manager shall establish a connection directly after the start. For this, using the Select Device... button, you first have to open the DHD Connection Dialogue and then select the desired Device. This connection persists until it is replaced by a new one. If the option Fixed Device is activated, but the connected Device is not available, the following warning message appears.

Modify Mixer Setups in Device

In this section you can determine for each individual Mixer Setup in an RM4200D (Default Mixer Setup, Mixer Setup Nr 1..6), if it may be overwritten with the Setup Manager or not. Selecting the checkbox allows the overwriting of a setup in the RM4200D with the aid of the Setup Manager.

Please note that the restoring of Mixer Setups from a backup file is not affected by the settings in this section. Protected setups will still be overwritten by Restore Device from File ….

Modify Channel Setups in Device

Here you can determine, which of the 250 Channel Setups may be changed in the RM4200D via the Setup Manager. The entries in the text fields from (Nr.)… and to (incl.) indicate the first and the last Channel Setup that can be overwritten by the Setup Manager. Please enter values between 1 and 250 here.

Backups

The option Restore Device from Backup File activates and deactivates the Restore function. If the checkbox is not selected, you cannot restore to the RM4200D any Mixer Setups and Channel Setups, which were saved in backup files on the PC. (See “Backups” on page 130.)
