The
Protect Function
All outputs of the system can be globally protected against modification
to prevent unauthorized operation.
This protection applies to the output parameters, the associated crosspoint, and
the parameters of any input routed to that output. The protect function is implemented
on the NEXUS system itself and is thus independent of the control computers.
Assigning User Rights
Granting and denying user rights: Each user’s access can be restricted
to a freely configurable selection of resources.
User rights can be used to limit the view and operability of the routing system:
The inputs, outputs, and processing channels are either accessible or blocked
for each user. Global system settings such as the full-scale level or the sample
rate can also be blocked.
Three access modes are available: With full access, he parameters
of the assigned sources and targets can be used and modified. With read-only
access, only the sources can be routed; parameters cannot be edited.
No access means that the user rights are blocking any access to
resources. In this case, inputs, outputs, and processing channels are not even
displayed to the user.
User rights can be configured both via the network and locally on control computers.
NEXUS on a Computer Network
Sharing the NEXUS: The NEXUS control software can be configured for
network use. In this case, any of a number of networked Windows PCs can be used to
access the NEXUS via one or more communication servers. Extra
access limits can be configured using the privi-leges provided by the operating
system.
