The Protect Function

Protection against misuse: All outputs of the system can be globally protected against modification to prevent unauthorized operation from other control computers.
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 and is thus provided separately from 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 for limiting the view and operation 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, the parameters of the assigned sources and targets can be used and modified. With read-only access, only the sources can be routed; parameter editing is blocked. No access means that the user rights prevent any attempt to access the resources. In this case, inputs, outputs, and processing channels are not even displayed to the user.
User rights can be configured both over the network and on local control computers.

 

The NEXUS on a Computer Network

Sharing NEXUS: The NEXUS control software can also be configured for network use. In this case, any of a number of networked Windows PCs can be used to access NEXUS via one or more communication servers. Network access restrictions can also be configured to restrict usage to specific user groups.
