Enabling/Disabling the Front Panel
You can enable or disable the display of information on the front panel. This feature
is useful for ensuring that other users do not inadvertently change the device’s
configuration options while you are using an external device (e.g., a PC or async
terminal). The factory default is
Enable
.
NOTE:
If you disable the front panel, be sure not to alter the configuration options for
using an external device (e.g., a PC or async terminal). If this happens, you
lose the ability to communicate with the device. You will need to contact your
service representative.
