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.

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

with the device. You will need to
contact your service
representative.
