Clearing Password #5, from the initial Password Setup page, removes the need for
you to enter the default password before accessing the Protected Setup page.
When using multiple panels within a NetLinx System, remember to assign unique
Device Number values to each panel, so that all assigned panels appear in the
System listing for the target Master.
