can be password protected from the Control Master only. Once protected,
the front‑panel interface on all modules is locked, preventing changes to

a channel button will display its Slot assignment in the A‑Net Slot display.
Pressing the VDC inc/dec buttons will cycle through the fourteen VDC Slots,
