	3.7 Local Configuration Set-Up Procedure
	Before starting any configuration action:
	∙ Review the relevant configuration parameters given in Section 3-4 and 3-5.
	∙ Obtain a list of the required parameters from your system administrator.
	ASMi-450 configuration consists of the selection of the system parameters.
	When a control terminal will be used to control the ASMi-450, you should also
	select the parameters of the control port.
	The general configuration procedure is explained on the following page. The
	general procedure is followed by special considerations for each group of
	parameters.
	The ASMi-450 presents only those parameters available in the selected mode,
	therefore it is important to perform the configuration according to the order
	specified above.
Password	The ASMi-450 is intended for configuration via the control port, using an ASCII
Protection	terminal. If you cannot use a terminal for performing the configuration
	procedures, it is necessary to configure the ASMi-450 from the front panel.
	This, however, is possible only when the use of the password is disabled: if the
	password is enabled, you can use the ASMi-450 front panel to display the
	current parameter values, but cannot modify them. If you try to modify a
	parameter, or to perform a test function, from the front panel when the password
	is enabled, you will see CONFIG ERROR 5.
	When the ASMi-450 uses the default parameters values, the use of the password
	is disabled (to load the default parameters, use the DB INI section of the internal
	switch S1, as explained in Section 2-4). The use of the password can be enabled
	or disabled by means of the control terminal, by entering the DEF SP command
	(refer to Chapter 4 for detailed instructions).
General	The following steps are used to perform any configuration activity:
