Front Panel LCD Display and Keypads

With the SLC unit powered up, you can use the front panel display and buttons to set up the basic parameters.

Figure 4-2 Front Panel LCD Display and Five Button Keypad (Enter, Up, Down, Left, Right)

The front panel display initially shows the hostname (abbreviated to 14 letters) and the date and time.

When you click the right-arrow button, the SLC network settings displays. Using the five buttons on the keypad, you can change the network, console port, and date/time settings and view the firmware release version. If desired, you can restore the factory defaults.

Note: Have your information handy as the display times out without accepting any unsaved changes if you take more than 30 seconds between entries.

Any changes made to the network, console port, and date/time settings take effect immediately.

Navigating

The front panel keypad has one Enter button (in the center) and four arrow buttons (up, left, right, and down). Press the arrow buttons to navigate from one option to another, or to increment or decrement a numerical entry of the selected option. Use the Enter button to select an option to change or to save your settings.
