PRODUCT SETUP
A command or setting write operation is required to update the state of the remote and local security operands
listed.
When a setting password or command password is set or updated, user access with a graphical front panel is
removed. Simply log in again on the graphical front panel.
When the setting password is set or updated, the graphical front panel Access Level displays as Command. This is
because the graphical front panel is a Modbus client and it does not have automatic access to the password
change.
