The controller will automatically re-lock after a period of inactivity.
Mixed-case keywords e.g. key PAssPhRaSe are CASE-SENSITIVE !

POWER SAVING

Under battery operation, keep the unit connected to a trickle charger whenever not being used.
The controller is aware of 'low' operating voltage and 'crash-stop' voltage states (less than required
to keep the modem and/or battery viable
If either voltage threshold is reached for more than ~30 seconds, a text notification will be sent to all
ADMIN CLI users.

The battery powered units have an internal Sealed Lead-Acid (SLA) battery, which must be kept above 11
volts to retain the performance of the battery over its life.
