system resources, connections, and port

settings. Require system pin for access; the
default is 76642.
Use the Up and Down buttons to select the menu you wish to

Configure
The Configure Menu allows you to configure specific aspects of
the appliance. Once selected, the LCD displays a PIN request.
All numbers are entered using the D‐pad buttons. Select the
individual digit field using the Left and Right buttons, and
select the desired number using the Up and Down buttons.
Press the Right button to confirm your PIN and enter the
Configuration Menu.
You can navigate in and out of the Configuration Menu without
having to re‐enter the PIN. Once the appliance enters Screen‐
Saver Mode after the timeout period of six seconds, or
because you pressed the Left button from the Main Menu, you
must re‐enter the PIN to access the Configuration Menu.
After entering a new value for a setting in the configuration
menu, you are asked if you want to commit changes. Using the
D‐pad, press the Right button for yes or the Left button for no.
