The Connection status turns green after a few seconds to indicate an active USB connection to the
PC (Virtual Master). No Lock icon is displayed because this USB connection is not secured
(requiring a username/password).
If a few minutes have gone by and the System Settings icon still does not turn green, repeat the
USB connection and Virtual Master setup procedures (outlined in this section). Refreshing the
System sends out a request to the panel to respond and completes the communication (turning the
System Connection icon green).
