7.19  Port Access Control Enable/Disable

This option is discussed in detail in the “Access Control” section of this manual.
Option 3 of the Features Menu displays the Access Control screen.  Through this screen, you can designate whether the 

access control system is on or off (i.e., in effect or disabled) for various control ports.  

Note:  

The Access Control option only appears in the Features Menu when you are logged in as 

the administrator. This is true regardless of whether access control has been enabled for local 

control.
