3.9 QuickPanel + OS Utilities Settings Tool
DIP switches are set in the
OFF position (default) in the
factory. The QuickPanel
+
Operator Interface is equipped with DIP switches to perform control
functionality, as follows:
•
DIP Switch 1 (SW2 Switch)
enables firmware upgrade. Firmware upgrade is
allowed only after turning this switch in the ON position. It is highly recommended
to turn the switch position to OFF after firmware upgrade is completed as a security
measurement.
• DIP Switch 2 (SW2 Switch) controls Force Startup. Turning this switch to the ON
position forces the startup applications to run when the operating system is started.
The DIP Switch feature is
designed as a security
measurement. However,
security requirements can also
be met using the gesture-based
feature.
Prior to the listed firmware
builds, these operations were
only supported using the DIP
Switch settings. Some operators find it difficult to use the DIP Switch settings to perform these functions
(such as removing the back plate of the device and adjusting the positions of DIP Switch
for each operation). As an alternative to using the DIP Switch settings, the QuickPanel
+
OS Utilities Settings tool contains finger gesture-based utilities to perform the same
operations. This functionality is available with the firmware builds listed in the following
table.

The tool operation buttons for each utility only respond to a double-tap finger gesture. It
will not accept any keyboard or mouse clicks, finger simulator-based inputs, or click
inputs from any remote touch-based device. The user can access the tool from the
Start
menu by selecting
Programs
,
System
, and
QuickPanel + OS Utilities Settings
on
the device. The tool can be used to perform the following operations using the double-tap
feature, without adjusting the DIP Switch positions:
• Firmware Upgrade
• Bypass Startup Programs
• Reset Enhanced Security
• Enable/Disable SNMP Agent
Attention
For security, only permit these operations when the
operator is physically located near the QuickPanel
+
and require that users perform a physical action on
the device.
