Virtual Operator Panel with XClarity Mobile App via the front USB port with XClarity Controller access
Virtual Operator Panel provides quick access to system status, firmware, network, health, and alerts
information. With proper authentication, it also allows to configure systems management and network
settings and to control system power (Power on, Power off, Restart). The Virtual Operator Panel can be
accessed from the XClarity Mobile App running on the Android or iOS mobile device that is connected to the
front USB port with XClarity Controller access (See
Components and connectors
).
Note: Depending on the system settings, the front USB port can be assigned to XClarity Controller for
management functions, or to the system as a regular USB 2.0 port, or switched between two functions by
using the system ID button.
