Configurable Parameters
As noted, you can only modify a small subset of appliance parameters using the front panel.
All other appliance parameters are modified with VBAdmin. Before you begin, you must
enter a valid PIN to access front panel edit. The PIN (default =
0000
) is a four-digit numeric
string configured in VBAdmin (on the System Configuration > Usernames & Passwords
page). The sequence of navigable screens on the Configuration menu is shown in Table 17.
Changes are applied by pressing
Select
. Note that some parameter changes will automatically
reboot the appliance before the setting is applied.
