NETWORK
After the Output options the Network Configuration is next in the list.
All of the parameters in the Network list can be edited except for the MAC
address. A MAC address is a
fixed hardware identification that is intended to be
specific
to and different for each networked device. As is the case with most network
gear, the MAC address cannot be changed in the field.

The version dialog displays the currently loaded versions of operating system,
FPGA image, and DSP code, noting that these are displayed values only and cannot
be changed without actually changing the version(s) that the
VP‑8
iP
is running,
i.e., updating it to a new version.

EDIT CHANGE? N
Y OLD:
NEW:
The Access item allows the front panel security features of the
VP‑8
iP
to be
customized. A front panel password may restrict access to the front panel controls and
can be set or changed when necessary to keep curious fingers out of the adjustments.
It is not possible to lock the front panel without first setting a password for it.
Likewise, if the front panel has been locked it cannot be accessed without first
entering the valid password.
