9.1  Introduction

The following section provides comprehensive information on operation of the NLB 60E, including configuration 
of various network functions. Please read this section thoroughly to become familiar with the NLB 60E’s 
features and functionality. 

9.2  Front-panel details

9.2.1  Navigation and display

Use the six keys to the right of the 2x16 character 
LCD screen to navigate through the menu views of 
the NLB 60E. The views are organized as a tree-
structure. Selecting “OK” when the display shows 
“→Enter” will take you into a new set of selections. 
For an overview of all available displays,  please 
refer to the Appendix section. In brief, to navigate 
the options you will:

 Use  the  SELECT  up/down  arrows  to  scroll 

• 

through available views.

 Press  ENTER/OK  to  access  the  next  menu 

• 

“down” or to confirm a selection.

 Press EXIT/ESC to access the next menu “up” 

• 

in the command tree. (This allows you to escape 
a selection without changing settings.)

 Use the Control ADJUST | SET up/down arrows 

• 

to change parameter values in selected display  
Some commands may need confirmation with 
“OK” or be disregarded with “ESC”.

9.2.2  LEDs left of the display

Three primary status LEDs are located to the left of 
the display.  

FRONT LOCKED

 indicates that the front-panel user 

interface is locked out. This occurs when Device-
Control is connected to the NLB 60E, or when the 
password function has been selected to lock the 
front-panel.

To unlock the front-panel user interface, either shut 
down DeviceControl at the PC or select “Unlock 
display” and enter the four-digit pin-code.

It is also possible to unlock the UI by pres-
sing and holding the ESC+OK buttons until 
you reach the home screen when
powering up the NLB 60E.
