Access Levels And Protected Mode

Front panel access can be limited by placing the DL3800E unit in the
Protected Mode. In this mode, you can use the Front Panel User Interface
only to monitor the status of the unit and its Error Counters, and view its
configuration. The following operations cannot be performed through the
Front Panel User Interface when the unit is in Protect Mode:

• Clearing the Error Counters.

• Changing the unit configuration.

• Starting or terminating diagnostic tests.

The unit can be put into and out of Protected Mode through the Terminal
User Interface, but not from the Front Panel User Interface. To place the
unit in protect mode, toggle the Front Panel field to Off, in the UNIT
CONFIGURATION MENU. Refer to

“Unit Configuration” on page 4-17

.

When a user needs to take a unit out of Protected Mode but a terminal is
not available, the following procedure can be used:

1. Turn off the power to the unit.

2. Press EXIT and the DOWN ARROW buttons at the same time.

3. Turn the power to the unit back on.
