• “Switch & Firewall Port Openings”
CHAPTER 2: OVERVIEW
2.2 Front Panels
The front panels are common to Devices of the same Hardware Version. Version 3 Devices contain a set of controls and
indicators to show the status of important operation parameters and allow some control over the device.
2.2.1 Version 3 Front
The Version 3 UCrypt models have an integral control panel allowing some power functions and diagnostics as described in
Table 2.2a. The products are designed to be plug and play and will be in a powered on state when the power cord is plugged
in. There may be instances where it is desired to reboot or power down the devices manually and recessed switches to enable
that are located on the front panel, a closeup view of which is shown in Figure 2-1. See Table 2.2a for functional descriptions
of all front panel controls and indicators.
Table 2.2a: Front Panel Controls and Indicators (See Figure 2-1)
