3.9 QuickPanel
+
OS Utilities Settings Tool
Note DIP switches are set in the OFF position (default) in the factory.
The QuickPanel
+
Operator Interface is equipped with DIP switches to perform control functionality, as follows:
• DIP Switch 1 (SW2 Switch) enables firmware upgrade. Firmware upgrade is allowed only after turning this switch
in the ON position. It is highly recommended to turn the switch position to OFF after firmware upgrade is
completed as a security measurement.
• DIP Switch 2 (SW2 Switch) controls Force Startup. Turning this switch to the ON position forces the
startup applications to run when the operating system is started.
Note The DIP Switch feature is designed as a security measurement. However, security requirements can also be met
using the gesture-based feature.Prior to the listed firmware builds, these operations were only supported using the DIP
Switch
settings.
Some operators find it difficult to use the DIP Switch settings to perform these functions (such as removing the back
plate of the device and adjusting the positions of DIP Switch for each operation). As an alternative to using the DIP
Switch settings, the QuickPanel
+
OS Utilities Settings tool contains finger gesture-based utilities to perform the same
operations. This functionality is available with the firmware builds listed in the following table.

OS Utilities Settings Tool Support
The tool operation buttons for each utility only respond to a double-tap finger gesture. It will not accept any keyboard or
mouse clicks, finger simulator-based inputs, or click inputs from any remote touch-based device. The user can access
the tool from the Start menu by selecting Programs, System, and QuickPanel
+
OS Utilities Settings on the device. The
tool can be used to perform the following operations using the double-tap feature, without adjusting the DIP Switch
positions:
• Firmware Upgrade
• Bypass Startup Programs
• Reset Enhanced Security
• Enable/Disable
SNMP
Agent
Attention
For security, only permit these operations when the operator is physically located
near the QuickPanel
+
and require that users perform a physical action on the device.
