This number is the assigned by the console and indicates the slot
in which the RS-232 module is installed. It could be 1, 2, or 3.
However, for the RS-232 port of a Multiport module, which is installed
in slot 4, this number would be 6.
If no RS-232 Security Code has been entered, you will see disabled.
If a code has been entered, e.g., 000016, that 6-digit number would
appear here. If a code appears, you will need to enter this code with
