RE: New Machine, QSECOFR not authorized

["Joe Pluta" <joepluta@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've looked and I see that I have an 8-port connector.  I connect my device
to port 0.  Is my address correct?  I don't know.  The same device is used
to connect to my model 170, and so I figured I'd look at its address.  I
look at the device description for DSP01, and I don't even see an keyword
for address, just port.

So now I'm REALLY confused. I no longer understand ports, or addresses, or
anything. I have no idea if I can hook up my Infowindow or not, and I guess
I have to try the LCS option on OpsNav.

Wish me luck.
