SDI AoIP Node front panel features include:

- **Four status LEDs** indicating the status of each power supply (1A, 1B), the **overall status** of the unit (1C), and **sync** for the reference clock (1D)
- A **color LCD display** to show status and basic configuration parameters (1E)
- A **five-button navigation cluster** with Left, Right, Up, and Down arrows plus a green “OK” button (1F)

The front panel is used for the initial setup and configuration including setting the IP address of the Ethernet ports. Additional configuration is accomplished via the remote user interface.
