You can display the Panel Identification fill‑in at any time after the panel is identified by entering the IDENTIFICATION command or pressing the equivalent PF key. Some fields are not displayed until after the initial identification of the panel. You can modify the Panel Identification fill‑in at any time as long as the panel definition remains in test status.

The following fields display on the Panel Identification fill‑in:

Panel name
