Re: Telular Telguard TG-1 & TG-4 Service Pricing

I think this is where there might be some confusion with terminology
(or not). Simply changing the installer code is not locking the panel
in any way, and is something that all companies do and that few would
argue is not necessary. But actually locking the panel with the
software lock is what is really meant when someone talks about locking
the board (certainly me....).

I think that some might be misinterpreting changing the installer code
with truly locking the board in some of the past discussions about
locking boards......
