This feature is enabled or disabled using the new ENCONFIG.ini file.

An SCB’s NetConfig Relay Agent can now be disabled, which can be useful
if an external Ethernet router is used for connectivity between the Facility
and Panel/Matrix LANs. This option is set in the common INI options file
(ENCONFIG.ini) of the SCB. To change the setting, add or edit a
NoNCRely=Enable text entry to the file to disable the relay agent.

System Controller LEDs
The System Controller module has LEDs, testpoints, and switches along its
front edge which is visible when the frame door is open. The LEDs indicate
the operating condition of the module and any mezzanines on that module.
Testpoints are used to check voltages and ground. Switches are used to
reset the module. Testpoint and switch markings are self-explanatory.
