Automatic detection of a loss of communication with the Via Serie controller.
Possibility of choosing between viewing the Via Serie controller, Converter, Fonomac II or Fonomac 3 for
P71 Console version or higher. If your version is not the right one, check with MP.

Possibility of setting a start-up configuration of the console that will be loaded on starting it. In this start-up
configuration, the language and the communication port will be set by default.
Full management of the keypad, including multi-function keys.
Allows powering from the controller or Fonomac 3 (when powered by the XFN2 connector).
Fonomac 3 will be programmed by using the console’s CAN-BUS communication connector. This differs from the
system used for Fonomac II (serial port).

used.
