      How do I enable Authentication Mode on my BenQ Boards?

      Authentication mode is meant to make your BenQ Board more secure, requiring users to login in order to use the board.

      For EDLA Models, toggling on Authentication Mode will remove Guest Mode. Note that when authentication mode is enabled, it disabled ALL inputs as well as the physical panel buttons (INCLUDING the power button).
