Use the Disable controller
polling when you need to put the controller in disable mode. In
disable mode, the controller is never polled and all status requests from this
specific controller send a message that this controller is disabled.
Note: This option can be used when a controller is removed temporarily but must not be deleted. For example, if the controller is under repair. It also allows operators to easily set up the software before the physical installation is completed.

- Select between On demand and Always on for the Status LED (for KT-1 or KT-2 only). For more information, refer to the KT-1 Installation Guide or to the KT-2 Installation Guide.
- Select a Graphic and Video view to which the gateway is assigned, if applicable. The video view is activated only if the video feature is enabled in EntraPass.
