Potter AFC Series — official product documentation

Field notes
- Record the exact displayed message, firmware revision, SLC/P-Link topology, and affected addresses before recommending replacement.
- Distinguish PAD/SLC device communication from P-Link peripheral communications and network/voice faults.
- Consult model-specific Potter documents for testing, releasing, smoke control, and approved component compatibility.
Use the exact generation. Similar model names can have different hardware, firmware, menus, programming tools, device support, and service procedures.
