(such as alarms status, permissions list, and so on. See Section 4.6.) The front panel control interface contains all the existing UE-9000 control parameters, while the web-management interface allows easy access to the same parameters from a remote computer. Therefore these two interfaces are intertwined.
ONFIGURATION Whether it's entering new parameters through the front panel or submitting them through the web, many UE-9000 configuration procedures require saving. Encoder Changes can be saved within 60 seconds after the most recent change. During these 60 seconds, the UE control interfaces remind the user to save with a blinking LED (the Warning LED) on the front panel and a shifting background for the Save and Drop buttons in the web-management.
