panel or the COM port. The E1 NTU allows only one user
interface to be active at a time. The front panel is the
default user interface at power-up or after a reset. It is also
the default during a software download or when a failure
occurs at either the local or remote PC interface.

You can switch an inactive user interface to active if,

The current active user interface has had no activity
(no key was pressed) for at least five minutes,

The active user interface has been released with the
Release command.

you are using the PC interface, use the mouse to click on
the desired Function key.

interface, regardless of what screen was displayed at the
