Remote Configuration
Remote Configuration
The 8925EMB-B and 8925EMB-U configuration and monitoring must be
performed using a web browser GUI interface or a networked Newton
Control Panel with an 8900NET Network Interface module with software
version 4.3.0 or later present in the GeckoFlex frame (8900FFN). Each of
these interfaces is described below. A summary table of all module param-
eters including defaults, ranges, and Newton Control panel controls is
given in
Table 13 on page 61 .
8900NET Module Information
Refer to the 8900NET Network Interface Module Instruction Manual (software
version 4.3.0) for information on the 8900NET Network Interface Module
and setting up and operating the GeckoFlex 8900 frame network. This
manual, along with the latest 8900NET Release Notes can be found at the

Newton Control Panel Configuration
A Newton Control Panel (hard or soft version) can be interfaced to the
GeckoFlex frame over the local network. Refer to the documentation that
accompanies the Newton Modular Control System for installation, config-
uration, and operation information.
Control panel access offers the following considerations for module config-
uration and monitoring:
• Ability to separate system level tasks from operation ones, minimizing
the potential for on-air mistakes.
• Ability to group modular products—regardless of their physical loca-
tions—into logical groups (channels) that you can easily manipulate
with user-configured knobs.
• Recommended for real-time control of module configuration parame-
ters, providing the fastest response time.
Note Not all module functions are available with the control panel, such as factory
default recalls.
