Notes:
1.
Enabling Net Control (N02) restricts local control functionality. Consider configuring a digital
input as ‘Local’ to allow changeover to full local control.
2.
Enabling Net Config (N04) disables setup by local user via console. Consider setting N04 last or
configuring a digital input as ‘Local’ to allow changeover to local setup.
3.
Important settings can be protected by setting N04 to an appropriate network configuration
access level (see table in section 6.1).
