3. IED user interface
3.1. Panel structure
The user interface section of an NP900 series device is divided into two user interface sections: one for the
hardware and the other for the software. You can access the software interface either through the front panel
or through the SMART9 freeware software suite.
3.1.1. Local panel structure
The front panel of NP900 series devices have multiple LEDs, control buttons and a local RJ-45 Ethernet
