®

 7000 Software Controls Menu, the Web Interface Controls Screen 

allows the user to monitor system operations, and perform automatic as well as manual 
system functions. The main difference between the web interface and iNetVu Application 
is that the Compass Calibration (CP CAL), Compass Test (CP TEST), Azimuth 
Calibration (AZ CAL), and Polarization Calibration (PL CAL) are all in the iNetVu 
Controls web page, rather than the Maintenance menu.
