These preferences are open to all users and allow variations in how the Net Control GUI is viewed
and operated. For example, some changes allow users who are more familiar with the ACU

in their new locations. Additional detail is provided on the following pages.
‘Multi-Channel Click Behaviors’ define what happens when you click on one channel, then click
on a different channel.
Each user may choose to have the main 'Net Control' page behave in slightly different ways based

communications. The Net Control Preferences options allow some operations to be tailored to
