Operate any relays or output channels
●
Change any settings
●
Save or load any device backups or switching paths

Use the functions
To terminate the remote operation mode and enable the user interface again, choose
one of the following actions:

In the remote control program, select "Disconnect" or "GTL" ("goto local") or an
equivalent command
●

After returning to local operation, all functions of the switch unit are available locally in
its user interface.

Remote control programs like R&S
Forum can set the switch unit to a
"Local Lock-

To terminate the LLO state, select GTR (goto remote) or GTL (goto local) in your
remote control program. See "Remote / Local Control" in
