Note
The local (front panel) TCU GUI LCD screen and control buttons cannot be used to update LPU software,
it is updated via remote web browser.
Note
Harris recommends the Firefox browser. In Firefox, screens can be enlarged by pressing <Ctrl> and <+>
simultaneously. Screen sizes are reduced by pressing <Ctrl> and <-> simultaneously.
Note
If REMOTE is Disabled on the hardware front panel, navigation and monitoring via web browser is still
possible but transmitter control is not.
