The ‘local’ radio might be the near-end or the far-end radio, depending on
how you have connected to the radio’s management interface. The terms ‘local’
and ‘remote’ simply refer to the orientation of the radio terminals relative to the
IP address that you are managing. When making certain changes to a near-end
radio without first making changes to the far-end radio, it is possible to disconnect
the link unless configuration changes are made back to their original settings.
When making changes that have the opportunity to disrupt the link, always
change the far-end radio first, then the near-end radio to match.
The Summary Status Section can allow the browser-based GUI to be used as a rudimentary
management system. Shrink the browser window to display just the top bar or also the radio
information, and several separate browsers may be placed on your computer desktop
simultaneously. When a window status changes to yellow or red, you may quickly expand that
browser window to determine the issues.

5.4.2 Navigation Section
Navigating the browser-based GUI is similar to browsing folders on a typical window-based
computer.
The menus that can be expanded are illustrated with a plus (+) to the left of the page name.
Clicking on the plus or on the page name title will expand the menu to reveal sub-menus that are
available. Likewise, menus may be collapsed when a minus (–) sign appears to the left of the
page name.
Management pages are indicated with an X to the left of the page name. Clicking on the X or on
the page name will reveal the specific page within the main window.
5.5 Radio Information Page
This page provides general information about the local radio terminal. This information can be
very helpful in a troubleshooting situation and for your records.
