3.5 R EMOTE V IEW OF A NI
The facility to remotely examine the status and adjust the engineering settings of a NI from a
connection to the TM is enormously beneficial especially if the host network permits this to be
achieved from anywhere on the network. The view of any NI when accessed in this way is
essentially the same as for a local NI ET connection, the main difference being the number and
designation of the buttons across the lower area.
There are two examples of a NI accessed through the TM ET shown overleaf in Figure 21 ; a
Central NI on the top and a Station NI on the bottom (again the outer frame of the ET screen has
been removed for clarity).
The TM ET only shows the ‘Eng’, ‘Alarms’ and ‘Close’ buttons. With the exception of “Alarm”
related items which are only available to the TM ET as alarm functions, the ‘NI Engineering’
facilities accessed through the ‘Eng’ button are identical to that of a locally connected NI ET – refer
to those sections in the handbook as necessary. The ‘Close’ button closes the view of the NI as
does the standard Windows™ close icon 
