(1) Default percentages can be changed during commissioning.
(2) If crane direction anti-sway is disabled during commissioning, automatic trolley destination moves may be enabled. If gantry/crane control is not enabled during commissioning, automatic trolley destination moves may be created and saved.
(3) May share temporary connection for programming or software update; requires additional hardware supplied on short term basis by Netarus.
