As I recall, you are not configuring the Commander portion of DXLab

Every K3 includes the KIO3 I/O interface that provides connectivity to a PC.

I think you'll find that it is NaP3 that is doing this. NaP3 has default

The KPA500 draws in air from the top, and exhausts it out the back. So
placing the KAT500 under the amplifier shouldn't affect KPA500 air flow.

There should be no interaction issues between the KAT500 and the KPA500 when
the KAT is under the amp. We also beefed up the KAT500 cabinet to handle the
weight of the KPA500.
Also, placing it on top of the amp does not raise amp PA transistor temp
significantly for most casual duty cycle use,
I hope there is a wish list for the P-3 Utility. It really eases the process of
upgrading firmware, etc.
Please add:
- "Save P3 Configuration"
- "Reload P3 Configuration"
This would be the same feature set as in the K3 Utility.
Thanks for the great little utility!

So the official word is that the KAT500 can be positioned either under, or
on top of, the KPA500. It can take the weight of the KPA500. That's good to
