Saving your changes
When you exit a profile after changing any of its settings, a message prompt asks if you want
to save the changes.
EXIT?
>0=ESC (Don’t exit)
1=Exit and discard
2=Exit and accept
You can save the profile values by choosing the Exit and Accept option and pressing Enter, or
by pressing the 2 key.
Using the palmtop-controller
If you have a standard MAX unit, or if you purchased the palmtop-controller expansion card,
you can establish a console session by plugging in the palmtop-controller, which has a
four-line LCD display.
In the palmtop-controller, each menu displays only four lines, and each line displays a
maximum of 20 characters. The palmtop-controller screen contains a single display. For
example:
Main Edit Menu
>00-000 System
10-000 Net/...
20-000 Host/...
The process of editing from the palmtop controller is nearly identical to the process of editing
from the control-monitor, except that the Right-Arrow key replaces the functions of the
Enter/Return key. Proceed as follows:
1
Press Ctrl-N or the Down-Arrow key and move the cursor to the Name parameter.
21-101 Albu O
>Name=Mark
Dial #=555-1212
Call Type=AIM
2
Press the Right-Arrow key to begin to edit.
When you press the Right-Arrow key, an edit field opens, and the current value appears
within the brackets:
21-101 Albu O
Name:
[Mark]
3
If you want to clear the text, begin typing, overwriting the existing value.
4
To modify only a few characters of existing text, use the arrow keys to position the cursor,
then delete or overwrite the characters.
5
To close the edit field and accept the new text, press Enter.
