 MDB Level

Allows user to set the MDB communications level.

  

The Guardian GLX offers two MDB Level setting options:

1.

MDB Level 3 (default setting)

: this is the latest communications protocol and provides added

functionality.  It is recommended for all equipment.

2.

MDB Level 2:

 this is an earlier protocol to support machines prior to the early 1990s that do

not communicate properly using the MDB Level 3 above.  

See Figure 43 for how to change the MDB Level.
