parameters in the top row.
Note:
For channel parameters, the top
row includes an additional field (at the

is used to select the channel. In this
case, use the CURSOR key to bring the
cursor to the channel identification
field, then SCROLL to show the desired
channel.

parameter in the selected group and its
current value.

When the last parameter in this group
is displayed, select the new parameter
values.
Note
: You must press ENTER after
changing parameters of a certain
group, e.g., SYSTEM, LINK, or those of
a given module, etc. If you change
parameter values, but return the cursor
to the first field and scroll to another
group without pressing ENTER, the
changes made so far in this group are
discarded and you will see the message
CONFIG LOST. If downloading is
enabled, the relevant parameter
changes are also sent to the remote
MX-2100.
ENTER
The MX-2100 checks the validity of the
selected values. If the values are valid,
the cursor returns to the first field in
the top row. The second row displays
shortly CONFIG ENTER, and then
returns to the normal display.
If an error is detected, you will see a
CONFIG ERROR message, then the
display returns to its previous state.
