The Unit Configuration window (See Figure 7) gives the user the ability to view and alter
the system settings. Th
is window is accessed through the “
Unit C
onfiguration” menu
item under the configuration menu.
Under the “General” tab, users have the ability to
verify the current configuration by selecting the
“Get All Values” button.
This button
simply provides users with the currently set configuration of the unit and displays the
values in the left column of boxes.
There are three tabs within the “Unit Configuration” menu; General, Advanced and BIT
Configuration. The General tab displays some of the most commonly used settings. The
Advanced and BIT Configuration menus provide users with more detailed setting
information that they can tailor to meet their specific needs.
To alter a setting, simply select the check box on the left of the value that you wish to
modify and then select the value using the drop down menu on the right side. Once you
have selected the appropriate value, these settings can be set temporarily or permanently
(a software reset or power cycle is required for the changes to take affect) by selecting
from the choices at the bottom of the dialog box. Once the settings have been altered a
“Success” box will appear at the bottom of the page.
IMPORTANT
Caution must be taken to ensure that the settings selected are compatible with the system
that is being configured.
In most cases a “FAIL” message will appear if incompatible
selections are made by the user, however it is the users responsibility to ensure proper
configuration of the unit.
