Remote Configuration
Remote configuration is altering or setting any parameter on any unit other
than the local NetRunner unit. Once the WAN network link is operational,
this process can occur.
Remote NetRunner Configuration
The local NetRunner unit can configure the remote NetRunner unit in the
same manner as the local NetRunner is configured. You should connect one
WAN network link first, then reconfigure the remote node name and ID
before connecting the next WAN network link (if the link is connected to yet
another remote NetRunner unit).
Note:
Refer to the Installation and Cabling Manual for connection and cabling
information.
If you see the message
!240 DUPLICATE NODE ID #[channel number]
during the configuration procedure which follows, it means you did not
rename the local node. You need to complete that configuration first before
renaming the remote node (refer to instructions on page 37).
It is not recommended that you configure integral modems remotely.

The remote Command Facility Main Menu will display. It looks exactly the
same except that the node ID of the remote node ID will be displayed at the
top of the screen. This is the only difference between the remote and local
Command Facility Main Menu.
From this point, the procedure to configure the remote NetRunner is the
same as that for the local NetRunner. Remember that this invokes a node
reset, which returns you will be returned to the local Command Facility.
