Editing Configuration Files
Once a Remote unit’s operation is fine-tuned, use the Configuration
Scripts Menu on Page 63 to save a copy of the configuration in a PC.
Once the file is saved in the PC it can be used as a source to generate
modified copies adjusted to match other devices. The configuration files
can be modified using a text editor or an automated process. (Not pro-
vide by MDS).
We recommend that you review and update the following parameters for
each individual unit. Other parameters may also be changed.
