Appendix B – User Defined Menu   

User Manual for AZ430 WAN Satellite Modem 

 

APPENDIX B – USER DEFINED MENU 

You can configure the user menu according to your needs. In this way, you can 
create a quick access to those control, monitor and testing parameters that you 
need to change or monitor regularly. In addition, you can also change the order in 
which the menu items are presented to meet your specific demands. This is very 
useful in, for example, the DSNG applications. Here you can pre-configure the 
general parameters and store them in the default boot-configuration. You can then 
make all relevant parameters that need a quick change during link setup available 
as a group in the user menu. When you have done this, you can operate the WAN 
Satellite Modem without having to go through all the different menus. A typical 
example would be to group the parameters output frequency, output level and 
transmit while leaving all other parameters untouched.
