Working in the Remote Device Mode
In the Remote-device mode, the user has access not only to the “version” and
“configuration” windows but the “terminal” window as well. As discussed, the
“version” window allows you to view both the MRC7601 and the TMRC Graphical
User Interface version numbers. The “configuration” window allows you to upload,
edit, and download configuration to the MRC7601 or save configuration files to
disk for later use or archival purposes. The “terminal window” allows you to
perform command line diagnostic operations.

device does not respond. If either failure occurs, the program will automatically
switch to “stand-alone” mode.

you do not enter a new name, any changes will be saved to the open file.
