Working With Base Station Configurations
Base stations are programmed with many configuration settings. Using the
Service Kit, you can view these settings, change them, and then program them
into the base station. You can also create a new configuration from a template
and save a configuration to a file.
Q
Configuration works differently from other Service Kit functions. Once you
are logged on, you can monitor the base station but you can’t yet view its
configuration. First you must click the Read icon, which instructs the base
station to supply its configuration information.
Q
Programming the base station with a new configuration can only be done
when the base station is in Standby mode.
Q
You can obtain configuration information from a base station, from a
