Caution The preferred configuration method is to use menus as described
in the previous section; however, you can edit a parameter directly if your
host does not support menus. Take care when modifying parameters
directly. If you change the value for one parameter, you may need to
change the value for other parameters.
▲
To edit a parameter, click on it. In some cases, you set the parameter value
by selecting from a drop-down box. For other parameters, you enter the
value. When you change a parameter, an asterisk appears by the name.
