Resource Block Configuration Problems
Problem
Action
Cannot bring Resource Block
into
Auto
mode
Make sure the Reset switch is disabled. You cannot bring the
Resource Block into
Auto
with the Reset switch On (this
prevents you from losing your entire configuration if you
inadvertently leave the Reset switch On).
Cannot set the
WRITE_LOCK
parameter.
Make sure the Write Lock switch is On. Changing
WRITE_LOCK
is enabled only when the Write Lock switch is
On. If you want to disallow configuration writes to the device,
set the Write Lock switch to On, then write
Locked
to this
parameter.
