Save Changes from Main Menu after making modi-
fications to any Model 2710A parameter. Otherwise, changes
will be lost when the Model 2710A is turned off.
The Main Menu options are briefly described below.
System Configuration options allow you to change various
aspects of the Model 2710A’s operation, e.g., framing, line
coding, and aggregate bandwidth.
System Diagnostics/Statistics options allow you to monitor
the network performance, initiate V.54 loops, local loops, and
send test patterns. Network performance parameters are
updated once a second, giving you the ability to quickly deter-
mine if there is a problem.
Unit Options allow you to customize the Model 2710A for
your location. You can change the default header names to
give each unit a unique name and password. Also, you can
reset the unit to its default settings without the manual. It also
has a Service Information screen in case you need technical
assistance from Patton Electronics.
Save Changes. Once you have configured the unit to your
satisfaction, you can save the changes permanently by exe-
cuting the Save Changes command. This will update the unit’s
configuration and save all the parameters to permanent mem-
ory.
Logoff. For security, log off the control menu by executing
the Logoff command. This will blank the screen until an
[Enter] key is pressed.
