Channel Configuration
The Channel Configuration Menu enables the administrator to edit the computer names, security classes, and
individual scan rates associated with each channel (Figure 15). Any device—such as a computer or any
MasterConsole unit—can be connected to MX
4
channels. To create a two-tier installation, MasterConsole units are
cascaded from one or more of the MX
4
channels. (See Two-Tier Installation on page 19.) This section describes the
channel configuration for a stand-alone MX
4
.
