Parameter Setup
The four Cursor Control Arrow Keys are used to navigate the menu tree and select the parameter
to be set. After arriving at a parameter that needs to be modified, depress <ENTER>. The first
space of the modifiable parameter highlights (blinks) and is ready for a new parameter to be
entered. After entering the new parameter using the keypad (Refer to Figure 4-2), depress
<ENTER> to lock in the new parameter. If a change needs to be made prior to pressing
<ENTER>, depress <CLEAR> and the display defaults back to the original parameter. Depress
<ENTER> again and re-enter the new parameters followed by <ENTER>.
Following a valid input, the unit will place the new setting into the nonvolatile EEPROM making
it available immediately and available the next time the unit is powered-up.

rate has been entered, then the data rate must be compatible with
the desired mode of operation or the network spec will not be
allowed. The following parameters cannot be changed while the
