changed the view to another subcategory, Element will remember the view you were in when
you return to setup.

the system.
{Num of Channels}
You may use this field to set the number of channels in your Element up to 10,000. However,
you are limited to only patch up to the number of channels that are available from your system,
either 250 or 500 depending on the channel count for your Element. Enter the number of
channels for your system using the keypad. This is useful for controlling paging. This entry must
be confirmed with the [Enter] key.
