User name and password only necessary if user management is enabled
The "User name" and "Password" text boxes only need to be completed if the user
management of the WBM is enabled.
Following the upload/download, the status bar indicates whether the action was completed

configurations. These buttons enable you to save configurations, reload them and transfer
them to other communication modules. You will find further information on saving and
loading the configuration on or from the PC in the section "The WBM (Page 63)".
