Configuration Scripts Menu
If you plan to have more than a few transceivers in your network, you may want to use the
Configuration Script feature (below) to configure similar radios from a common set of
parameters. Over 50 customer settings that optimize the network are saved in a configuration
file (data file). However, only a few essential parameters need to be reviewed and altered to
use the file with another transceiver.
A configuration file makes it easy to apply your unique settings to any transceiver(s) you wish.
Configuration files also provide you with a tool to restore parameters to a known working set,
in the event that a parameter is improperly set and performance is affected. See Using
Configuration Scripts
for detailed instructions and a sample configuration file.
