In rare instances, you may need to use the configuration software on the

Configuration screen while connected to the Provider unit. See
”Configuration” on page 38 for a description of the Configuration screen.

unattainable, the link attempt will fail because the units are not set to use
the default parameters as back-ups.
Install
The Install mode enables a watchdog timer to monitor the link attempt
process. If the network extenders are not able to establish a link using the
parameters you set on the Provider unit within a reasonable amount of
