Selecting a Station Configuration File
Select a station by filling in the STATION_NAME field in one of three ways.
Type in the Station Name, or
Type in a << MAC Address>> specified as exactly 12 hexadecimal digits within a
double set of brackets (for example, <<08001901001d>>). The GSM will convert
the MAC address into the corresponding station name, or
Select a station from a list of stations. Press Alt-L for the list. From this list, you select
the desired station, which is then displayed on the Configure a Station Menu.
The Up Arrow, Down Arrow, Pg Up, Pg Dn, Home, and End keys may be used to move
within the list. You may also begin a search by pressing Alt-S. When the desired station
is displayed at the top of the list, press the Enter key to select that station. The selected
station name is then displayed on the Configure a Station Screen.
After selecting a station, you may press Alt-E to enter the Configuration Editor.
Deleting a Station Configuration File
