The Main Menu options are briefly described below.
System Configuration options allow you to change various
aspects of the Model 2720’s operation, e.g., framing, line cod-
ing, and aggregate bandwidth.
System Diagnostics/Statistics options allow you to monitor
the network performance, initiate V.54 loops, local loops, and
send test patterns. Network performance parameters are
updated once a second, giving you the ability to quickly deter-
mine if there is a problem.
Unit Options allow you to customize the Model 2720 for your
location. You can change the default header names to give
each unit a unique name and password. Also, you can reset
the unit to its default settings without the manual. It also has a
Service Information screen in case you need technical assis-
tance from Patton Electronics.
Save Changes. Once you have configured the unit to your
satisfaction, you can save the changes permanently by exe-
cuting the Save Changes command. This will update the unit’s
configuration and save all the parameters to permanent mem-
ory.
Logoff. For security, log off the control menu by executing
the Logoff command. This will blank the screen until an
[Enter] key is pressed.
