At the maintenance page of the device window there are a couple of configuration parameters which must be set to make the software talk to the unit.
| parameter | description |
|---|---|
| address | The device address (decimal) as set at the device's front panel. |
| reference | Defines if internal or external reference is used. |
| autoStore | Switching this to YES makes the driver automatically save the device configuration into it's flash memory after every change. NO disables automatic saving, you may use the 'SAVE BOOT CONFIG' button in the sat-nms GUI to save the actual configuration explicitly. |
| deviceComment | An optional text entered here appears as an addition to the tooltip which is shown while the mouse is placed over a device icon in the GUI. The "\n" character sequence is translated into a newline character, splitting the text into multiple lines. |
| powerDisplayMode | Defines the display of gain or attenuation in the parameter section. |
