3.4 General Setup

The page 'Setup' contains the sat-nms LFTXRX installation parameters. Installation parameters are those which are assumed to be changed less frequently than the operational parameters on the configuration page .

The page displays a table with the parameters actually set. Each parameter value is a hyper-link to a separate page which lets you change this parameter. This parameter change page shows the actual parameter setting either in an entry field or in a drop down box. You may change the parameter to the desired value and then click to the 'Submit' button to pass the changed value to the LFTXRX. The receiver automatically returns to the settings page when the parameter has been changed.

To cancel a parameter modification you already started, either use the 'Back' button of you web browser or click to the 'Config' button on navigation bar. Both returns to the config page without changing the parameter you edited.

The table below lists the settings provided by this page.
