HELPFUL HINTS

1. To make a selection, key the highlighted letter that corre-

sponds to a menu selection.

2. To execute the selection, type [Enter/CR]

3. To toggle between options on a highlighted selection, Press

[space].

4. Select Save Changes from Main Menu after making modi-

fications to any Model 2720 parameter. Otherwise, changes

will be lost when the Model 2720 is turned off.

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.
