When a user clicks on any of theConfiguration tabs, that user acquires the Configuration Lock, preventing others from modifying the configurations.Other users may click on Configuration tabs at the same time, but will view all data in Read-only mode. Only afterthe lock is released can another user modify configurations.To Release the Configuration Lock:• Save the Configuration Changes: Saving the configuration commits the updated information to the unit andautomatically releases the Configuration Lock.• Reload the Previous Configuration: Reloading the previous configuration deletes all updated information,reverts to the previously saved data, and automatically releases the Configuration Lock.• Unlock the Configuration: Clicking on the [Unlock Config] button located in the lower right corner of allConfiguration screens releases the Configuration Lock only if the user has not updated any configurationchanges. If any changes have been updated, only a Save or a Reload can unlock the configuration.Note: Releasing the configuration lock loses any changes that are not updated.Important! It is advisable to release the configuration lock once all necessary changes are made. Thisleaves the configuration available in the event that other users have to make modifications to the device.UpdateMany of the Configuration tab screens feature an [Update] button.
