■
click File >
Open
, and open the device configuration file for the
system, or
■
click Edit >
Add Device
and define the table.
The system configuration table must be downloaded to devices in the
order stated within these steps. If not, then the control head may receive
the same address as a radio body and you will no longer be able to com-

The entire table must be downloaded to each device, not just informa-
tion about the device that the table is intended for. See

Connect the control head directly to the radio body that you want to
assign with the highest numerical NTID value (in the example table
in
