On some displays, you can enter new val- ues from the keypad.

Both of the devices must have a Device Number already configured, and they must be operating at the same baud rate. The device to be copied TO must not be Configuration Protected.
The device to be copied FROM must be the active device (move the HHM to that block or select it from the Block/Bus Status screen).

2.The Device Number of the active device ap- pears next to the word FROM. Enter the De- vice Number of the device being copied TO. Press F3 (Enter).
3.Press the F4 (Execute) key. The configuration is copied.
