In rare instances, you may need to use the configuration software on the
Subscriber unit to attempt link recovery. If the configuration software

section.
After you have selected the correct port and clicked the OK button, the
AT-MC60x Configurator Select Mode screen will appear, as displayed in

the Configuration screen while connected to the Provider unit. See
”Configuration” on page 38 for a description of the Configuration screen.

Install
The Install mode enables a watchdog timer to monitor the link attempt
process. If the network extenders are not able to establish a link using
the parameters you set on the Provider unit within a reasonable amount
