4.Highlight an existing neighbor and click the Edit button to launch a screen designed to modify the self healing action and/or neighbors for the radio. For more information, see Editing the Properties of a Neighbor on page 5-48.

5.Select the Remove Neighbors button to remove all neighbors from the selected radio’s neighbor list.

6.Click the Detect Neighbors button to auto-determine neighbors for the radios.

NOTE: The Detect Neighbors button is enabled only when the Enable Neighbor Recovery checkbox is selected from within the Configuration tab. Ensure this option has been enabled before trying to detect neighbors.

Enabling this feature automatically makes each radio disassociate with their attached MUs, clear their current neighbor list and move into detection mode to detect neighboring radios.

Detect Neighbors only works properly if all the radios are configured and adopted. Starting the automatic neighbor detection feature disassociates all of the MUs and clears the current neighbor configuration.
