3.From: The user-defined name for the Common Line (C) for each of the three A/B circuits. Note that if the Common Line name has not been defined, this field will remain empty.

4.To: The user defined name for the currently selected "A" or "B" line for each of the three A/B circuits. Note that if the A/B line names have not been defined, this field will remain empty.

5.POS (Position): The currently selected "A" or "B" line for each of the three A/B circuits. This field will list either "A" or "B" to indicate which line is currently connected to the Common Line.

6.MON (Monitor Mode): An asterisk will appear in this field for each circuit that has been configured for the Monitor Mode. An asterisk indicates that the circuit will be monitored if the Monitor Mode is enabled. Note that if the Monitor Mode has been configured at this circuit, but not actually enabled, an asterisk will still appear in this field.

7.Default: The default A/B position that has been defined for this circuit using the Circuit Parameters Menu. This does not reflect the currently selected A/B Line, but indicates which A/B line will be selected if the PLS is reset to default settings.

8.Other Parameters: The lower half of the status screen lists currently selected values for most of the parameters that are selected via the General Parameters Menu, plus the status of the Monitor Mode.
