3.6 INTERFACE MODE
In this mode, you can set various parameters governing the use of interface cards. Due to the
wide range of interface cards available, only the default interface configuration settings are
covered in this section. A flowchart overview of advanced settings for all the optional interface
cards is included at the end of this chapter, and a detailed discussion of advanced settings can
be found in the GT Series Service Manual available upon request.
