Using The Editor
Selecting one of the configuration files above will bring that file into the editor. Once
inside the editor, you may use arrow keys to move the cursor around. If the arrow keys do
not work with your terminal emulator, press Ctrl+P for up [previous], Ctrl+N for down
[next], Ctrl+B for left [back], and Ctrl+F for right [forward] for cursor motion.

keystrokes.)

To make changes in the editor, simply move the cursor to the point you want to change
and start typing. You can delete text behind the cursor by moving the cursor to the
position immediately following the character you want to remove, and then by pressing
either the Backspace or Delete keys, or by typing Ctrl+H. To delete text in front of the
cursor, press Ctrl+D. To delete text from the cursor to the end of the line, press Ctrl+K.

After editing is completed, save these changes by pressing Ctrl+W. After the changes are
saved, the Edit Configuration menu will return to the screen. Although changes will be
saved, they will not take effect until you power the wireless bridge off and back on. If you
decide that you do not want to save the changes you have made, press Ctrl+X. The editor
will ask you for confirmation, and then will return you to the Edit Configuration Menu.

confused as you type, press Ctrl+L to force a screen to redraw the image.

Configuration File Format
Those familiar with the Windows WIN.INI file format will recognize the format of the
configuration file. The file is divided into sections that define a particular grouping of
options. Each section contains a section header at the top, shown as a string of text
surrounded by square brackets: [ ]. This string is the section title. After each section
header, there is a list of entries containing equal signs. The text before the equal sign is a
key and the text after the equal sign is the value. Changing the value of different keys is
how configuration changes are performed.

Comments may be stored in the configuration file by inserting a pound sign (#) before the
text to be added. This allows room for an explanation as to why certain settings have been
made, who made the changes, etc. You may write anything in a comment, but the
comment ends at the end of the line. You can create multi-line comments by inserting
the # at the beginning of each line. For example:
