Configuration Mismatch
Warning
When the SDU is connected to the DCU,
the DCU will analyze the configuration
in the SDU and compare it to the stored
configuration in the DCU. If these do
not match, the DCU will give a
“Configuration Mismatch” warning.
The warning can be acknowledged, but
DCU login rights are required to reset
this warning. With login rights, the
configuration can be copied from the
DCU to the SDU, or vice versa.
