Phoenix G2 IDU User Manual WEB GUI The design change will load a configuration pre-sets for the given design. That means the device should be re-configured by the user after each design type change. It is recommended to reboot the device after such re-configuration. It may happen that The link to the remote side will be lost after design type change. In this case local access to all devices must be ensured before design type change. The remote side IDU/ODU has to be configured separately.
