We recently had a customer replace their mate.<br>
Not all the settings are retained in the FX units - many of the generator<br>
start settings were lost in the swap, causing a service call for<br>
reprogramming...<br>

Subject: Re: [RE-wrenches] Outback Mate remote programming<br>
<br>
Outback equipment store their own configuration settings, the MATE is just<br>
an input and display device. The MATE only can program the devices it's<br>
connected to.<br>
