4. Highlight an existing neighbor and click the Edit button to launch a screen designed to modify the self

5. Select the Remove Neighbors button to remove all neighbors from the selected radio’s neighbor list.
6. Click the Detect Neighbors button to auto-determine neighbors for the radios.
Enabling this feature automatically makes each radio disassociate with their attached MUs, clear their
current neighbor list and move into detection mode to detect neighboring radios.
Detect Neighbors only works properly if all the radios are configured and adopted. Starting the automatic
neighbor detection feature disassociates all of the MUs and clears the current neighbor configuration.
