Re: Line/Controller configuration weirdness

Richard,

When you say the line description was gone, are you looking at the controller
status screen or are you looking at the line description/status screen?  If you
are looking at the controller status screen, it won't show the line until the
controller is active.

Also, I think when you do a copy, check that the "attached line" field is not
blank on the new description and expecting you to fill it in.
