If the check box is not selected: The replacement will be done only by pressing the
RESTORE key on the scanner or using the Edit drop-down.
If the check box is selected: The replacement will be completely automatic. This will
work also as Hot-Automatic-Replacement without turning the system power off
and on.
Force Operation as a Standalone/Master
Select the check box to allow a scanner to operate as a Master without a CBX
attached.
The SC5000 Controller will always be shown as Master and cannot be changed.
