You have to build a parameter control file (pcl extension) in the parameter translation editor. Once the PCL file is built you then use an ftp client (I used the DOS client that comes with XP) to transfer the file to the proper folder in the PL1000E. The PL1000E must then be restarted so that it loads the parameter file. The software disk comes with very clear directions for how to do all of this.
