1. A method for configuring a plurality of printed circuit boards (PCBs) mounted in a cabinet, wherein each PCB has a corresponding
set of capabilities, the method comprising:
providing an initial configuration describing a first set of capabilities corresponding to each PCB as currently configured;
modifying the initial configuration through a user interface to produce a new configuration describing a second set of capabilities
corresponding to each PCB after configuring is complete;
saving the initial configuration as modified by the user interface to be the new configuration; and
configuring the plurality of PCBs according to the new configuration,
wherein modifying the initial configuration further comprises:
displaying on screen a representation of each PCB, arranged in a first arrangement, such that the first arrangement corresponds
generally to a second arrangement of the plurality of PCBs;
selecting at least one PCB to be modified; and
modifying at least one capability in the first set of capabilities for the at least one selected PCB.
