[GreenKeys] Woot! M15 has arrived - and I am already STUCK!

@All

Whoa, thanks guys!

I have a number of M15 manuals, hard to say exactly what's what.. but like
I said, so far I haven't found an installation doc (which is what I assume
would have the most concise version of what I need.

Here's a quick list of my M15 directory:

That's what I've got.

One (hopefully) easy question is this - How do I put it in "local" mode? I
assume that for the M15, I'll need to use the 120V / 60mA supply in my
converter? But were do I make the various connections?

Ok - back to it. I'll check back here in a few mins. ;-)
