The Overwrite LED indicates if there is any byte in any timeslot having
the Overwrite check box selected (LED is green) or not (LED is gray).
Disable All allows to clear the Overwrite check box for all bytes in all
timeslots.
The following overhead byte values are displayed in hexadecimal format.
However, a common field allows to see the value of specific byte in binary
format. Click on the blue label of a byte and its binary value will be
displayed in the common field beside the Timeslot selection.
