Assigning an MP blade to a journal

You can assign an MP blade or MP unit that controls journals.

If you want to assign MP unit IDs for multiple journals, wait for at least 10 minutes before assigning another MP unit ID. In addition, after assigning an MP unit ID, if you want to change the ID of the same journal, wait for at least 30 minutes.
