A method for configuring a switched-mode power supply with multiple output channels, where the switched-mode power supply includes at least one operating element for each output channel, where the operating element is used to manually adjust an operating parameter for the corresponding output channel, the switched-mode power supply also includes an interface for performing a remote configuration, where each manually adjusted operating parameter is output to a remote configuring unit via the interface, and each manually adjusted operating parameter is transferred into a switched-mode power supply configuration that is set via the configuring unit such that, in a manual mode, adjusted operating parameters are transferred into the remote configuration and are used in a remote mode upon restarting the switched-mode power supply.
