The invention relates to a method for configuring a switched-mode power supply (1) with multiple output channels (3, 4, 5, 6). The switched-mode power supply (1) comprises at least one operating element (8, 9) for each output channel (3, 4, 5, 6), said operating element being used to manually adjust an operating parameter for the corresponding output channel (3, 4, 5, 6). The switched-mode power supply (1) comprises an interface (11) for a remote configuration, wherein each manually adjusted operating parameter is output to a remote configuring unit (13) by means of the interface (11), and each manually adjusted operating parameter is transferred into a switched-mode power supply (1) configuration which is set by means of the configuring unit (13). 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 (1).
