iNet3+v2 

18 

3.1 Setup wizard 

When iNet3+v2 is started for the first 
time, it runs through a setup wizard to 
configure settings for date/time and 
network. Once this has finished, the 
system is ready to use in most modes.  

Note: To change these settings later, 
select 

 Menu  > 

System settings >. 

To run the setup wizard again, select 

 

Menu  > 

System settings > Setup 

wizard

. 

 

Select 

Yes

 to start the setup wizard. 

If you choose 

No

, the next screen asks 

if you would like to run the wizard next 
time INet3+v2 is started. The system 
then starts without configuring 
time/date and network settings and 
enters the Main Menu. 

Note: If power is removed while the 
wizard is in progress, the wizard will 
run again next time iNet3+v2 is started.
