Committing your changes
Whenever you use the Configuration Manager to change system settings, the changes are
initially placed in temporary storage. Your changes are made effective when you submit
them, but will be lost if the device is reset or turned off.
To save your changes for future use, you can use the commit function.
Note
Submitting changes saves them only until the device is reset or
powered down. Committing changes saves them permanently.
