Caution
Submitting changes makes them effective during the current boot session only. You must
save any changes if you want them to be retained across a power cycle (reboot).
Table Sorting
Tables shown in the web pages can be sorted in each column. To sort a column, click at the top of the
column to sort by that field. For example, in the Event Log page, clicking on the Event Time column will
sort the entries by that field.
Help Page Access
The Help button, shown in
, is always available in the upper-right corner of the active page.
Click the button to open a new page that contains information about the configuration fields, status
fields, and command buttons available on the active page.
The online help pages are context sensitive. For example, if the IP Addressing page is open, the help
topic for that page displays when you click the Help button.
Figure 4: Help Button
