Save Settings 

Once the setup is complete, you must save the changes to make sure everything 
works as configured after the ICMs are restarted.  All the setup changes are stored in 
RAM, which is erased when power is removed from the ICM.  The save process 
compresses the new configuration and copies it to flash memory on the ICM where it 
will be saved permanently, and reloaded when the ICM powers up. 
 
Click the Save button to save your changes.  This will cause all ICMs on the network 
to save changes, and will cause the system to be unresponsive for at least 20 seconds 
and as long as three minutes depending on the amount of data and graphic images on 
the ICMs.

Caution

: If you do not save the setup, the changes you made will be lost when the 

ICMs lose power.
