Making Configuration Changes
Configurable parameters have a dialog box or a drop-down list. Once
a configuration change has been made on a page, most times you will
need to click the “SAVE SETTINGS” or “NEXT” button at the bottom
of the page to enable the new setting. Some options may also have an
“ADD” button also.
Note: To ensure proper screen refresh after a command entry, be sure
that Internet Explorer 5.0 and above is configured as follows: Under
the menu Tools/Internet Options/General/Temporary Internet Files/
Settings, the setting for “Check for newer versions of stored pages”
should be “Every visit to the page.”

prompted with the following screen. You can quickly select your
country, add in your username and password for your ISP into the
