Accessing the RCP-QE in DashBoard

Before you can set up and send a configuration file to the RCP-QE, you must access it in DashBoard. In order to
access the RCP-QE in DashBoard, the RCP-QE needs to be detected and the IP address for the LAN configured for
use within a network using Walkabout. Once the network settings are configured in Walkabout, the RCP-QE is
visible in DashBoard and can have the device details configured and a configuration file sent to it.
