Some pages in the configuration have three buttons: Enter, Clear all Changes, and
Apply all Changes. Here is how to use these buttons:
Enter stores settings temporarily in the device cache memory, but does not
apply them permanently in the device nonvolatile memory. You can use Enter
to save changes while you are configuring, but you cannot see the changes on
the System Summary Page until after you click Apply all Changes. You can use
Enter when you are making changes on multiple configuration pages, but you
do not want the changes to take effect until after all have been set.
Clear all Changes returns the settings in the device cache memory to the values
they had before you last clicked Apply all Changes.
Apply all Changes stores the settings permanently in the device nonvolatile
memory. After you click Apply all Changes, the new configuration settings take
effect and you can see the changes on the System Summary page.
If you forget to Enter or Apply all Changes before moving to a new configuration
page, your changes to the current page are lost. If you forget to Apply all
Changes before closing the browser, your changes are lost.
Under System Configuration, click System Properties. The System Properties page
displays the properties of the selected device. You can change properties by
