For each box containing an “Apply” button, fill in the required fields
and press “apply” once. The settings are applied immediately after
the button is pressed. If there are several boxes with an “Apply” but-
ton on one page, fill in the information per box and press the button
for each box separately. This saves the new configuration parameters
in volatile memory (RAM) only.
The “alert” symbol shows you that somewhere a user input is missing
for correct functionality. In the case of the present WAN page, you

falls. Read them whenever you encounter them!
