Committing Changes and Rebooting
Committing your changes
Whenever you use Configuration Manager to change system
settings, the changes are initially placed in a temporary storage
called random access memory or RAM. Your changes become
effective when you submit them, but will be lost if the device is
reset or turned off.
You can commit changes to save them permanently to a flash
memory.
Note:
Submitting changes activates them immediately, but
saves them only until the device is reset or powered
down. Committing changes saves them permanently.
Follow these steps to commit changes.
1. Click the [Admin] tab, and then click [Commit & Reboot]
in the task bar. The [Commit & Reboot] page appears.

2. Click [Commit]. Disregard the selection in the [Reboot Mode:]
drop-down list; it does not affect the commit process. These
changes are saved to a permanent storage. The previous
settings
are copied to a backup storage so that they can be
recalled
if your new settings do not work properly (see the
below rebooting
instructions).
