Configurable parameters have a dialog box or a drop-down list. Once a
configuration change has been made on a page, be sure to click on the
Apply button to confirm the new setting. The following table summarizes
the web page configuration buttons.
Notes: 1. To ensure proper screen refresh, be sure that Internet Explorer
5.x is configured as follows: Under the menu “Tools / Internet
Options / General / Temporary Internet Files / Settings,” the
setting for item “Check for newer versions of stored pages”
should be “Every visit to the page.”
2. When using Internet Explorer 5.0, you may have to manually
refresh the screen after making configuration changes by
pressing the browser’s refresh button.

or down), Duplex (i.e., half or full duplex), or Flow Control

the image of a port opens the Port Configuration page as described on
