appliance. Once selected, the LCD displays a list of
configurable options. Status options available include:
• X0 IP and subnet

• Restore defaults
The X1 Mode can be set to Static (default option) or to DHCP. If
DHCP is selected, manual configuration options are not shown
for X1 IP, subnet, gateway and DNS.
The Restore Defaults option will reset the appliance to default
factory settings. If selected it will prompt for confirmation twice
before restoring defaults.
If an option is selected but not modified, the appliance will
display a message stating that no changes were made and will
return the user to the edit value screen. If a change was made,
it will prompt the user for confirmation before effecting the
