Configuring Stand-alone Parameters

Parameters that are not contained in a table are referred to as stand-alone parameters.

■

If you change the value of a parameter (before clicking Apply), the parameter's field is highlighted, as shown in the example below:

■

If you change the value of a parameter from its default value and then click Apply, a dot appears next to the parameter's field, as shown in the example below:

■

If you change the value of a parameter that is displayed with a lightning-bolt icon (as shown in the example below), you must save your settings to flash memory with a device restart for your changes to take effect. When you change such a parameter and then click Apply, the Restart button on the toolbar is encircled by a red border. If you click the button, the Maintenance Actions page opens, which provides commands for doing this (see Basic Maintenance).

■

Typically required parameters are displayed in bold font.

■

If you enter an invalid value for a parameter and then click Apply, a message box appears notifying you of the invalid value. Click OK to close the message. The parameter reverts to its previous value and the field is surrounded by a colored border, as shown in the figure below:

■

To get help on a parameter, simply hover your mouse over the parameter's field and a pop-up help appears, displaying a brief description of the parameter.
