Setting up the Qube 3

This chapter guides you through the process of connecting and conﬁguring the

Cobalt Qube 3 for your network and user community. A typical setup process

takes less than 15 minutes, after which you can begin using all of the Qube 3

services.

If the Qube 3 has been conﬁgured previously for a different network, refer to “Set

up network” on page 196.

groups, using a computer with a valid Web browser.
