nected. You will need to set
up each of these ports separately, as described in the following

• When using the Web Browser interface, activate by clicking Activate.
• When using the Console utility, activate by first highlighting the Activate menu option, and then press
Enter. You should receive the Set device IP settings are now active! (Press any key to continue)
