Test Your Workstation

Test your workstation to see that it can access the Internet. If a connection is established, then the settings have
been entered correctly.

Note:

If you had changed your IP Address, be sure to enter the new one when you access

the Internet.

Set Time and Date

The date and time must be set using the Web Management software.
The time and date set in IP Setup will not be correct unless SNTP client is enabled and you have a live Internet
connection. See SNTP client.

Shutdown Caution

Never unplug the power until after you have performed the Save & Reset process. If the setup changes are not
properly saved before unplugging the power, data could be lost.
