Automatically Setting Appliance Preferences

  1. Go to System in the top panel.
  2. In the left System menu, select System Initial Settings > Preferences.
  3. Enter the setting values for preferences.
  4. Click the Update button.

Note

To change settings for individual appliances, proceed from System > Select Appliance IP > Preferences tab.
