If you have made configuration changes, an alert box asks if you want to save them. If you have changed the port, an alert box also tells you that the change will interrupt any AppleTalk services that are established. This means that your network services such as printers and e-mail may be temporarily unavailable, and you may have to choose a printer and log on to your e-mail again after saving changes.

6To save your changes, click the Save button.

Your changes take effect immediately; you do not have to restart your computer.
