Chapter 4 Configuring Controller Settings

Using the Configuration Wizard

Using the Configuration Wizard

This section describes how to configure basic settings on a controller for the first time or after the configuration has been reset to factory defaults. The contents of this chapter are similar to the instructions in the quick start guide that shipped with your controller.

You use the configuration wizard to configure basic settings. You can run the wizard on the CLI or the GUI. This section explains how to run the wizard on the CLI.
