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.
