always contains a [New Record] item to configure another machine. Choose
an item from this list to enter or view its parameters.

with the current specification or setting. Choose a parameter to enter or
change the specification or setting.
• The right column has fields for entering data. To add or change a parameter
setting, select a parameter and enter the value for the parameter in the field
to the right. You can enter values as:
Descriptive text, such as an IP address
Time in hours, minutes, and seconds
True or false statements
When there is more than one value field, press Tab to move to the next field.
To delete information in a field, select the text, then click Delete.
