Configuration Options
Newly assigned IP addresses and netmasks are checked for valid values before being applied to an RCP-ME. If
the new values are invalid they will be discarded silently. Only a refresh of the RCP-ME Connection Editor will
show that the values were not set.
The bottom half of the RCP-ME Connection Editor is organized into three areas: Network Settings, Servers to
Connect to, and Connections. A toolbar at the bottom of the RCP-ME Connection Editor provides buttons for
updating the panel.
