Step 4: Click
File -> Set Configuration if any changes are made within M2Config.. (Sign will reset)
Note: If a display is utilizing a Lantronix device or Ethernet to Serial device the Multiplier needs to be set to 1.
Note * - A standard multiplier setting of 128 will generally work on most Ethernet systems. If issues are experienced when connecting to or publishing content to a display, the multiplier can be adjusted anywhere from 1 to 128. Generally a lower multiplier (1, 5, 16) ensures content transfer.
