  4. Click Submit.
  5. Reboot the device for the changes to take effect.
    Note: The Arctic device’s local network is scanned for new devices about twice per hour at the most. If a non-continuous Patrol connection is configured, the scanning is limited to the chosen connection interval. Only networks with a netmask of 255.255.255.* are scanned to avoid excessive scanning time.
