[Committing Changes]  
Whenever you use the configuration program to change system settings, the changes are 
initially placed in temporary storage called random access memory or RAM. Your changes are 
made effective when you submit them, but can be lost if the device is reset or turned off. 
You can commit changes to save them permanently to flash memory.
