Select Image to export the QR code as an image file so that the image can be scanned. After your selection, click Download.
-
Send to Device: Select this method if you want to apply the configuration over the air. In the popup window, select (check) the target device(s) and click Send. The action will be performed when the target device is connected to the server.
Using Existing Configurations
