Step 9	When the login screen appears enter user name and password User = Administrator Password = 1234
Step 10	Confirm the data sending to the controller , select "Yes"
Step 11	If the following message is present on the teach pendant select OK
Step 12	You should get a message on the teach pendant stating you need to reboot the controller. Power the controller down and wait for the notification lights on the outside to go "off" then wait an additional 60 seconds before powering back on (approximately 2.5 minutes). If powering back on too soon it can cause damage to the controller's memory. After reboot is complete the data sending process is complete.
