   • If you need to use CA certificates, select Save Setup to save directly to the microSD card through BrightAuthor:connected.

   • If you want to save to a microSD card, select Save Setup in BrightAuthor:connected.

   • If you don’t need to use certificates and want to use control.bsn.cloud, you should select Add Setup to Library so you can provision online.
