Note: server mode setting is also part of this section and does not update itself to match the current setting. For this setting to remain the same it should match what is currently set.

To do that, first check the very top of the page where the current satellite(s) settings are listed and locate the server status column.

If the server status is disabled, set to none. If it's satellite, set to Satellite. If it's enabled, set to Satellite/Web.
