Figure 29. Operator Actions buttons
From the Home page, the following actions can be performed:
•Record Current Configuration—clicking on this button (see figure 29) saves the current configuration from volatile DRAM memory to FLASH memory. Once the configuration is saved into FLASH memory, the configuration will not be lost even if the power is cycled on the 6511RC. Initially, changes made to the 6511RC configuration are stored in volatile DRAM, enabling the user to set the box up with a working configuration before committing it to storage in FLASH. When you select Record Current Configuration, the 6511RC stores your changes to FLASH memory.
Note If you want to save the configuration changes that you have made, you must click on Record Current Configuration, otherwise all con- figuration changes will be lost if the power to the Model 6511RC is turned off.
•Hard Reset—this button (see figure 29) causes the Model 6511RC to perform a cold restart. When you select Hard Reset, the Matrix Switch confirms that you want to execute this command. Then, the Matrix Switch will disconnect all current sessions, re-initialize the interfaces, and re-load configuration parameters from FLASH.
•Set Factory Default Configuration—this button (see figure 29) clears out the configuration in FLASH and loads the factory default parameters into FLASH memory. The factory default settings will not execute on the Model 6511RC until it is re-booted by doing a Hard Reset.
Note Set Factory Default Configuration (figure 29) will delete the Model 6511RC’s Ethernet IP address, any routing information, and any other site-specific configuration changes made for your particular installation. You will have to re-enter the Model 6511RC’s Ethernet IP address and netmask using the front-panel control port in order to gain access the HTTP/HTML Management pages again.
