Chapter 4: Managing the Modem Using the Console Port & Telnet

REBOOTING THE MODEM

Before you reboot the modem, save configuration changes as described in “Saving the Current Configuration” on page 60.

1From the Main Menu, select Reboot to access the Reboot page.

WARNING - This will reboot without saving configuration

1.Continue

2.Cancel

Select (Return to exit) ->

2Do one of the following:

•Type 1 to Continue the reboot process.

•Type 2 to Cancel the reboot process.

It is unlikely that the modem will lock up (no response to any of your requests through the Web interface and command-line interface). In this rare occurrence, power off the modem by disconnecting the power plug, wait 30 seconds, then reconnect the power. This process allows the modem to properly reset the power and eliminate the possibility of false values in memory. However, please note that the preferred method of rebooting is to access the Reboot page as described in the above procedure.
