Restarting the Probe

The probe can be restarted by performing a warm start or a cold start. In either case, the probe executes self-tests and re-initializes. There are differences in the effects of each type of restart.

zA warm start resets the probe’s measurement data only.

A cold start resets all of the probe’s measurement data, filters, alarms, and user-defined statistics studies (excluding communications configuration parameters) back to default values.

Warm Start

A warm start resets the probe’s measurement data only. You can warm start the probe by doing one of the following:

zCycling power (or a power outage).

Selecting the menu item Warm start and Exit from the probe’s Main Menu when you have a local terminal connected to the probe, as described in Step

z3 on page 96.

Using NetMetrix to execute a probe warm start. Refer to your NetMetrix documentation for details.

Table 5-1 on page 94 shows which data and parameters are reset during a warm start and during a cold start of a probe.
