3To restore all appliances in the Appliances view, enter a single asterisk in the Filter Appliances window and then click OK.

Rebooting Appliances

Appliances must be rebooted for some configuration changes to take effect, and after installing a software update. Because rebooting interrupts the security policies running on the appliance, carefully consider the best time to reboot the appliances.

CAUTION

Rebooting halts operations on the EncrypTight appliance and interrupts the data traffic on its local and remote ports. Rebooting takes several minutes. During this time all traffic is discarded.

To reboot appliances:

1In the Appliance Manager, select the target appliances in the Appliances view.

2On the Tools menu, click Reboot.

3Click OK to confirm that you want to reboot the selected appliances.

To check the status of an appliance following a reboot, select the appliance and click Refresh . The status indicator displays the current state of the appliance.
