■If the reboot is scheduled to occur immediately, the router reboots. You cannot access the J-Web interface until the router has restarted and the boot sequence is complete. After the reboot is complete, refresh the browser window to display the J-Web interface login page.

■If the reboot is scheduled to occur in the future, the Reboot page displays the time until reboot. You have the option to cancel the request by clicking Cancel Reboot on the J-Web interface Reboot page.

■If the router is halted, all software processes stop and you can access the router through the console port only. Reboot the router by pressing any key on the keyboard.

NOTE: If you cannot connect to the router through the console port, shut down the router by pressing and holding the power button on the front panel until the POWER LED turns off. After the router has shut down, you can power on the router by pressing the power button again. The POWER LED lights during startup and remains steadily green when the router is operating normally.
