Tsunami MP.11 Installation and Management

REBOOTING AND RESETTING

Some configuration changes require a restart. There are several ways to restart the MP.11, which are described in the following sub-sections.

Applying Changes

Some changes you make become effective only when the MP.11 is rebooted. A reboot stores configuration information in non-volatile memory and then restarts the MP.11 with the new values (see “Soft Reset to Factory Default” on page 26).

In some cases, the MP.11 reminds you that a reboot is required for a change to take effect. You do not must reboot immediately; you can reboot after you have made all your changes.

Rebooting

When you reboot, the changes you have made become effective and the MP.11 is restarted. The changes are saved automatically in non-volatile memory before the actual reboot takes place.

To reboot:

1.Click Commands Î Reboot.

2.Enter the number of seconds to wait before the reboot actually takes place.

3.Click the Reboot button. The MP.11 restarts the embedded software after the entered time has passed. During reboot, you are redirected to a page showing a counting down timer, and you are redirected to the Status page after the timer counts down to 0 (zero). The CLI is disconnected during reboot.

Related CLI command: reboot <number of seconds>

Resetting Hardware

If the MP.11 does not respond for some reason and you are not able to reboot, you can restart by means of a hardware reset. This restarts the MP.11 hardware and embedded software. The last saved configuration is used. The MP.11 automatically saves its configuration every two minutes. Any changes that you have made in the meantime are lost.

To reset the hardware, press and release the RESET button on the MP.11 unit with, for example, a pencil.
