Tsunami MP.11and MP.11a Installation and Management
REBOOTING AND RESETTING All configuration changes require a restart unless otherwise stated. There are several ways to restart the
MP.11/a, which are described in the following sub-sections.
Applying Changes
Most changes you make become effective only when the MP.11/a is rebooted. A reboot stores
configuration information in non-volatile memory and then restarts the MP.11/a with the new values (see
“Soft Reset to Factory Default” on page 29).
In some cases, the MP.11/a reminds you that a reboot is required for a change to take effect. You need
not reboot immediately; you can reboot after you have made all your changes.
Note: Saving of the MP.11/a configuration occurs only during a controlled reboot or by specifically
issuing the CLI Save command. If you make changes to settings without a controlled reboot
(command) and you have not issued the Save command, a power outage would wipe out all
changes since the last reboot. For example, entering static routes takes effect immediately;
however, the routes are not saved until the unit has gone through a controlled reboot. Proxim
strongly recommends saving your settings immediately when you finish making changes.
Rebooting
When you reboot, the changes you have made become effective and the MP.11/a is restarted. The
changes are saved automatically in non-volatile memory before the actual reboot takes place.
To reboot:
1. Click the Commands button, then the Reboot tab.
2. Click the Reboot button. The MP.11/a restarts the embedded software. During reboot, you are
redirected to a page showing a countdown timer, and you are redirected to the Status page after the
timer counts down to 0 (zero). The CLI is disconnected during reboot. This means that a new telnet
session must be started.
