11. SYSTEM MANAGEMENT

Introduction

This chapter describes how the Administrator can perform a range of general system administration and configuration tasks on the Console Server, such as:

Applying Soft and Hard Resets to the gateway

Re-flashing the firmware

Configuring the Date, Time and NTP

System administration and configuration tasks covered elsewhere include:

Resetting the System Password and entering a new System Name and Description for the Console Server (Chapter 3.2)

Setting the Console Server’s System IP Address (Chapter 3. 3)

Setting the permitted Services used to access the Console Server (Chapter 3.4)

Setting up OoB Dial-in (Chapter 5)

11.1 System Administration and Reset

The Administrator can reboot or reset the Console Server to default settings.

A soft reset is performed by:

Selecting Reboot in the System: Administration menu and clicking Apply

The Console Server reboots with all settings (e.g., the assigned network IP address) preserved. However this soft reset does disconnect all Users and ends any SSH sessions that had been established.

A soft reset will also be performed when you switch OFF power to the Console Server, and then switch the power back ON. However, if you cycle the power while the unit is writing to flash, you could corrupt or lose data. Therefore, the software reboot is the safer option.

A hard erase (hard reset) is performed by:

Pushing the Erase button on the rear panel twice. A ball point pen or bent paper clip is a suitable tool for performing this procedure. Do not use a graphite pencil. Depress the button gently twice (within a 5 second period) while the unit is powered ON.
