How to soft reset or reboot The Administrator can reboot and retain all custom settings, or hard reset the Opengear console server to default settings. A reboot or soft reset is affected by selecting Reboot in the Management Console System: Administration menu and clicking Apply. The Opengear console server will reboot with all settings (such as 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 affected when you switch OFF power from the console server, and then switch the power back ON. However if you cycle the power and the unit is writing to flash you could corrupt or lose data so the software reboot is the safe option. 
The Management Console uses the busybox reboot command to shutdown the system and the Linux kernel securely and safely, and then bring it back up. So you can also reboot or soft reset the console server from the command line by entering reboot [-d] where -d is the delay interval for rebooting. You can also hard reset the console server back to its factory default settings by performing a hard erase. To affect this, you depress the Erase switch on the rear panel twice within a five second period. This hard erase removes all custom settings and resets the unit back to the factory default setting (refer faq 230). |
