5.9 Maintenance
The Maintenance menu is used for the following operations:
 Locking and unlocking the gateway (refer to Section 5.9.1 on page 192)
 Saving the gateway's configuration (refer to Section 5.9.2 on page 193)
 Resetting the gateway (refer to Section 5.9.3 on page 195)
5.9.1 Locking and Unlocking the Gateway
The Lock and Unlock options allow you to lock the gateway so that it does not accept any
new incoming calls. This is beneficial when, for example, you are uploading new software
files to the gateway and you don't want any traffic to interfere with the process.
¾ To lock the gateway, take these 4 steps:
1. Open the ‘Maintenance Actions' screen (Maintenance menu); the ‘Maintenance
Actions' screen is displayed.
Figure 5-68: Maintenance Actions Screen
2. Under the LOCK / UNLOCK group, from the 'Graceful Option' drop-down list, select
one of the following options:
• 'Yes': The gateway is 'locked' only after the user-defined time in the 'Lock
Timeout' field (refer to Step 3) expires or no more active traffic exists (the earliest
thereof). In addition, no new traffic is accepted.
• 'No': The gateway is "locked" regardless of traffic. Any existing traffic is
terminated immediately.
