Basic Management Tsunami MP.11 5012-SUR Installation and Management

Rebooting and Resetting

All configuration changes require a restart unless otherwise stated. New features explicitly state whether a reboot is

required or not. You can restart the unit with the Reboot command; see the first method described in the following sub-

sections.

Most changes you make become effective only when the 5012-SUR is rebooted. A reboot stores configuration

information in non-volatile memory and then restarts the 5012-SUR with the new values (see Soft Reset to Factory

Default).

In some cases, the 5012-SUR 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 unit’s 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 5012-SUR is restarted. The changes are saved

automatically in non-volatile memory before the actual reboot takes place.

To reboot, click Commands > Reboot. Click the Reboot button. The 5012-SUR 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.

Resetting Hardware

If the unit 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 hardware and embedded software. The last saved configuration is used. Any changes that you

have made since then are lost.

To reset the hardware, press and release the Reset button in the 5012-SUR’s cable compartment unit with, for example,

a paper clip.
