Is the status of the unit
limited by the status of
the device or equipment
to which it is attached
(that is, Server, router,
firewall, load balancer, or
other network device)?
No, because the unit is a totally "out of band" solution that runs on its own
dedicated microprocessor.
Even if the target devices to which the Dominion SX is attached are turned
off, you will still be able to access the unit.
Can I reset the unit
without losing my
settings?
Click Maintenance > Reboot to reset the system.
