5.3.2 Module control
The following commands are applied to the selected HYDRA. Please refer to section 5.2.5 Wall Control for an instruc-
tion how all H
YDRA devices of a wall can be controlled.
Halt module
With the Halt module command the selected H
YDRAS can be halted. A warning dialog appears. After confirming
this dialog the shutdown screen is displayed while halting. When halted the display is just black and the H
YDRA
can be switched off.
Reboot module
The Reboot module command halts the selected H
YDRA and reboots it. This includes a reset of the software and
all hardware components. The warning dialog must be confirmed, before the H
YDRA is rebooted.
The command must be applied after changes of Name or Wallname within the dialog
5.3.4 Setup module to make
them become effective. If changes have been made for multiple modules, it is sufficient to use once the com-
mand Reboot wall to reboot all H
YDRA devices of the wall instead.
Be aware that the connection between the GUI and a Hydra module is interrupted while
rebooting. If you connected the GUI to the Hydra that is currently rebooted, you will have to
connect anew to the Hydra when the wall has rebooted!
Reset module
The Reset module command resets the software and all hardware components of the selected H
YDRA except the
single board computer. The warning dialog must be confirmed, before the H
YDRA is reset. If changes have been
made for multiple modules, it is sufficient to use once the command Reset wall to reset all H
YDRA devices in-
stead.
Reset Software (Module)
The Reset Software (Wall) command resets the software of the selected H
YDRA. During the software reset, the
module keeps on displaying its part on the display wall.
The command must be applied after changes to make them become effective. The following changes are con-
cerned:
• changed content of the folders logo and anim, please refer to section
8.1 Data structure and data access (reset
software is required to update the file lists, e.g. when selecting the logo of a logo object,
• for some NTP synchronization operations, please see section
5.2.7 Time setup.
If changes have been made for multiple modules, it is sufficient to use once the command Reset software
(Wall) for all H
YDRA modules instead.
