The Tools tab enables you to reboot, upgrade firmware, and save and restore both configuration and user
database files.
Rebooting the serial console switch
You can reboot the serial console switch using the Tools tab on the Manage Console Switch window.
Clicking the Reboot Console Switch button causes the serial console switch to broadcast a disconnect
message to any active users, then logs out the current user, and immediately reboots the serial console
switch.
IMPORTANT: You must wait a minimum of 60 seconds after powering up to complete the boot cycle
before performing any console switch operations. Attempting to access servers during the boot process
might cause system errors that require a hardware reboot.
To reboot the serial console switch:
1. Select Tools.
2. Click Reboot Serial Console Switch. A reboot warning appears.
