3.6.2 Changing the Server Prompt
The prompt each user receives (the Local> prompt) is configurable in a variety of ways. For a basic prompt,
enter a command similar to the following. The resulting prompt is shown on the next line.
Figure 3-6: Configuring User Prompt
Note: The remote console port prompt cannot be changed.
For a customized prompt, the options listed under Set/Define Server Prompt on page 12-76 can be
included in the prompt string. Placing a space after the end of the prompt is recommended, as it makes
reading and editing the command line much easier.
Figure 3-7 displays a few examples of commands used to change prompts. In the examples, the first
command line results in the prompt used in the second command line, and so on.

3.6.3 Rebooting the Server
There are two ways to reboot the ETS: pressing the Reset button while using EZWebCon, or entering the
Initialize command at the Local> prompt.
Options to the Initialize command include rebooting the server, reloading the Flash-ROM code, and
restoring the unit’s factory default settings. The example below shows a simple, immediate reboot. See
Initialize on page 12-14 for more information.
Figure 3-8: Rebooting the Server
If possible, any current user sessions should be logged out before rebooting the ETS. Disconnecting sessions
may prevent connection problems after the ETS is rebooted.
It is courteous to warn users that the server will be “going down;” this can be done using the Broadcast
command. The complete syntax of Broadcast is listed on page 12-4 in the Command Reference.
