Getting Started Rebooting

By default, the SCS prompt changes from Local> to Local>> to reflect privileged user status.
2.1.3.4 Abbreviating Commands
When configuring the Server via the command line, you only need to enter as many characters as are needed
to distinguish the keywords from one another. For example, the following two commands are equivalent:
Figure 2-3: Abbreviating a Command
An abbreviation must be unique to the desired command. For example, if autoconnect was abbreviated as
auto, that auto could denote autobaud, autostart, or autoconnect. Be sure that any abbreviations are
unambiguous, such as autoc in the example above.
2.2 Rebooting
There are four ways to reboot the SCS:
◆ From within EZWebCon, select Reboot from the Actions menu.
◆ From the Server section of the web browser interface, check the Reboot Server checkbox. Then,
click the Update Server Settings button at the bottom of the page.
◆ At the Local> prompt, issue the Initialize Server command.
◆ Cycle power to the unit.
When the SCS is rebooted, any changes made using Set commands will be lost. To ensure that the changes
will be saved, use Define commands, or use the Save command after the Set command.
Before rebooting the SCS, log out any current user sessions (if possible). Disconnecting sessions may
prevent connection problems after the SCS is rebooted. If possible, warn users that the SCS will be going
offline by sending a Broadcast message.
2.2.1 Sending a Broadcast Message
Broadcast messages are sent to local users, but not remote networking users. Broadcasts can be sent to all
Server ports with the following command.
Figure 2-4: Broadcast Command
2.2.2 Restoring Factory Defaults
Restoring factory default settings will erase all changes made since the SCS was shipped; the unit will
function as if it just came out of the box. To restore factory defaults, enter the Initialize Server Factory
command at the Local> prompt.
