Chapter 4. Basic Management 34
Note: Saving of the unit’s configuration occurs only during a controlled reboot or by specifically issuing the CLI
Save command. If you make changes to settings without a controlled reboot (command) and you have
not issued the Save command, a power outage would wipe out all changes since the last reboot.
For example, entering static routes takes effect immediately; however, the routes are not saved until the
unit has gone through a controlled reboot. Proxim strongly recommends saving your settings immediately
when you finish making changes.
Rebooting
When you reboot, the changes you have made become effective and the unit is restarted. The changes are
saved automatically in non-volatile memory before the actual reboot takes place.
To reboot, click the Commands button, then the Reboot tab. Click the Reboot button. The unit restarts the
embedded software. During reboot, you are redirected to a page showing a countdown timer, and you are
redirected to the Status page after the timer counts down to 0 (zero). The CLI is disconnected during reboot.
This means that a new telnet session must be started.
Resetting Hardware
If the unit does not respond for some reason and you are not able to reboot, you can restart by means of a
hardware reset. This restarts the hardware and embedded software. The last saved configuration is used. Any
changes that you have made since then are lost.
To reset the hardware, unplug the unit’s power supply and then reconnect power to the unit.
Soft Reset to Factory Default
If necessary, you can reset the unit to the factory default settings. This must be done only when you are
experiencing problems. Resetting to the default settings requires reconfiguration of the unit.
To reset to factory default settings:
1. Click the Commands button, then the Reset tab.
2. Click the Reset to Factory Default button; the device configuration parameter values are reset to their
factory default values.
If you do not have access to the unit, you can use the procedure described in “Hard Reset to Factory Default”
on
page 121 as an alternative.
