System Reboot and System Reset
System Reboot and System Reset commands affect your entire Paragon configuration, that is, if
you perform a System Reset on your Base Unit, the 3rd-tier matrix switch(es) will reset, then the
2nd-tier matrix switch(es) will reset, and finally the Base Unit will reset. Each matrix switch
sends a Ready-to-Reset report to Paragon clients (P2SC, Paragon Manager, UST-IP, etc.) as an
event log.
System Reboot
To reboot your Paragon II from the OSUI, select option 5, System Reboot, from the
Administration Menu, and press Enter.
Figure 66 System Reboot
A message in the message bar asks you to confirm the System Reboot command. You must type
Y-E-S, the complete word ‘Yes,’ and press Enter to confirm, or press Esc to cancel. A “Reset”
message screen appears and remains on-screen while your system reboots. If you have multiple
tiers, the reboot will take slightly longer than if you are rebooting only a single Paragon unit.
