1.6 Starting and Stopping the NWA

Here are some of the ways to start and stop the NWA.
Always use Maintenance > Shutdown or the shutdown command before
you turn off the NWA or remove the power. Not doing so can cause the

DESCRIPTION
A cold start occurs when you turn on the power to the NWA. The NWA powers up,
checks the hardware, and starts the system processes.
A warm start (without powering down and powering up again) occurs when you use
the Reboot button in the Reboot screen or when you use the reboot command. The
NWA writes all cached data to the local storage, stops the system processes, and then
does a warm start.
If you press the RESET button on the back of the NWA, the NWA sets the
configuration to its default values and then reboots. See
more information.
Clicking Maintenance > Shutdown > Shutdown or using the shutdown command
writes all cached data to the local storage and stops the system processes. Wait for
the device to shut down and then manually turn off or remove the power. It does not
turn off the power.
Power off occurs when you turn off the power to the NWA. The NWA simply turns off.
It does not stop the system processes or write cached data to local storage.
