If you select the N, you will be returned to the Set Server Name screen. If you select the Y, the VR-N100U will reboot.
The LCD Panel will keep you informed about what is happening. Only when you reboot the system will the new
addresses and Server Name go into effect.
6.5.6. Rebooting
VR-N100U supports 3 types of reboots and they can be executed from the LCD Display.

Types of Reboots

When your system is operating normally, the LCD Panel will display the Server Name and the IP address, the Steady
State Display. If you want to reboot the system, simply depress the Enter key. You will be prompted for the admin
password. Use the Up and Down arrow keys to cycle through the numbers, letters and the dash to spell out the
password. This screen did not display the first time you started up the system. The Password entry screen does not
display until after you have setup your system in the VR-N100U Web browser interface. It will display from that point
on whenever you press the Enter key. Depress the Enter key repeatedly to accept the password and advance to the
Network Setup screen.

Depress the Down key to move through the screens until the Reboot... screen displays. Depress the Enter key. The
first of the Reboot Type screens displays. There are three kinds of reboots you can perform. A Normal Reboot just
reboots the system. A Factory Defaults Reboot resets all configurable VR-N100U functions to their original, fresh-
from-the-factory settings. The contents of the VR-N100U Users List and the Groups List are lost. The Server Name
and all defined Volume Sets are also lost when a reset-to-defaults reboot is selected. A Power Off Reboot will power
down your system using a managed, controlled process designed to protect the system's equipment prior to power
off. The Status light will remain solid red, indicating the VR-N100U can be powered off. Turn the power switch to the
Off position, or unplug the power cord from the outlet. Do not remove the power cord from the system to power it off.
Use the Down key to cycle through the different reboot choices until you get to the one you want. Use the Enter key
to select your choice of Reboot, select the Y on the confirmation screen and depress the Enter key to begin the
Reboot. The LCD Panel will display progress messages regarding the state of the reboot.
6.5.7. View Events
The last LCD Panel option is View Events. Depress the Enter key to display the Password screen. Enter your admin password
using the Up and Down keys to display the characters and numbers in the password. Depress the Enter key to accept the
password and display the Network Settings screen. Depress the Down key to cycle to the View Events screen. The current
event will scroll across the screen (the LCD Panel is reading this from the Event Log in the System Utilities). Use the Up and
Down keys to view the other events recorded in the Event Log.
6.5.8. Manual Reboot Status
If the VR-N100U is manually rebooted, the Status LED is the only indicator light that is of concern. The chart below provides
a summary of this information:
LED
Status
If the VR-N100U's Status LED begins flashing red during a reboot, it indicates a hardware failure on the VR-N100U board.
Hardware failures, if they exist, are detected during the power-on self-test and include the following:
Boot RAM failure
