Always use Maintenance > Shutdown or the shutdown command before
you turn off the NWA or remove the power. Not doing so can cause the
firmware to become corrupt.
Table 4 Starting and Stopping the NWA
METHOD DESCRIPTION
Turning on the power 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.
Rebooting the NWA 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.
Using the RESET If you press the RESET button on the back of the NWA, the NWA sets the
button configuration to its default values and then reboots. See
more information.
