The following figure shows how the WAC-1001 stores the setting changes into volatile and non-volatile memory. All data stored in volatile memory will disappear when the WAC-1001 is shutdown or rebooted unless they are saved onto the flash (non-volatile) memory. Because the WAC-1001 starts up and initializes with the settings stored in flash memory, all new changes must be saved to flash memory before restarting the WAC-1001. -
Page 37: Restart
If you made changes recently but did not save, you will be given two options. Clicking the Restart button here will reboot the WAC-1001, and all setting changes will be ignored. Clicking the Save and Restart button will apply all setting changes and then reboot the WAC-1001. -
