This section describes basic maintenance.

Resetting the Device

You can reset the device through the device's management tools. Device reset may be required for
maintenance purposes. Certain parameters require a device reset for their settings to take effect.
These parameters are displayed in the Web interface with the lightning
whenever you do any configuration change that requires a reset, the Reset button on the Web
interface's toolbar is displayed with a red border, as shown below:
The Web interface also provides you with the following options when resetting the device:
■ Save current configuration to the device's flash memory (non-volatile) prior to reset
■ Reset the device only after a user-defined time (Graceful Shutdown) to allow current calls to
end (calls are terminated after this interval)
To reset the device (and save configuration to flash) through CLI, use the following command:
# reset now
➢
To reset the device through Web interface:
1. Open the Maintenance Actions page:
● Toolbar: Click the Reset button.
● Navigation tree: Setup menu > Administration tab > Maintenance folder > Maintenance
Actions.
2. From the 'Save To Flash' drop-down list, select one of the following:
● Yes: Current configuration is saved (burned) to flash memory prior to reset (default).
● No: The device resets without saving the current configuration to flash. All configuration
done after the last configuration save will be discarded (lost) after reset.
3. From the 'Graceful Option' drop-down list, select one of the following:
● Yes: Reset starts only after a user-defined time, configured in the 'Shutdown Timeout' field
(see next step). During this interval, no new traffic is accepted. If no traffic exists and the
time has not yet expired, the device resets immediately.
● No: Reset begins immediately, regardless of traffic. Any existing traffic is immediately
terminated.
4. In the 'Shutdown Timeout' field (available only if the 'Graceful Option' field is configured to
Yes), enter the time after which the device resets. Note that if no traffic exists and the time has
not yet expired, the device resets.
5. Click the Reset button; a confirmation message box appears, requesting you to confirm.
