Rebooting The Hub; Reinitializing The Hub - Avocent ESP Serial Hub Installer/User Manual

Rebooting the Hub

The Reboot operation reboots the ESP serial hub. A reboot is usually required for the following
operations to take effect.
• Changing network address values
• Changing any configurable features
• Updating Flash
• Downloading a configuration file
To reboot:
1. From the Main Menu, select Reboot.
2. Click Reboot.
After the reboot completes, the browser will try to reconnect to the hub. If this fails, or if the web
interface does not return within 30 seconds, direct your browser to the ESP serial hub IP address.
You may also reboot the hub using the configuration utility (see Rebooting the Hub on page 51) or
the RESET button on the front panel (see Resetting on page 13).

Reinitializing the Hub

The Initialize operation resets all configurable values to their factory defaults, including the IP
address and password.
To reinitialize:
1. Click Re-initialize from the Main Menu.
2. Click Reinitialize.
After the reinitialization completes, the browser will try to reconnect to the hub, using the
predefined IP address (192.1.1.1). If this fails, or if the web interface does not return within 30
seconds, direct your browser to the predefined IP address.
You may also reinitialize the serial hub using the configuration utility (see Reinitializing the Hub
on page 51) or the INIT button on the front panel (see Reinitializing on page 13).
