Chapter 1 Introduction
DESCRIPTION
A cold start occurs when you turn on the power to the NXC. The NXC powers up,
checks the hardware, and starts the system processes.
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
NXC writes all cached data to the local storage, stops the system processes, and then
does a warm start.
If you press the RESET button, the NXC sets the configuration to its default values
and then reboots.
Clicking Maintenance > Shutdown > Shutdown or using the shutdown command
writes all cached data to the local storage and stops the system processes. Wait for
the device to shut down and then manually turn off or remove the power. It does not
turn off the power.
Power off occurs when you turn off the power to the NXC. The NXC simply turns off. It
does not stop the system processes or write cached data to local storage.
