The reboot system function restarts the device. Some functions may require the device to
be rebooted before the changes take effect.
To reboot the device select Reboot System from the menu. The screen will show the
page in the figure below.
Click on the Reboot button to restart the device.
The firmware is reloaded and all interface ports are initialized using the data stored in the
configuration file. The reboot procedure will be required after uploading a login page, for
example. Each command will indicate if the unit should be rebooted on completion of the
command so that the command takes effect.
When the device has been rebooted there will be a pause of approximately three minutes
before it becomes functional again. This process is the same as cycling the power to the
device.
The reboot page also has a drop down menu for ‘set auto reboot’. The drop down menu
permits a time to be selected to reboot the device each day (see the next page).
The auto-reboot should be selected for a time of day when no one will be using the
hotspot, for example 3AM.
The auto reboot is very useful to release resources allocated by users. For example, IP’s
will be allocated and will only expire after the termination of the IP lease time. The auto
reboot forces the release of IP leases to free up resources for new users. This feature is
very useful for a hotel environment.
