It is, however, worthwhile to point out the differences between shutting down the unit by
interrupting the power supply vs. gracefully shutting it down e.g., via the Web UI.

4.1.3 Issuing the HALT Command Before Removing Power
Gracefully shutting down SecureSync by using the HALT command offers the following
advantages over shutting the unit down by interrupting the power supply:
The shutdown process will be logged
The System Clock will update the Real Time Clock with the latest System Time.
SecureSync's file system will be synchronized, which under some circumstances will
allow for faster startup next time the unit will be powered up.
The HALT command may be issued to the SecureSync via:
the WebUI
the front panel keypad
the front panel serial port.
Note: Wait 30 seconds after entering the HALT command before remov-
ing power.
Once the HALTprocess has been initiated, the front panel display will show halting and
the time display will stop incrementing.
