Restarting the System
When the Compact Engine boots-up it can perform either a warm or cold start.
23.1.1
Warm Start
Every time the system shuts down it stores the current state of all settings so that they can be loaded on boot-up
(known as a warm start).
A warm start is used whenever you power cycle the device to ensure that the device returns to its last known
state if power is cut and then re-applied.
You can also force a warm start by pressing the
RESET
button on the front panel. The button is recessed to
prevent accidental operation.

A warm start will reboot the device. Do
NOT
perform a warm start while live on air!
23.1.2
Cold Start
Alternatively, the system can boot using a cold start. A cold start ignores the warm start data, and resets all
internal logic states and audio parameters to the default values stored in the configuration.
For most systems a cold start can be triggered by
a new configuration onto the device or
its firmware. The exception is the
Nova29
which must be cold started by opening a telnet session.
A cold start will reboot the device. Do
NOT
perform a cold start while live on air!
