Immediate Actions
There are several immediate actions (see figure 5) in superuser mode which will cause the DACS to operate
according to the descriptions in the following sections.

Record Current Configuration (storeConfig(1))
This feature saves the current configuration in permanent FLASH memory. In other words, configuration
changes made in the subsystem web pages become permanent when you select
.
1. Configuration changes in the DACS are made in the subsystem web pages by clicking .
This stores the configuration in volatile DRAM (Dynamic RAM) only. Since the changes
take immediate effect, the administrator can test different configuration parameters without needing to
change the FLASH configuration at this moment.
2. Without clicking on , all configuration changes will be lost if the power
is recycled. After doing the save, the current configuration of the DACS
will not be lost with power cycling.
Note
The most important step after completing the configuration is to save it in
permanent memory by clicking on
.
Hard Reset (hardReset(2))
This button causes the DACS to perform a cold restart. When you select , the DACS requests con-
firmation for the execution of this command. Then, the DACS will disconnect all current sessions, re-initialize
the interfaces, and re-load configuration parameters from FLASH.
Set Factory Default Configuration (forceDefaultConfig(3))
This button clears out the configuration in FLASH and loads the factory default parameters into FLASH
memory. The factory default settings will not execute on the DACS until it is re-booted, for example by doing

the HTTP/HTML Management pages.
