26 Immediate Actions
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.
Figure 5. Immediate Actions buttons
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
Record Current Configuration .
1. Configuration changes in the DACS are made in the subsystem web pages by clicking
Submit Query
.
This stores the configuration in volatile DRAM (Dynamic RAM) only. Since the Submit Query 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
Record Current Configuration
, all configuration changes will be lost if the power
is recycled. After doing the Record Current Configuration 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
Record Current Configuration
.
Hard Reset (hardReset(2))
This button causes the DACS to perform a cold restart. When you select
Hard Reset
, the DACS requests
confirmation for the execution of this command. Then, the DACS will disconnect all current sessions, re-ini-
tialize 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
a
Hard Reset
.
Note
Set Factory Default Configuration will delete the DACS’s Ether-
net IP address and any other site specific settings made for your par-
ticular installation. You will have to re-enter the DACS’s Ethernet IP
address and netmask using the front panel control port in order to use
the HTTP/HTML Management pages.
