Model 6081RC Network Access Server Getting Started Guide
3 • Initial configuration of the Model 6081RC
changes to the system configuration. Unlike the Configuration Menu pane, which appears the same no matter
which subsystem page you may select, the Configuration/information pane contents will change as you move
from one subsystem page to another.
Figure 18. Immediate Actions buttons
From the
Home
page, the following actions can be performed:
•
Record Current Configuration
—clicking on this button (see
figure 18
) saves the current configuration
from volatile DRAM memory to FLASH memory. Once the configuration is saved into FLASH memory,
the configuration will not be lost even if the power is cycled on the 6081RC. Initially, changes made to the
6081RC configuration are stored in volatile DRAM, enabling the user to set the box up with a working
configuration before committing it to storage in FLASH. When you select
Record Current Configuration
,
the 6081RC stores your changes to FLASH memory.
Note
If you want to save the configuration changes that you have made,
you must click on
Record Current Configuration
, otherwise all con-
figuration changes will be lost if the power to the Model 6081RC is
turned off.
•
Hard Reset
—this button (see
figure 18
on page 38) causes the Model 6081RC to perform a cold restart.
When you select
Hard Reset
, the Network Access Router confirms that you want to execute this command.
Then, the Network Access Router will disconnect all current sessions, re-initialize the interfaces, and re-load
configuration parameters from FLASH.
•
Set Factory Default Configuration
—this button (see
figure 18
on page 38) clears out the configuration in
FLASH and loads the factory default parameters into FLASH memory. The factory default settings will not
execute on the Model 6081RC until it is re-booted by doing a Hard Reset.
Note
Set Factory Default Configuration
(
figure 18
on page 38) will delete
any routing information, the Model 6081RC’s Ethernet IP address,
and any other site-specific settings made for your particular installa-
tion. You will have to re-enter the Model 6081RC’s Ethernet IP
address and netmask using the CONFIG port before using the
HTTP/HTML Management pages.
