Committing Changes to Permanent Storage
Whenever you change system settings, the changes are initially placed in temporary storage (called
random access memory or RAM). Your changes are made effective when you submit them, but will be lost
if the device is reset or turned off.
Follow these steps to commit changes to permanent storage.
1. Select
Admin
>
Commit & Reboot
. The
Commit & Reboot
page displays.
2. Click
[Save]
. (Disregard the selection in the Reboot Mode drop-down list; it does not affect the
commit process.)
The changes are saved to permanent storage.
When committing your changes, note that:
•
If you change the LAN IP address information, you
must
commit the changes and then reboot the
system to activate them.
•
All other changes are activated when you commit them (no reboot is needed).
Rebooting the device using Configuration Manager
If, after rebooting the device, you find that it does not operate properly with the new configuration, you
can reboot using options that reactivate a previous configuration or the manufacturer’s default
configuration.
You can select from the following options when rebooting:
Setting
Description
Reboot From Default Configuration
Reboots the device to default settings provided by your ISP or the
manufacturer. Choosing this option erases any custom settings.
Reboot From Backup Configuration
Reboots the device using settings stored in backup memory.
These are the settings that were in effect before you committed
new settings in the current session.
Reboot From Last Configuration
Reboots the device using the current settings in permanent
memory, including any changes you just committed.
