The Diagnostics Tab

The

Diagnostics

tab will provide a range of diagnostic aids.

Currently, it provides two diagnostic facilities:

Reboot:

click this button to reboot the unit as if it had been turned off and on again. (This

operation takes several minutes)

Rebooting halts all operations on the device and starts the boot process in the same manner as
when the power is cycled. Save any configuration changes prior to rebooting the unit. Unsaved
changes will be lost.
