Note
If you make changes to the configuration and restart immediately afterwards with the

command "System > Restart") or using the CLI (command "restart" in the Privileged
EXEC Modus), the configuration changes are always retained.

unsuccessful, the reset button can be used to load new firmware. This situation can occur
if there is a power outage during the normal firmware update. You will find more
information in the section "Troubleshooting/FAQ" in the SCALANCE W700 WBM
configuration manual.
