Restarting the Probe
The probe can be restarted by performing a warm start or a cold start. In either
case, the probe executes self-tests and re-initializes. There are differences in the
effects of each type of restart.
z A warm start resets the probe’s measurement data only.
z A cold start resets all of the probe’s measurement data, filters, alarms, and
user-defined statistics studies (excluding communications configuration
parameters) back to default values.
Warm Start
A warm start resets the probe’s measurement data only. You can warm start the
probe by doing one of the following:
z Cycling power (or a power outage).
z Selecting the menu item Warm start and Exit from the probe’s Main Menu
when you have a local terminal connected to the probe, as described in Step
3 on page 96.
z Using NetMetrix to execute a probe warm start. Refer to your NetMetrix
documentation for details.
Table 5-1 on page 94 shows which data and parameters are reset during a warm
start and during a cold start of a probe.
