Table 11-1. Reset Options
Option Description
1. Node Disconnects the Command Facility and resets the local Multiserver node, all locally
connected channels, and locally attached feeder muxes. Remote Multiservers and feeder
muxes will not be reset by this option. If a port has been configured as sync or reconfigured
from sync to async, or a different clocking rate has been configured, this reset is required
prior to channel configuration. After you select this option, the screen will display the
following:
ENTER A “Y” TO CONFIRM OR “N” TO ABORT:
To terminate and halt the reset process, press N and the screen will return to the Reset
Menu. To continue with the reset, press
Y . This takes you to the Node Menu. The Node
Menu has two options for node reset: factory-default values (cold reset) or current
configuration (warm reset). WARNING: A cold reset (factory-default values) will erase all
non-default configurations for the entire node.
2. Link Clears all information on the link and will disconnect all ports currently using the link. If the
link is a mux link, the feeder mux will also be reset. Force-connected channels will
automatically reestablish connection. After you select this option, the screen will display the
following:
ENTER LINK CHANNEL # (^X TO ABORT):
Enter the channel (port) number for the link being reset, then press <cr> . To terminate
without resetting the link, press ^X .
3. Channel Disconnects and resets a single data or voice/fax channel only. This option permits a reset
function without having to take down the whole system. After you select this option, the
screen will display the following:
ENTER CHANNEL # (^X TO ABORT):
Enter the channel number, then press <cr> . To terminate without resetting the channel,
press ^X .
4. Integral LAN Resets the integral LAN module (LAN Bridge) to either the current configuration or its
default settings. After you select this option, the screen will display the following:
ENTER MODULE LOCATION (B-E) (^X TO ABORT):
Enter the module location for the LAN module, then press <cr> . The Integral LAN Reset
Menu will appear. To terminate without resetting the LAN module, press ^X .
