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.
A warm start resets the probe’s measurement data only.
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:
Cycling power (or a power outage).
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 94.
Using NetMetrix to execute a probe warm start. Refer to your NetMetrix
documentation for details.
Table 5-1 shows which data and parameters are reset during a warm start and
during a cold start of a probe.
