System Maintenance
Warning: DO NOT restore a backup to a duplicate Access Control Server that is connected to
the same network as the original Access Control Server. Restoring a backup will restore the
original Access Control Server‘s IP address (if a static IP address was configured) and the
shared secret. This can result in the second Access Control Server taking control of the Access
Controllers on the network away from the original Access Control Server. Disconnect the
duplicate Access Control Server from the network before restoring the backup, and change its
IP address (and shared secret, if appropriate) before reconnecting it to the network.
Shutting Down and Restarting a System Component
Caution: Restarting an Access Control Server or Integrated Access Manager will log off all clients on all
Access Controllers. Therefore, if possible you should perform these functions during times when few
clients are actively connected to the system.
There are several ways to shut down and restart a 700wl Series system component:
• Through the Administrative Console, via the Shutdown/Restart tab in the Maintenance module
• From the Command Line Interface (see Appendix A, “Command Line Interface” for instructions)
• From the system display panel of the unit itself (see the 700wl Series system Installation and Getting Started
Guide for your equipment for instructions on using the system display panel.
Shutting down and restarting using the Administrative Console is the recommended procedure.
Shutting down by simply powering off the unit using the chassis power button is NOT recommended, as
this may result in corruption of the unit’s configuration information, including the status of any clients
connected to the system when the shutdown occurred.
Caution: You should backup your system configuration and save it to an external file before you
shutdown, restart or reset a system component.
The Shutdown/Restart tab provides several options for shutting down and restarting a system:
• You can perform a system restart, which will shutdown and restart the system. This option does not
power down the hardware, and it always restarts the Installed version of the software.
• You can shutdown the hardware, powering off the unit. After a complete shutdown, you can restart the
unit from the front panel power switch. (See the 700wl Series system Installation and Getting Started Guide
for your equipment for information about the controls on your unit.)
• You can reset the unit to its factory default configuration. This operation does not power down the
hardware, but clears the configuration database and restarts the unit.
To access the shutdown and restart options, do the following:
Step 1. From within the Maintenance module, click the Shutdown/Restart tab.
The Shutdown/Restart page appears, as shown in
Figure 8-12.
Step 2. Select the component you want to shut down or restart from the System Components List at the
left of the page.
The Shutdown/Restart page displays the system uptime for the component you have selected, as
well as buttons to initiate a shutdown, restart, or reset to defaults action.
