Restarting the Probe
The LanProbe 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 LanProbe’s measurement data only.
A cold start resets all of LanProbe’s measurement data, filters, alarms, and
user-defined statistics studies (excluding communications configuration
parameters) back to default values.
Warm Start
A warm start resets LanProbe’s measurement data only. You can warm start
LanProbe by doing one of the following:
Cycling power (or a power outage).
Selecting the menu item
Warm start and Exit
from LanProbe’s Main Menu
when you have a local terminal connected to the probe, as described in Step
3 on page 74.
Using Agilent NetMetrix to execute a LanProbe warm start. Refer to your
NetMetrix documentation for details.
Table 5-6 on page 72 shows which data and parameters are reset during a warm
start and during a cold start of a LanProbe.
