Reset
The Reset option (accessed from the main menu) allows you to reset the BayStack
350 switch without erasing any configured switch parameters.
Resetting the switch takes approximately 5 seconds to complete. During this time,
the switch initiates a self-test that comprises various diagnostic routines and
subtests. The LEDs display various patterns to indicate that the subtests are in
progress.
The results of the self-test are displayed briefly (5 or 10 seconds) in the Self-Test
screen (Figure 3-40
), which is followed by the Nortel Networks logo screen
(Figure 3-41
).
Note:
The Self-Test screen remains displayed only if the self-test detects a
fatal error.
