There are several immediate actions (see figure 5) which, when in superuser mode, will cause the access server
to operate according to the descriptions in the following sections.

•
Record Current Configuration
—clicking this button causes the current configuration to be stored in
FLASH memory. Any changes made to the access server configuration are stored in non-volatile RAM. This
allows the user to set the box up with a running configuration before committing it to FLASH. Configura
-
tion changes become permanent when you select
Record Current Configuration
. You will lose all changes
not stored to FLASH the next time the access server is re-booted.
•
Hard Reset
—this button causes the access server to perform a cold restart. When you select
Hard Reset
, the
access server confirm that you want to execute this command. Then, the access server will disconnect all
current sessions, re-initialize the interfaces, and re-load configuration parameters from FLASH.
•
Set Factory Default Configuration
—this button clears out the configuration in FLASH and loads the fac-
tory default parameters into FLASH memory. The factory default settings will not execute on the access
server until it is re-booted.
Note Set Factory Default Configuration
will delete any routing information, the
access server’s Ethernet IP address, and any other site specific settings made
for your particular installation. You will have to re-enter the access server’s
Ethernet IP address and netmask using the front panel control port in order
to use the HTTP/HTML Management pages.
