[Committing Changes]
Whenever you use the configuration program to change system settings, the changes are
initially placed in temporary storage called random access memory or RAM. Your changes are
made effective when you submit them, but can be lost if the device is reset or turned off.
You can commit changes to save them permanently to flash memory.
[Rebooting the Device]
To reboot the device from the Commit & Reboot page, select a reboot mode from the
drop-down menu, and then click Reboot.
You can select from the following reboot options:
„ Reboot is the default setting and reboots using the settings currently in memory,
including any changes you made and committed during the current session
„ Reboot from Default Configuration reboots the device to default settings
provided by your ISP or the manufacturer. Choosing this option erases any custom
settings.
„ Reboot from Backup Configuration reboots the device using the settings that
were in effect prior to the most recently committed settings.
„ Reboot from Last Configuration is the same as the reboot option described
above.
„ Reboot from Clean Configuration reboots the device with no configuration. This
option will disable access to the Configuration Manager, as no LAN interface will be
defined. This option is intended only for technicians who have a serial port
connection to the device and knowledge of its command line interface.

-- An Ethernet interface is configured with IP address
