Figure 31 System Setup > Firmware Upgrade

The table below describes the labels in the System Setup > Firmware Upgrade screen.

4.7.3 Reboot System

Click Reboot in this screen to turn off the WPA-1000 and perform a software restart. You need
to restart the WPA-1000 when you make certain configuration changes to it and you want to
apply the changes. A software restart is faster than turning the WPA-1000 off and then turning
it on again. Before shutting down or restarting, make sure that no one is connected to the
WPA-1000.
