Reboot

Reboot performs a warm or cold boot from the touch screen. All Dolphin terminals reboot with keyboard
commands; Reboot offers you the option of using the touch screen instead.

Warm Boot

A warm boot is a soft reset. A soft reset re-boots the device without losing RAM data.

You would perform a soft reset when

• the terminal fails to respond.
• after installing software applications that require a re-boot.
• after making changes to certain system settings, such as network cards.

Cold Boot

A cold boot is a hard reset. A hard reset resets the operating system, restores the terminal back to factory
defaults, and resets the terminal.

A hard reset erases all of the data stored in RAM memory and all RAM installed applications! Only data
and applications stored in

\IPSM

(

/6500

) memory persist.
