Warm Booting the Module
Caution: Some of the commands available to you from this menu are designed for advanced
debugging and system testing only, and can cause the module to stop communicating with the
processor or with other devices, resulting in potential data loss or other failures. Only use these
commands if you are specifically directed to do so by ProSoft Technology Technical Support staff.
Some of these command keys are not listed on the menu, but are active nevertheless. Please be
careful when pressing keys so that you do not accidentally execute an unwanted command.
Press [R] from the Main Menu to warm boot (restart) the module. This command
will cause the program to exit and reload, refreshing configuration parameters
that must be set on program initialization. Only use this command if you must
cause the module to re-boot.

execution.
