Gateway Reboot
From the administrator point of view two different ways of a reboot
command are of interest. At first there is the need to reboot the gateway
with the current configuration. On the other side there could be the
need to support a configuration data exchange, i.e. to take a configuration
data file from extern or to skip the latest configuration data storage
and take the next older one.
It is in the responsibility of the administrator to coordinate a gateway
reboot!
- Normal reboot of the gateway, using the current configuration data:
reset
- Reset any configuration data to factory defaults and reboot:
reset factory
- Special reboot of the gateway using an existing self-extracting image in order to complete a software download:
activate software
