Use the Devices tab to restart a single device or multiple devices. The tab lets you restart devices that support Timed Restart as well as those devices that do not. Timed Restart lets you configure your restart operation with a time delay, so that the actual device restarts take place at a later time.
To restart a device:
- Access the Network > Devices tab.
- Use the left-panel drop-down list to select All Devices, Maps, or Sites, depending on the devices you are restarting. You can also use the drop-down list to select how the devices are organized (e.g. by IP address, by Device Type).
- Select the Devices tab in the right-panel.
- Select the device or devices you want to restart (using the Ctrl or Shift keys).
- Select the Menu icon (
) or right-click in the Devices list. - Select More Actions > Restart Device.
NOTE: You can also right-click a single device in the left-panel and select More Actions > Restart Device.
The Restart Devices window displays. - Select the devices you want to restart by selecting the checkbox in the Selected column.
NOTE: The Restart Devices window contains additional fields for devices that support timed restart. - Select the date and time you want to restart the device for devices that support timed restart using the Restart Time fields. This field defaults to the current date and time, so to restart the devices now, do not change this field.
- Select Start to initiate the device restarts or to schedule a future device restart. Elapsed Time displays the elapsed time since beginning the restart process.
- Select Finish to close the window.
