You can use the Device Restart function of the eCommission SmartX Controllers mobile application to perform a restart of the SmartX IP controller. Two types of restart are possible, Warm Restart and Cold Restart . Most of the actions performed by these restart types are the same, except one:

  • Actions common to both types:

    • The restart instructs a BACnet device to to reboot itself.

    • The device retains all configuration data.

    • Retention of run-time data, including values, is dependent on the default or user-defined retention configuration.

    • Trend data is restored, following the restart.

  • Actions that differ between the two types:

    • Warm Restart - Activates any pending changes to the network settings, such as IP assignment and IP address.

    • Cold Restart - Does not activate any pending changes to the network settings.
