Title: Reboot, possible ?
Post by: lox on December 04, 2015, 07:32:29 PM
I have looked all around in the menus.

Is it possible to reboot the classic ?
No app can connect on ModBus over ethernet anymore ....

The ARST setting reboots the Classic at 23:59 every day. Can also be done from the Local App.

If it a connection problem you might try reboot you local router and switches to see if that might help. Also newest firmware is suppose to help with these connections issue.

Yeah what RH said and in addition to that, just go to TWEAKS and  turn on ARST (auto reset at midnight) and
then go to the LOGS menu, DAILY and force a new day by holding down the LEFT-ARROW key and holding
down the ENTER key for a second or two.  It should reboot after a few seconds because it thinks it is midnight
and a new day. It should also display  "NEW DAY" when you hold those two buttons down.

Also, if you do NOT press ENTER when turning ON ARST in TWEAKS, it will not save to EEPROM and so the Classic
will not remember that setting.  That's if you just want the Classic to reset this one time and not have to go
back into TWEAKS and turn the ARST off again after it rebooted.
