System Shutdown

Last Updated : Oct 08, 2024 |

This command can be used to shutdown IP500 V2 systems. The shut down can be either indefinite or for a set period of time after which the system will reboot. For Linux based systems, use the service commands in IP Office Web Manager

  • This command is not shown when SE Central Access is enabled.

Warning:
  • A shutdown must always be used to switch off the system. Simply removing the power cord or switching off the power input may cause the loss of configuration data.

  • This is not a polite shutdown, any user calls and services in operation will be stopped. Once shutdown, the system cannot be used to make or receive any calls until restarted.

The shutdown process takes up to a minute to complete. When shutting down a system with a Unified Communications Module installed, the shutdown can take up to 3 minutes while the module safely closes all open files and closes down its operating system. During this period the module's LED 1 remains green.

  • LED1 on each IP500 base card installed will also flash red rapidly plus LED 9 if a trunk daughter card is fitted to the base card.

  • The CPU LED on the rear of the system will flash red rapidly.

  • The System SD and Optional SD memory card LEDs on the rear of the system are extinguished.

To restart a system when shutdown indefinitely, or to restart a system before the timed restart, switch power to the system off and on again.

Once you have selected the system from the Select IP Office window, the System Shutdown Mode window opens. Select the type of shutdown required:

  • If a Timed shutdown is selected, the system will reboot after the set time has elapsed.

  • If Indefinite is used, the system can only be restarted by having its power switched off and then on again. For Linux based telephone systems, the telephony service must be restarted through the server's web control pages.
