System Reset

The System Reset page (accessible under the main menu item Receiver Configuration) can be used to restart the NetRS, as if it was powered off and back on. Optionally the Ephemeris and Almanac data collected from GPS satellites can be erased prior to the reset. These features are primarily useful for diagnostic testing, and should not be required during normal operation.

Regardless of which form of reset is requested, the full shutdown and restart can take a few minutes. If left alone, your web browser should automatically switch to the Receiver Status - Identity page after approximately three minutes. During this interval, it will not be possible to communicate with the NetRS, and attempts to access the NetRS web browser interface will fail, probably with warning messages.

Note that the process of restarting the NetRS receiver will interrupt all data logging sessions and streaming outputs. Data logging will automatically resume after the restart, as will streaming outputs over serial ports. Other types of output, such as TCP or UDP streams will probably need to be re-established by the client programs running on external systems.

If the ephemeris and almanac data are cleared, the NetRS may take slightly longer to acquire satellite signals. There may also be a delay before producing valid position fixes, due to the need to collect new data from the GPS satellites.
