User's Manual 40. Basic Maintenance
40.3 Locking and Unlocking the Device
You can lock the device so that it doesn't accept any new calls, maintaining only current
calls. This may be useful, for example, when uploading new software files to the device
and you don't want any traffic to interfere with the process.
To lock the device:
1. Open the Maintenance Actions page:
• Toolbar: Click the Reset button.
• Navigation tree: Setup menu > Administration tab > Maintenance folder >
Maintenance Actions.
Figure 40-3: Locking and Unlocking the Device
2. From the 'Graceful Option' drop-down list, select one of the following options:
• Yes: The device is locked only after a user-defined time, configured in the 'Lock
Timeout' field (see next step). During this interval, no new traffic is accepted. If no
traffic exists and the time has not yet expired, the device locks immediately.
• No: The device is locked regardless of traffic. Any existing traffic is terminated
immediately.
Note: These options are available only if the current status of the device is in
"UNLOCKED" state.
3. If you configured 'Graceful Option' to Yes (see previous step), then in the 'Lock
Timeout' field, enter the time (in seconds) after which the device locks.
4. Click the LOCK button; a confirmation message box appears requesting you to
confirm device lock.
5. Click OK to confirm; if you configured 'Graceful Option' to Yes, a lock icon is displayed
and a window appears displaying the number of remaining calls and time. If you
configured 'Graceful Option' to No, the lock process begins immediately. The
'Gateway Operational State' read-only field displays "LOCKED" and the device does
not process any calls.
To unlock the device:
Click the UNLOCK button; the device unlocks immediately and accepts new incoming
calls. The 'Gateway Operational State' read-only field displays "UNLOCKED".
