11.6.4 Unit Reset
This section allows you to reset specific parts of the device. This involves
resetting keyboard/mouse, USB, video engine, or the IP-KVM device itself.
In general, the IP-KVM requires a reset when implementing a firmware
update. In the event of an abnormal operation, a number of subsystems
may be reset without resetting the entire IP-KVM.
