Basic Operations
15.1.
Starting Up the Unit
Connect the unit to the power supply as described in Power supply. Once the unit is powered, it will
start up. The
Vigilant
has a start-up period of several seconds. This time can vary from 10 to 15
seconds.
The power led is used to indicate the status of the
Vigilant
during the start-up. During start-up, the
status indicator will be turned on with a solid red color. After the start-up period the indicator turns
into solid green, meaning the device start-up is completed successfully.
In case the power led keeps on red color that means the system presents a problem.
See Troubleshooting.
15.2.
Powering off the unit
Switch off the power supply or remove the power connector to shut down the system.
The
Vigilant
includes a battery that will make the system to shut down properly.
When the
Vigilant
detects a loss in the power supply, it automatically initiates its shutdown. After it is
down if power supply comes back the unit will start up again. In case the power supply comes back
during the shutting down the process will continue until it is down, remaining in this condition for 1
minute. After that period, the unit will start up again.
