Shutdown

Revision as of 16:25, 16 August 2010

The TMG8300, TMG3200 and the TMG800 are included with an embedded linux host. Therefore it is essential to shutdown the TMG units properly. Not doing so may result in a file system corruption.

Shutdown the TMG unit properly

WARNING: DO NOT TURN OFF the power to the TMG unit using the power switch located at the rear, unless the Linux host has been properly shut down beforehand, using the reset button display, or manually using the shutdown shell command. Allow enough time for the Linux host to shut down before turning the power to the TMG unit off (e.g. 2-3 mins). Be aware that the shutdown procedure of the unit is logged and traceable for support and warranty purposes.

• Connect to the TMG unit through ssh

• Enter the shutdown command

   shutdown -h now

• Allow 2-3 minutes for the Linux host to shutdown entirely
