This page contains the Restart and Shutdown buttons.

Restart/ Shutdown

Execute system restart/ shutdown immediately. [Restart] [Shutdown]

Restart: The server has been restarted. This page will automatically try to reconnect to the server after several minutes. If the reconnection fails, it may be due to a change of the server's IP address or name. Please find the proper IP address or name, then manually connect again.

Configure Wake on LAN (This option is not displayed. See note.)
[ ] Enable
[ ] Disable

Note: This option might not display because the hardware does not include that basic feature or because the firmware is faulty and does not detect the feature or because the Web pages are so pathetically bad that the option does not display. The option is in the HTML but it set to not show.

Help information: Wake on LAN Enable this option to power on the NAS remotely by Wake on LAN. Note: The function or its content is only applicable on some specific models.

When the AC power resumes:
(*) Resume the server to the previous power-on or power-off status.
( ) The server should remain off.

Set power on/ power off/ restart schedule

You get options to restart the machine each day plus power down plus power up.
