Situations that require System Reset

A number of AlphaPro settings require that the system is reset or rebooted in order to make the change to take effect.

Types of reset

The AMC-IP card is using Linux as operative system (OS). A number of applications are running on top of Linux. One of these applications is the intercom (AMCd) application. Examples of other applications are SIP, Syslog, RingMaster.
