  • Log Level Change - Satori engineer may also require that you change the log level for one of the modules, the log level will reset itself to the default state.
  • Configuration Reload - In the event that the Satori DAC detects an invalid configuration via the Satori Management Console, Satori will maintain the last valid configuration and not update to a newer version. The interface allows you to restore the DAC update mechanism, >

The Configuration Reload operation should only be performed once the Satori engineer has solved the problem that caused the DAC to stop accepting new configurations.
