Totally disconnect/reconnect TG582 using RouterStats
If you just want to do a quick disconnect/reconnect without losing sync using the Disconnect/Reconnect buttons on the Router interface is fine.
To be absolutely safe if doing something that will lose sync with the exchange telling the router to drop sync first is a good idea. Normally to do this you have to go in to telnet on the router which can be a little scary.
If you are using RouterStats to monitor your noise margin and sync speed there is an easy way. You can create scripts which can be run from RouterStats to do the job for you:
In the directory where you have installed RouterStats, using a text editor such as notepad, create two files DropSync.sh and RaiseSync.sh with contents as follows:
DropSync.sh
RaiseSync.sh
To run the scripts, in RouterStats go to the Summary tab. At the top right click the Send telnet script to router button (it has an icon that looks like a piece of paper with a red arrow superimposed). Select and open the script you want to run and then click Execute.
When you've done a disconnect using the DropSync.sh script you don't need to wait for a minute before unplugging or powering down the router. When everything is done execute the RaiseSync.sh script.
As always the recommendations are:
This method is to help stop the Exchange DLM from thinking your sync loss was a dropped connection.

As always the recommendations are:
- stay offline for at least 10 minutes
- don't do this more than 5 times in an hour
- leave it for the rest of the day

Right I give up. I can't simulate Jim's on mine
The clue was in the title of this topic!
I've no idea what might be possible on others!

I suppose I expected the RouterStats GUI to be the same regardless of the router it is accessing, just the displayed data to vary.
Live and learn.

Not everything is the same for all variants of the DG834, never mind other makes!
