Cisco SX80 Startup after power loss

[Matthew Knight]

Hi,

A really quick one...

I have a SX80 deployed at a remote location and we've had a few instances where the device has been  inadvertently disconnected from the power.  When the power is returned, the device does not return to operation without someone pressing the power button.

Is there a way to force the device to power up to previous state on power recovery, rather than the off state?

I know it is a simple thing, but it would make my life a bit easier if i didn't have to talk someone through pressing the power button...

I just tested with an SX80 here in the office by unplugging the power cable anywhere from 1-15 minutes, when I plugged it back in, it started right back up without needing to hit the power button.  I can try to leave it unplugged over night and see what happens when I come back the next morning.

Hi

That's the behaviour that I'm after, but the one I have seems to be different...  Unfortunately, i can't see a way to modify the behaviour  Its running 7.3.2 firmware and we TMS to manage it

Unless I'm on the wrong track and someone is pressing the power button off; possible but difficult to verify!

Yes, this is the case.  Not too hard to verify either

If you want to know if someone is hitting the power button, look for the following line in application.log under Diagnostics > Log Files on the SX80.

I just plugged the power cable back into the SX80 I have here in my office, and it immediately started to power up.  It's been unplugged for almost 24 hours.
