Shutting down the system

To shut down the system:

1. Start at the Administration menu, and select Utilities > Shutdown System.
   The system displays the Shutdown System page.
2. Enter a number between 0 and 600 in the Wait Time field.
   This time designates how many seconds the system is to wait for calls in progress to finish before stopping the voice system. New calls are prevented immediately regardless of the wait time selected. If any calls are still in progress after this time, they are dropped, and the system proceeds with stopping the voice system. A wait time of zero indicates an indefinite wait time until all current calls are completed.
3. Click Save.
   "Voice system will be stopped first to avoid data loss.
   The voice system is now stopping.
   Initiating request to clear all calls."

   Additional messages might appear as the system shuts down.
   

   Note: The system might display the following:

   "The machine can be safely powered off, after you see the message: "Press any key to reboot."

   Additionally, a Console Login prompt might appear. Do not press any keys at this time.

4. Verify that the system displays the following message:
   "Press any key to reboot."

   When the system displays the above message, the system is completely shut down.
