Shutdown
Overview
Use this to shutdown the device in preparation for disconnecting the power.
Always use the Maintenance > Shutdown > Shutdown screen or the “shutdown” command before you turn off the Zyxel Device or remove the power.
Shutdown writes all cached data to the local storage and stops the system processes.
The following table describes the labels in this screen.
