Restarting a router I/O in MediaConnect
You can manually restart your router I/Os in MediaConnect when you need to perform maintenance or system updates. MediaConnect automatically performs maintenance restarts every 60-66 days from the initial start date. However, manual restarts give you additional flexibility to manage your router I/Os on your own schedule.
Note
Restarting a router I/O also applies any pending maintenance updates and resets the maintenance countdown. For more information about how maintenance works for router I/Os, see Maintenance in MediaConnect.
