Maintain

1. Go to Setting->System->Maintain

Item	Description
System reboot	Click "System reboot" to reboot the encoder
System default	Click "System default" to reset the encoder to the default factory settings
Upgrade	Strongly recommended to do upgrading via Device Manager

WARNING: DO NOT upgrade the firmware from web interface directly and under wireless connection.  Here's a breakdown of the two reasons mentioned for not upgrading the firmware directly from the web interface and under a wireless connection, as well as the recommendation to use a device manager for the upgrade:

1. Risk of Hardware Damage: Upgrading firmware directly through the graphical user interface (GUI) of the device might pose a risk of causing damage to the device, specifically the encoder unit in this case. If the upgrade process is interrupted or fails, it could potentially render the unit inoperable, requiring it to be sent back to the manufacturer EXVIST for repair and burning flash. Upgrading through a more controlled and specialized method, such as a device manager, can reduce this risk.
   
2. Recovery Options: The device manager likely provides a more robust and controlled environment for firmware upgrades. If a firmware upgrade through the device manager fails or causes the unit to become non-functional, there may be additional recovery options available through the same or specified device manager interface. This could potentially mitigate the consequences of a failed upgrade and provide a pathway to restore the encoder's functionality.
