KMS: Stopping the network for maintenance

It may be necessary on occasion to take the entire KMS network offline to facilitate hardware maintenance, software upgrades or reconfiguration.

**This would usually only be performed by Redcat Support staff or under their direct supervision.**

Stopping all Devices

To do this:

• Access the Kitchen Network button on the toolbar
• Use the Stop all devices button at the bottom of the screen
• Enter the Redcat Supervisor password

This will issue a stop token for all KMS devices on the network except the device you are using.

While ever a stop token exists for a KMS device, that device cannot be opened.

Removing the Stop Tokens

Once the required maintenance, upgrade or reconfiguration has been completed:

• Use the Clear all stop tokens button
• Enter the Redcat Supervisor password

This will remove the stop tokens that exist for any devices on the network. 

The KMS devices can now be reopened.
