Linux MAG System settings separates restarting the Embedded portal, rebooting the receiver, resetting selected system values and clearing saved user data. Start with the smallest action that fits the symptom. Before confirming a reset or data clear, know which settings, lists and credentials would need to be recovered.
Identify what you need to restart or recover
Use this guide for the Infomir Linux/WebKit Embedded portal. Record the exact model, firmware, portal and current symptom. If the receiver was configured by an operator, confirm its supported recovery path and who controls credentials before changing its state. Check for an active recording before interrupting playback or rebooting.
Read the confirmation and its scope
| System Settings action | Scope documented by Infomir |
|---|---|
| Restart portal | Reloads the Embedded portal application. This can apply a changed portal language. |
| Reboot device | Restarts receiver software and consequently restarts the portal. |
| Reset settings | Resets selected device values such as the manual network address, TV System, aspect and portal language in the documented interface. |
| Clear user data | Removes stored portal items such as Favorites, the built-in IPTV list, SMB/NFS access configuration, external portal credentials and other personal settings. |
Preserve the information needed to recover
Suppose the viewer can open a channel but the portal menu is still in the previous language after saving a preference. Use the documented portal restart for that change. If a support representative instead proposes Clear user data, ask what that step addresses and first identify the favourite list, local share setup and account details you would need afterward.
Record nonsecret labels and known recovery sources. Keep working credentials in the owner’s private records. A model-specific factory recovery has its own scope. Consult the exact model documentation before assuming it restores or removes user data. For a successful portal restart, reopen the intended screen and verify the original task. For an unresolved issue, report the action taken and what remained visible before considering a more disruptive step.
