Resetting allows equipment to auto-correct issues
Recalls to mind years ago in the Toll testroom where I work, the evenings equipment man (charged with and assigned to the task of repairing equipment that had been "patched out" by the day shift) would, when he arrived for work each day, retrieve the piece of 2 X 4 from its hiding place and whack each bay of relay-rich equipment as he walked in the area.
Then, after some coffee and a cigarette, he would go through the trouble-ticket collection, retest the item, mark the ticket "NTF" and proceed to the next item.
I love that!
