Start here

Complete guide to Follow a protected maintenance window

When you do this

Use this guide while a protected change dialog is open after you approve a supported Smart Action or Smart Setup change.

What this means

The maintenance window protects one approved scope while AXORIK applies it, waits for the network to reconnect and checks live service. Temporary interruption can be expected during reconnection.

Before you start

  • Read the approved scope and expected interruption before starting.
  • Keep the browser window open and avoid a competing controller change.
  • Make sure someone can provide local help if the network does not return.

Do this step by step

  1. 1Confirm Change approved shows the intended target.
  2. 2Wait through Applying safely without repeating the action.
  3. 3During Reconnecting network, watch the changing status text and elapsed time.
  4. 4During Verifying service, let live checks complete.
  5. 5If Recovery needs attention appears, read the evidence and follow the offered manual step or escalation.

How to know it worked

All stages complete, service verification succeeds and the dialog records the final outcome.

If it does not work

  • Do not refresh or submit the same action again while it is active.
  • If the expected recovery window passes, AXORIK stops additional automatic changes.
  • A needs-attention state requires evidence review, not a blind retry.

Important

The floating AXORIK Guide is intentionally hidden while this blocking maintenance dialog is active.

Recommended workflow

Follow these steps in order. If a step is blocked, resolve it before moving to the next one.

1

Change approved

The reviewed scope is frozen and unrelated changes are excluded.

2

Applying safely

AXORIK sends the supported change inside a protected window.

3

Reconnect

Devices and services may disappear temporarily while configuration reloads.

4

Verify service

Live checks confirm that expected devices, clients and services returned.

Safety and interpretation

  • Do not repeat the action while the window is active.
  • Additional automatic changes stop when recovery exceeds the expected window.
  • Needs attention requires evidence review, not a blind retry.
