There is a reset button in the admin applet, but not a power down button.

If one needs to power down the Polisy, for example to move it, is just pulling the plug tolerated well?

Yes. The same as its always been with the ISYs. You just dont want to pull the plug during a firmware update.

You should however try to do a proper shutdown should you need to do so using the system system mechanisms outlined in the posts below

Personally I use the menu item in the PG2 interface, System > Shutdown Polisy or from the admin shell login

sudo shutdown -n now

The wiki also suggests using the hidden button on the front of Polisy.

Safely Shutdown

Click the button three times.

 

... but that begs the question, what do you then do to power it back up.

I guess, you just power cycle it?

Yes, the 3 button clicks just runs 'sudo shutdown -r now'... It's expecting you to power down after it shuts down... one thing that's no delineated is how long to wait after the command or clicks, because the shutdown isn't instant, I haven't done it in awhile but as I recall I waited a couple of minutes.

I guess you could just SSH in, and watch it once, to be sure.

IIRC that the SSH connection will terminate prior to the completion of an orderly shutdown, so I'd still wait a bit before unplugging after the network connection drops.
