Reconnecting a Network From the Dashboard
Use the dashboard when an external IRC network becomes disconnected or after changing its settings.
When a reconnect may be required
A reconnect may be needed after:
Do not repeatedly press Reconnect
Repeated submissions can create overlapping connection attempts and make the network state harder to diagnose.
Submit the reconnect once, wait for the dashboard status to update and then review the resulting message.
No full service restart is required
Reconnecting one network is intended to affect that selected network only.
Do not request a full BNC or service restart for an ordinary single-network connection problem.
