NIOS II soft reset

Hi i am new to the NIOS II features. I am working on a cyclone V (5CEFA4U19C7) which has a Nios II processor in it. I want to do a soft reset which is, resetting the NIOS without power cycling it. I did the watchdog timer , but I have a doubt in it as to whether the resetrequest signal should be tied to the reset input of the timer block(a pic is attached). Also how do I test the soft reset, coz the document says that the system will reset when the software stops executing normally, how to get this feature to work so that i can test whether the soft reset is working or not.

Please guide me through this problem.

Thanks,
Sid
