down until the Power or Reset LED blinks twice, or for 6 seconds, then release the button. The

install the desired firmware.

user-loaded firmware.

to use the firmware version with which the unit shipped, you must upload that version

previously-set static IP address.

logs table. User-loaded digital certificates are deleted. The unit continues to run the user-loaded
firmware.
