Reset Switch; Other Status Lights - THOMSON RCA DCM245 Manual

Reset Switch

The reset switch can be found behind a "toothpick hole" on the
back panel. It performs two functions:
1. Basic Reset – Press and release the switch to make it
perform the same function as disconnecting the power from
the modem. It will start up again in Initialization Mode, see
page 25.
2. Factory Default Reset – Unplug the modem from the AC
power. Press and hold the reset switch while plugging the
modem into AC power. Continue holding the switch. Release
the switch when all lights come on (about 6 seconds). This
will return the modem to a factory "out of box" condition.
This should only be done if the cable modem has been
taken out of service in one location and is being
reconnected to a different service, or if instructed to
do so by your cable company.
