Functions of the reset button
The reset button has the following functions:
● Restart of the device
To restart the device, press the Reset button briefly.
Note
If you make changes to the configuration and restart immediately afterwards with the reset
button, the changes may be lost. If you restart the device using the WBM (menu command
"System > Restart") or using the CLI (command "restart" in the Privileged EXEC Modus),
the configuration changes are always retained.
Upkeep and maintenance
● Loading new firmware
If the "Load & Save" menu command of Web Based Management is unsuccessful, the reset
button can be used to load new firmware. This situation can occur if there is a power outage
during the normal firmware update. You will find further information in the configuration
manual in Downloading new firmware using TFTP without WBM and CLI.
● Resetting the device to the factory defaults
The device can be reset to the factory defaults during operation. You will find more detailed
information in the configuration manual in Resetting the device to factory defaults.
