3.4.1 Resetting the VES-1000 Series switch
If you forget your password or cannot access the VES-1000 Series switch, you will need to reload the factory-
default configuration file. Uploading this configuration file replaces the current configuration file with the factory-
default configuration file. This means that you will lose all configurations that you had previously and the speed of
the console port will be reset to the default of 9600bps with 8 data bit, no parity, one stop bit and flow control set
to none. The password will also be reset to "1234" and the IP address to 192.168.1.1.
To obtain the default configuration file, download it from the ZyXEL FTP site, unzip it and save it in a folder.
Turn the VES-1000 Series switch off and then on to begin a session. When you turn on the VES-1000 Series
switch again you will see the initial screen. When you see the message "Press any key to enter Debug Mode
within 3 seconds" press any key to enter debug mode.
To upload the configuration file, do the following:
1. Type atlc after the Enter Debug Mode message.
2. Wait for the Starting XMODEM upload message before activating XMODEM upload on your terminal.
3. After a successful firmware upload, type atgo to restart the VES-1000 Series switch.
The VES-1000 Series switch is now reinitialized with a default configuration file including the default password
of "1234".
