The user interface can be rendered inaccessible with a faulty configuration. Two
methods can be used to restore it:
H
Reset COM Port – Allows you to reset the configuration options related to
COM port usage. This also causes a device reset, where the termination unit
performs a Device Self-Test. No security-related configuration options are
changed.
H
Reload Factory Defaults – Allows you to reload the Default Factory
Configuration, resetting all of the configuration and control settings which
causes the current configuration to be destroyed and a device reset. This
method is also useful when the user's password(s) have been forgotten.
Procedure
To reset COM port settings:
1. At a terminal directly connected to the unit's COM port, configure the terminal
to operate at 9.6 kbps, using character length of 8 bits, with one stop bit, and
no parity.
2. Reset the unit, then immediately and repeatedly press Enter at a rate of at
least once per second until the System Paused screen appears.
3. Tab to the desired method, and enter yes (or y) for the selected prompt.

If no (or n) is entered, or if no selection is made within 30 seconds, the unit
returns to the condition or operation it was in when the system reset was
initiated, with the COM port rate returning to its configured rate.
The termination unit resets itself, going through a self-test. Connectivity is
restored and the Main Menu screen appears.
