6.3.1 Resetting the Prestige

If you have forgotten your password or for some reason cannot access the SMT menu you will need to
reinstall the configuration file. Uploading the configuration file replaces the current configuration file with
the default configuration file, you will lose all configurations that you had before and the speed of the
console port will be reset to the default of 9600bps with 8 data bit, no parity and 1 stop bit (8n1). The
password will be reset to the default of 1234, also.
Turn off the Prestige and begin a Telnet session with the default console port settings. Turn on the Prestige
again. When you see the message "Press Any key to enter Debug Mode within 3 seconds", press any key to
enter debug mode. You should already have downloaded the correct file from your nearest ZyXEL FTP
site. See section 6.5 Restore Configuration on page 6-8 for more information on how to transfer the
configuration file to your Prestige.

Backup Configuration

Option 5 in Menu 24 - System Maintenance allows you to backup the current Prestige configuration to
your workstation. Backup is highly recommended once your Prestige is functioning properly.
You must perform the backup and restore through the console port. Any serial communications program
should work fine; however, you must use XMODEM protocol to perform the download/upload.
Step 1.
Go to Menu 24.5 (shown next).
