It is normal for a line card to be in the inactive state when it is starting up or the firmware is
being upgraded. If neither of these is the case, the line card may be malfunctioning. Try the
following.
1 The MSC can automatically restart a line card that it is managing. If the line card is
unresponsive, use the lcman reset command to perform a hardware reset on the line
card.
2 Try removing the line card from the slot and re-installing it.
3 If neither of these steps work, use the
line card's console port and recover the firmware. The procedure to recover the line card
firmware is similar to the procedure for recovering the MSC firmware (see
39.8.2 on page
4 After you have recovered the line card's firmware, use the lcman enable command
to turn the MSC's management of the line card back on.
39.8 Resetting the Defaults
You can upload the factory-default configuration file to reset the MSC to the default settings.
This means that you will lose all previous configurations and the speed of the console port will
be reset to the default of 9600 bps with 8 data bit, no parity, one stop bit and flow control set to
none. The user name and password will also be reset to "admin" and "1234". The default in-
band IP address is 192.168.1.1. The default out-of-band IP address is 192.168.0.1.
If you forget your password or cannot access the MSC, contact customer support for how to
reset your device to the factory defaults.
39.8.1 Resetting the Defaults Via CLI Command
If you know the password, you can reload the factory-default configuration file via Command
Line Interface (CLI) command. Use the following procedure.
1 Connect to the console port using a computer with terminal emulation software. See the
chapter on hardware connections for details.
2 Enter your password.
3 Type config default.
4 Type

system restart! proceed(y/n)? >)?
5 After restarting, the MSC is re-initialized with a default configuration file the default
user name of "admin" and password of "1234".
39.8.2 Recovering the Firmware
Usually you should use FTP or the console port to upload the MSC's firmware. If the MSC
will not start up, the firmware may be lost or corrupted. Use the following procedure to upload
firmware to the MSC only when you are unable to use another method to upload firmware.
