4.5 Resetting the Switch

If you lock yourself (and others) from the switch or forget the switch password, you will need
to reload the factory-default configuration file.
Uploading the factory-default configuration file replaces the current configuration file with the
factory-default configuration file. This means that you will lose all previous configurations
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 upload the configuration file, do the following:
1 Connect to the console port using a computer with terminal emulation software. See the
chapter on hardware connections for details.
2 Disconnect and reconnect the switch's power to begin a session. When you reconnect the
switch's power, you will see the initial screen.
3 When you see the message "Press any key to enter Debug Mode within
3 seconds" press any key to enter debug mode.
4 Type atlc after the "Enter Debug Mode" message.
5 Wait for the "Starting XMODEM upload" message before activating XMODEM
upload on your terminal.
6 After a successful configuration file upload, type atgo to finish starting the switch.
