Default Settings

You can restore the device's factory default settings or define your own user-defined default
settings for the device.
7.1

Defining Default Settings

The device is shipped with factory default configuration values stored on its non-volatile
memory (flash). However, you can define your own default values instead of using the
factory defaults. This is performed using an ini file that includes the header
'[ClientDefaults]'. Below this header, simply define new default values for the required ini
file parameters. The parameters are defined in the same format as in the standard ini file,
and loaded to the device using TFTP (i.e., not via the Web interface).
To define default values for device parameters:
1. Configure the ClientDefaults ini file with new default parameter values, as required. An
example of a ClientsDefault ini file for defining default values for Syslog server
parameters is shown below:
[ClientDefaults]
EnableSyslog = 1
SyslogServerIP = 10.13.2.20
2. Load the ClientDefaults ini file to the device, using TFTP (refer to the Product
Reference Manual).
To remove user-defined defaults and restore factory default values:
Load an empty ClientDefaults ini file (i.e., without any parameters, as shown below) to
the device, using TFTP.

7.2

Restoring Factory Defaults

You can restore all or most of the device's configuration settings to default settings:
Restoring parameters to default settings, except for the device's IP address and
Web interface's login user name and password: Load to the device an empty ini file
(without any parameters or only with a semicolon (;) preceding all lines). When a
parameter is absent from a loaded ini file, the default value is assigned to that
parameter (according to the cmp file loaded to the device) and saved to the non-
volatile memory (thereby, overriding the value previously defined for that parameter).
Restoring all parameters to default settings:
•
Press the device's hardware Reset button (refer to the device's Installation
Manual for more information).
•
Enter the CLI Shell command RestoreFactorySettings (from the folder
CONFiguration) in a CLI session with the device.
