Using the Reset Button

Using the reset button on the rear panel (see Figure 1-2 on page 13), you can perform two
types of reset operations with the EMTA:
Software reset – this reset operation power-cycles the EMTA and retains its current
Ÿ
configuration settings.
Factory default reset – this operation removes all overrides made to the EMTA's factory
Ÿ
default configuration and returns the EMTA to its original factory default settings.
The number of seconds you press the reset button determines which reset operation is
performed. To protect against accidental resets, the reset button is recessed on the EMTA
rear panel.
Note: You can also reset the EMTA and retain its current configuration settings using the
RESET method described under "Configuring Security Settings" on page 40.
To use the reset button to perform a software or factory default reset:
1. Leave power plugged into the EMTA.
2. Find the reset button at the top of the back panel, then use a thin object to press and hold
the reset button as follows:
– To perform a software reset, press the reset button for at least 10 seconds.
– To perform a factory default reset, press the reset button for at least 15 seconds.
3. Release the reset button.
