Testing the switch by resetting it

If you believe the switch is not operating correctly, you can reset the switch to test its circuitry and operating
code. To reset the switch, unplug and plug in the power cord (power cycling).
Power cycling the switch will cause the switch to perform its power-on self test. Resetting the switch can also
be invoked from the Web interface.

Restoring to Factory Defaults

If you forget the switch IP address or password, you can restore the factory default configuration by pressing
the Reset button.
To execute the factory default reset on the switch, perform these steps:
Procedure
1. Using a small, thin tool with blunt ends (such as a paper clip), press the Reset button on the front of the
switch.
2. Continue to press the Reset button until the Fault LED light begins to flash.
3. Release the Reset button.
The switch will then complete its self test and begin operating with its configuration restored to the factory
default settings.
After completing this procedure, there will be no password, the IP address will be returned to the default
192.168.1.1, and all configuration settings will be returned to factory defaults.
