Functions
The reset button has the following functions:
● Restart of the device
To restart the device, press the Reset button briefly.
Note
If you make changes to the configuration and restart immediately afterwards with the
reset button, the changes may be lost. If you restart the device using the WBM (menu
command "System > Restart") or using the CLI (command "restart" in the Privileged
EXEC Modus), the configuration changes are always retained.
● Loading new firmware
If the "Load & Save" menu command of Web Based Management is unsuccessful, the
reset button can be used to load new firmware. This situation can occur if there is a
power outage during the normal firmware update. You will find further information in the
configuration manual in Downloading new firmware using TFTP without WBM and CLI
(Page 54).
● Resetting the device to the factory defaults
The device can be reset to the factory defaults during operation. You will find more
detailed information in the configuration manual in Resetting the device to factory defaults
(Page 52).
