A second software method to reset all settings to the original
defaults is the Ping to Defaults .
The technique is identical to that used for the Ping of Life , except
that another MAC address is used, i.e. 01–90–D0–80–01–FF.
Proceed as follows:
1. Turn off the AST570.
2. Open a command line (DOS) window (Windows OS), or a
terminal window (UNIX, Linux) on a PC.
3. Add a static entry to the ARP cache, according to following
syntax:
arp –s <any IP address> 01–90–D0–80–01–FF
<any IP address> can be any address within your subnet
as long as it is not used by any other member of your local
network.
4. To verify whether this step was successful execute arp –a
5. Initiate a continuous pinging, by executing following
command:
ping –t <any IP address>
6. Turn on the AST570.
7. After the AST570 finished its POST, it will perform a reset to
default settings.
8. You must clear the entry in the ARP cache by issuing
the following command:
arp –d <any IP address>
9. For a non wired network, re authenticate your WLAN client
adapter.
10. If needed, reconfigure the AST570 IP address, e.g. via a
Ping of Life and its Wireless LAN settings.
The used
<any IP address>
assimilated by your AST570.
