3. Fill in the following details:
•
File Name <configuration file name>
4. Click Update to start the file transfer.
A reboot is required for the new configuration to be restored into the device.

7.5 Soft Reset to Factory Default

The unit can be reset to the factory default settings. Resetting to default settings leads to configuring the unit anew.
To reset to factory default settings using the Web Interface
1. Click Management > Reset for Factory.
2. Click the Reset to Factory Default button.
The device configuration parameter values are reset to their factory default values. If you do not have access to the unit, you
can use the procedure described in Hard Reset to Factory Default as an alternative.

7.6 Hard Reset to Factory Default

If you cannot access the unit or you have lost its password, you can reset the unit to the factory default settings. Resetting to
default settings leads to configuring the unit anew.
To reset to factory default settings, press and hold the RELOAD button on the side of the unit's power supply for 5 seconds.
The current configuration is deleted from the unit and the unit reboots with factory defaults.
CAUTION: If you hold the RELOAD button for longer than 10 seconds, you may go into Forced Reload mode,
which erases the unit's embedded software.

7.7 Forced Reload

With Forced Reload, you can erase the embedded software. Use this procedure only as a last resort if the unit does not boot
and the "Reset to Factory Defaults" procedure does not help. If you perform a Forced Reload, you must download a new
firmware with the Bootloader (see "Firmware Download with the Bootloader" below).
CAUTION: The following procedure erases the embedded software of the unit. This software image must be
reloaded through an Ethernet connection with a TFTP server. The image filename to be downloaded
can be configured with ScanTool through the Ethernet interface to make the unit functional again.
To do a forced reload
1. Disconnect and reconnect power to the unit; the unit resets and the LEDs flash.
2. Immediately press and hold the RELOAD button on the side of the unit's power supply for about 20 seconds. The
software image and configuration are deleted from the unit.
3. Follow the Firmware Download with the Bootloader procedure to download an image file.

7.8 Upgrade a New Firmware Using ScanTool in Bootloader Mode

To download the unit's firmware, you will need an Ethernet connection to the computer on which the TFTP server resides and
to a computer that is running ScanTool (this is either two separate computers connected to the same network or a single
computer running both programs).
ScanTool detects if a device does not have a valid software firmware installed. In this case, the TFTP Server and Image File
Name parameters are enabled in the ScanTool's Change screen so you can download a new firmware to the unit. (These fields
are grayed out if ScanTool does not detect a software firmware problem.)
