NETWORK RECOVERY MODE

Since the Ethernet settings are made with a web connection, keying in incorrect static IP information can result in
losing access to the Network Manager interface entirely. If this happens, it is possible to be "locked out" of the unit
(i.e., unable to log in). Device Manager has a network recovery tool to help with this: Network Recovery Mode.
For security reasons, Network Recovery Mode is only available during the first five minutes after a MultiRack
unit has (re)booted. Once those five minutes have elapsed, the unit will need to be rebooted in order to perform
network recovery.
Figure 11 shows Network Recovery Mode. The "Scan" button has shown the presence of a MultiRack on the
network. On the "Device" tab on the right pane, the "Network Settings" button is activated and a countdown timer
is started. Selecting this will allow changing of the primary Ethernet settings in the same way as Toolbox.
Once the IP address is set up via the Device Manager, the rest of the setup and operation of the MultiRack is done
via either the Console-Connection Interface or the Web-Based Interface. This process is addressed in the following
section.
