5.1 Device configuration with PRESET-PLUG
4. Create the PRESET-PLUG with the "presetplug" command.
The firmware version of the device and the current device configuration incl. user accounts
and certificates are stored on the PLUG and the PLUG is then write protected.
5. Turn off the power to the device.
6. Remove the PRESET-PLUG.
7. Start the device either with a new PLUG inserted or with the internal configuration.
Procedure for installation with the aid of the PRESET-PLUG
1. Turn off the power to the device.
2. If it exists, remove the PLUG from the slot. You will find further information on this in the
operating instructions of your device.
3. Insert the PRESET-PLUG correctly oriented into the slot. The PRESET-PLUG is correctly
inserted when it is completely inside the device and does not jut out of the slot.
4. Turn on the power to the device again.
If there is a different firmware version on the device to be installed compared with that on the
PRESET-PLUG, an upgrade/downgrade of the firmware is performed. You can recognize
this by the red F-LED flashing (flashing interval: 2 sec on/0.2 sec off). Afterwards the device
is restarted and the device configuration incl. users and certificates on the PRESET-PLUG
is transferred to the device.
5. Wait until the device has fully started up.
(the red F-LED is off)
6. Turn off the power to the device after the installation.
7. Remove the PRESET-PLUG.
8. Start the device either with a new PLUG inserted or with the internal configuration.
Note
KEY-PLUG
If you have created the PRESET-PLUG from a KEY-PLUG, for operation with this
configuration, you require an inserted KEY-PLUG with factory settings.
IN this case before recommissioning the device you need to insert the relevant KEY-PLUG.
Note
Restore factory defaults and restart with a PRESET PLUG inserted
If you reset a device to the factory defaults, when the device restarts an inserted PRESET
PLUG is formatted and the PRESET PLUG functionality is lost. You then need to create a new
PRESET PLUG. The keys stored on the KEY-PLUG for releasing functions are retained.
We recommend that you remove the PRESET PLUG before you reset the device to the factory
settings.
