All LEDs will become OFF after

Partial Reset
The partial reset provides a way to contact the Mitel GX Gateway in a known and static state while
keeping most of the configuration
A partial reset can be performed at the initial start-up of the Mitel GX Gateway or on a unit already in use
where the configuration was modified in such a way that the user can no longer access the system by
the Web page or otherwise. In both cases, the user can manage the Mitel GX Gateway through its
Rescue interface, which is bound to the unit's WAN port (ETH1). The IP address of the Rescue interface
is 192.168.0.1 (IPv4) or an IPv6 Link Local address. These connections give access to the Rescue
Management Interface where the configuration of a new unit can be completed and where an existing
configuration can be modified.
By default the Rescue Network Interface is disabled. When a partial reset is performed, the Rescue
network Interface becomes enabled and the "Power" and "Ready" LEDs are blinking at 1Hz with 75%
duty and all other LEDs are off. Once the configuration has been modified to solve the problem that
required the partial reset, it is important to disable the Rescue Network Interface to make sure that you
are no longer working in the Rescue Network Interface.
Performing a partial reset on a new unit will not modify the configuration, as it has not yet been modified
to your needs. However, a partial reset performed on a unit already in use will:
•
Rollback Local Firewall settings that are not yet
•
Add a Local Firewall rule to allow complete access to the Rescue interface.
•
Rollback NAT settings that are not yet applied.
•
Add NAT rule to allow complete access to the Rescue interface.
•
Cancel the changes that were being modified but not yet applied to the configuration.
•
Disable any Network Interface in conflict with the Network Rescue Interface.
•
Configure and enable the Rescue Network Interface to:
•
use the link as the default value used by the Uplink Network Interface
•
set the IP address to 192.168.0.1 and the Network Mask to 255.255.255.0.
•
set the IPv6 link-local address on all network links. The IPv6 link-local address can be found
underneath the unit.
A partial reset will also modify the following parameters and preserve the values below even after the
Rescue interface has been disabled.
Note:
These changes are valid when using a MX profile. If the Mitel GX Gateway is not using a MX
profile, the default values and therefore the behaviour of the parameters may be different.
