Resetting to Factory Defaults

If the Switch does not operate normally or if the
firmware becomes corrupted, you can reset the Switch
to its factory defaults.
CAUTION: Resetting the Switch to its factory defaults
erases all your settings. You will need to reconfigure the
Switch after you reset it.
To reset the Switch to factory defaults, click Reset. The
Switch LAN IP address will revert to the default IP
address 169.254.x.y (using the process described in
"Automatic IP Configuration" on page 29). You may
need to restart your computer to re-establish
communication with the Switch.

Backing Up and Restoring Configuration

To back up the Switch's setting to a configuration file,
click Backup. You will be prompted to download and
save a file to disk.
To reload previously saved configuration:
Scroll down the page, and then click Browse to locate
1
the backup file on your computer.
Click Restore to copy the configuration back to the
2
Switch.
For security purposes, restoring the configuration does
not change the password.

any new releases of system software that 3Com may
make available. To check for available software
upgrades, refer to "Access Software Downloads" on
page 49.
The newer version of software can be downloaded via
HTTP and once copied to the Switch; the Switch will
restart and apply the newer system software version.
