Appendix A: Resetting to Factory Defaults
You can reset the non-volatile RAM that stores all configurable options. This clears all administrator-editable fields
and resets all command line configurable options to their default values, including all user accounts.
You can reset the unit to factory defaults from the command line or the web interface, or by pressing the reset
button. You must have administrator-level access to issue the command. Using the reset button can be necessary
when a forgotten password prevents administrator login. Each of the methods updates the current working
configuration to the factory defaults.
Reset to Factory Defaults
Note: Resetting the unit resets all TCP/IP and Telnet/Web configurations. Reconfiguring the TCP/IP and
Telnet/Web settings will be required.
From the Web Interface
On the Restart page in the Tools section of the Web interface, select Restart and reset to factory defaults from the
drop-down menu and click Apply.
From the Command Line Interface (CLI)
At the Switched -48 VDC: prompt, type restart factory and press Enter.
Using the Reset Button
Locate the recessed reset button directly beside the Serial & Ethernet ports. You will need a non-conductive, non-
metallic tool that fits inside the recess.
Insert the tool in the recess, then depress and hold the reset button for at least ten seconds.
Notes:
•
This method will not work if you disable the Reset button.
•
If you press and hold the Reset button for more than 15 seconds, the reset will terminate.
Reset to Factory Defaults (except network settings) From the Web Interface

network" from the drop-down menu and click Apply.
