• Switch 6 – Forced BootP. Do NOT attempt a Forced BootP unless a
BootP server has been configured for the 2H28-08R. The BootP server
references the location of a station acting as a Trivial File Transfer
Protocol (TFTP) server containing the 2H28-08R image file. When the
position of Switch 6 is changed and the power is cycled to the
2H28-08R, the device requests the image file location from the BootP
server and uses TFTP to download the image from the TFTP server. If
one of these requirements is not met, the 2H28-08R will continue to
request either the BootP server or the TFTP server until the RESET
button on the 2H28-08R is pressed. Once the RESET button is pressed,
the 2H28-08R will reset after one minute and load the image stored in
FLASH memory.
• Switch 7 – Clear NVRAM. Changing the position of this switch resets
NVRAM on the next power-up. All user-entered parameters, such as
the IP address, device names, etc., are reset to the factory default
settings. Once the 2H28-08R resets, you can either use the factory
default settings or reenter your own parameters.
• Switch 8 – Reset Password/Community Strings. Changing the
position of this switch clears user-entered passwords stored in
NVRAM, and restores the factory default passwords on the next
power-up. Once the 2H28-08R resets, you can either use the factory
default settings or reenter your own passwords.
Do not change the position of switch 8 unless it is necessary to
NOTE
reset the module super-user configured passwords to their
factory default settings.
