MANAGE DEVICES

This section is broken down further into functions that relate to Factory Defaulting devices as well as setting or restoring
Device Restore Points.
FACTORY DEFAULT
FACTORY DEFAULT
If you want to clear the settings of a device and return it to the factory defaults, click Factory Default.
Note that only devices in the Security Domain shown in this dialog box will be available to be defaulted. For devices running
firmware V4 or below or devices that opted out of security, select the device and choose Factory Default in the Device
menu.
See the Pathway website under Support > Reference Articles > Factory Defaulting Ethernet Devices for detailed
instructions.
At the bottom of the window, you may optionally Wipe Device Restore Points from all checked devices. See below for
details on Device Restore Points.
DEVICE RESTORE POINTS
With the release of firmware V6.0, VIA Switches including models PWVIA RM P12, PWVIA DIN P16, and PWVIA DIN P8
will support Device Restore Points.
Creating a Device Restore Point saves the device's current configuration and settings to its internal memory, for later recall.
This differs from a Pathscape show file, in that the show file is saved on a PC running Pathscape.
