Description of the device
4.8 Reset button
①

Function
The reset button has the following functions:
• Restarting the device
To restart the device, press the reset button briefly.
Note
If you make changes to the configuration and restart immediately afterwards with the
reset button, the changes may be lost. If you restart the device using the WBM (menu
command "System > Restart") or using the CLI (command "restart" in the Privileged
EXEC Modus), the configuration changes are always retained.
• Loading a firmware file via TFTP
If the normal procedure with the "Load & Save" menu of Web Based Management is
unsuccessful, the reset button can be used to load new firmware. This situation can
occur if there is a power outage during the normal firmware update. You can find
more detailed information in the section "Downloading new firmware using TFTP
without WBM and CLI (Page 67)".
• Resetting the device to factory settings
If you reset, all the settings you have made will be overwritten by factory defaults. If a
PLUG is inserted in the device, the PLUG is also reset to default settings. You can
find additional information in the section "Restoring the factory settings (Page 68)".
NOTICE
Inadvertent reset
An inadvertent reset can cause disturbances and failures in a configured network with
further consequences.
