Resetting the device to factory defaults
To reset the device to default settings during operation, do the following:

Display mode A is active if the LEDs DM1 and DM2 are unlit.
If the DM1 and DM2 LEDs are lit or flashing, press the button briefly several times until the
LEDs are off.
If you do not press the button for longer than 1 minute, the device automatically changes to
display mode A.
2. Hold down the button for 12 seconds.
Note
If you release the button before the 12 seconds have elapsed, the operation is canceled.
3. Release the button after 12 seconds.

Load a firmware file via TFTP.
Firmware
The firmware is signed and encrypted. This ensures that only firmware created by Siemens can
be downloaded to the device.
Procedure with Microsoft Windows
You can download new firmware to the device using TFTP. To do this, the device does not need
to be reachable either using Web Based Management (WBM) or using the Command Line
Interface (CLI). This can be the case if there was a power failure during a firmware update.
When pressing the button, observe the information in the section "SELECT / SET button
(Page 39)".
Follow the steps below to load new firmware using TFTP:
1. Turn off the power to the device.
2. Press the SELECT/SET button and reconnect the device to the power supply with the button
pressed.
3. Hold down the button until the red fault LED "F" starts to flash.
4. Release the button as long as the red error LED is still flashing..
This time only lasts a few seconds.
The bootloader of the device waits in this status for a new firmware file that you can
download by TFTP.
5. Connect a PC to an Ethernet port of the device with an Ethernet cable.
