Manual Resets

NOTE: If you hold down the Reset button continuously, the LED blinks every 3 seconds, and the unit
enters a different mode, from the Reset all IP Settings mode through the Reset to Factory Defaults mode.
For Reset to Factory Defaults mode the LED blinks three times, the third blink indicating the last mode.
The modes are separate functions, not a continuation from one mode to the next.
