Procedure
1. To delete a login record, follow this menu selection sequence:
Main Menu Control
2. Select PgUp or PgDn and press Enter to page through login pages / records
until you find the one to be deleted.
3. Once the correct record is displayed, select De l ete and press Enter.

and the record following the deleted record appears.
Misconfiguring the termination unit could render the user interface inaccessible,
leaving it in a state where a session cannot be started via the COM port or a
Telnet session. If this occurs, the termination unit connectivity can be restored via
a terminal directly connected to the COM port.
Two methods can be used to restore access to the user interface:
Reset COM Port – Allows you to reset the configuration options related to
COM port usage. This also causes a device reset, where the termination unit
performs a Device Self-Test. No security-related configuration options are
changed.
Reload Factory Defaults – Allows you to reload the Default Factory
Configuration, resetting all of the configuration and control settings which
causes the current configuration to be destroyed and a device reset. This
method is also useful when the user's password(s) have been forgotten.
Procedure
To reset COM port settings:
1. At the terminal that is directly connected to the unit's COM port, configure the
terminal to operate at 9.6 kbps, using character length of 8 bits, with one
stop-bit, and no parity.
2. Reset the unit, then immediately and repeatedly press Enter at a rate of
about 1 press per second until the System Paused screen appears.
3. Tab to the desired method, and enter yes (or y) for the selected prompt.
