Restoring System Settings To Factory Defaults - D-Link DFL-200 - Security Appliance User Manual

Restoring system settings to factory defaults

Use the following procedure to restore system settings to the factory defaults. This
procedure will possibly change the DFL-200 firmware version to a lower version if it has been
upgraded. Make sure you have the current firmware file available for upload to the device in
the case where the firmware version is defaulted to an older version.
The factory reset procedure erases all configuration changes that have been made to the
DFL-200 and will revert the system to its original configuration, including resetting interface
addresses.
Follow these steps to reset the DFL-200 to factory default settings through the Web-based
Configuration:
Step 1. Under the Tools menu and the Reset section, click on the Reset to Factory
Defaults button.
Step 2. Click OK in the dialog to reset the unit to factory defaults, or press Cancel to
cancel.
Follow these steps to reset the DFL-200 to factory default settings using the Reset button
located at the rear of the device:
Step 1. Using a paperclip or some other rigid small diameter object push in and hold the
Reset button for 15 seconds while the DFL-200 is powered on.
Step 2. The Power light will go out to indicate the device is restarting with the factory
default configuration.
Step 3. Allow 2 minutes for the Firewall to completely restart. At this point the firewall can
be accessed via its default LAN IP (192.168.1.1) through a web browser. The first login
will require the use of the Wizard to complete basic connectivity configurations.
You can restore your system settings by uploading a previously generated system
configuration file to the DFL-200 if a backup of the device has been downloaded to your Local
Machine Prior to reset.
