From the main menu, click Administration > Backup/Restore from the main menu.

Reset the configuration from a web browser, which clears all current device
configuration settings except the IP address settings and administrator password. This is
the best way to reset the configuration as it allows for backing up the settings, providing
a means for restoring the settings after any configuration issues are resolved. See "Using
the web interface" on page 156 for more information.
Reset the configuration using the reset button on the Digi device. Use this method if the
device cannot be accessed from a web browser. The location of the reset button may
vary. See "Using the Reset button" on page 157.
From the main menu, click Administration > Factory Default Settings.
Click Restore.
