Resetting the Prestige

If you have forgotten your password or for some reason cannot access the Prestige you will need to reinstall
the configuration (rom) file. Uploading the configuration file replaces the current configuration file with the
default configuration file, you will lose all configurations that you had before and the speed of the console
port will be reset to the default of 9600bps with 8 data bit, no parity and 1 stop bit (8n1). The following is the
Prestige factory default password and IP address.
•
Password: 1234
•
IP address: 192.168.1.1
You can erase the current configuration and restore factory defaults in three ways:
Upload the default configuration file via teh console port. Turn off the Prestige and begin a
1.
Terminal session with the current console port settings. Turn on the Prestige again. When you see
the message "Press Any key to enter Debug Mode within 3 seconds", press any key to enter debug
mode. You should already have downloaded the correct file from your nearest ZyXEL FTP site.
See later in this User's Guide for more information on how to transfer the configuration file to
your Prestige using the SMT menus.
2. Use the RESET button on the rear panel of the Prestige (see the next section). Use this method for
cases when the password or IP address of the Prestige is not known.
3. Use the web configurator to restore defaults (see the web configurator HTML help).

2.8.1 Procedure To Use The Reset Button

Make sure the SYS LED is on (not blinking) before you begin this procedure.
1. Press the RESET button for ten seconds, then release it. If the SYS LED begins to blink, the
defaults have been restored and the Prestige restarts. Otherwise, go to step 2.
2. Turn the Prestige off.
3. While pressing the RESET button, turn the Prestige on.
