Appendix B: Recovery mode
The NTC-30WV features two independent operating systems, each with its own file systems. These two systems are referred to as
'Main' and 'Recovery'. It is always possible to use one in order to restore the other in the event that one system becomes damaged
or corrupted (such as during a firmware upgrade failure).
Both systems have web interfaces that can be used to manipulate the other inactive system. The router starts up by default in the
Main system mode, however the router may be triggered to start in recovery mode if desired.
To start the router in recovery mode:
1.
Disconnect the power source from the router.
2.
Press and hold the physical reset button on the interface panel of the router. While holding the reset button down, connect
the power source and keep holding the reset button down for 5 seconds and then release it. The router boots into
recovery mode.
3.
In your browser, navigate to http://192.168.1.1. The router's recovery mode is hardcoded to use this address regardless
of the IP address that was configured in the main system. The router's recovery console is displayed.
The recovery console provides limited functionality. Basic status information is available, as well as access to the System log for
troubleshooting. The Application Installer can be used to upload and install different firmware, allowing you to roll back to a previous
firmware in the event that an upgrade fails. The Settings menu provides the ability to reset the router to factory default settings and
the Reboot tab allows you to perform a soft reboot of the router.
