Restoring Networking Parameters to their Initial State

You can use the 'Reset' button to restore the V7122 and TP-1610 networking parameters
(described in Table 18) to their factory default values and to reset the username and
password.
The gateway returns to the software version burned in flash. This process also
restores the gateway's parameters to their factory settings. Therefore, you must
load your previously backed-up ini file, or the default ini file (received with the
software kit) to set them to their correct values
This option is currently supported (for V7122 and TP-1610) on one media gateway module
(trunks 1-8) only.
To restore the networking parameters of the V7122 and TP-1610 to their initial state:
Disconnect the V7122 from the power and network cables.

Reconnect the power cable; the gateway is powered up. After approximately 45 seconds

panel); the gateway resets a second time and is restored with factory default parameters
(username: 'Admin', password: 'Admin').
Reconnect the network cable.

Load your previously backed-up ini file, or the default ini file (received with the software
6
kit). To load the ini file using the Embedded Web Server, see
the Gateway Configuration.

Establishing a Serial Communications Link with the Gateway

Use serial communication software (for example, HyperTerminal
communications link with the V7122 using the RS-232 connection. You can use this link to
change the networking parameters
