Reinitializing And Resetting The Hub; Reinitializing; Resetting - Equinox Systems ESP-2 MI Installation And User Manual

• The ESP-2 hub requires a permanent IP allocation. If you are using DHCP, it
must have an infinite lease on the assigned IP address; an IP address with a
finite lease will not be accepted.
The BootP or DHCP server may also specify a configuration file using the
"bootfile" parameter. See Configuration Files on page 40 for more information.

2.7 Reinitializing and Resetting the Hub

The information in this section is not a standard part of the startup sequence;
however, it is provided for reference if the serial hub must be reinitialized or reset.

Reinitializing

The INIT button on the front panel may be used to remove configured information
from an ESP-2 hub. The hub stores nonvolatile data such as the SNMP community
name, system contact and IP address in the EEPROM. This information is erased by
pressing and holding the INIT button until reinitialization occurs.
When the INIT button is first pressed, the ON LINE LED will begin to blink to
confirm that you have pressed the INIT button. As the INIT button remains pressed,
the ON LINE LED will blink at a faster rate. After approximately 12 seconds, the ON
LINE LED will turn off. At this point, all nonvolatile information will be reset to the
factory defaults and the hub will immediately reboot.
You may also reinitialize the hub using the web interface (see Reinitializing the Hub
on page 30) or the configuration utility (see Reinitializing the Hub on page 38).

Resetting

The RESET button on the front panel may be used to reset the serial hub. Pushing this
button will cause an immediate reboot.
You may also reset (reboot) the hub using the web interface (see Rebooting the Hub
on page 30) or the configuration utility (see Rebooting the Hub on page 38).
