Restoring Default Settings - LifeSize Passport User Manual

Restoring Default Settings

Administrator preferences contain the configuration of the entire system. You may need to
reset the system to its default state to correct unknown problems you may be experiencing
or to return to a known configuration. You can reset the system from the user interface or
manually with the Reset button on the back of the codec.
Resetting a System from the User Interface
To reset the system from the user interface, follow these steps:
1. From the System Menu, access Administrator Preferences : System : System
Reset.
2. Enter the administrator password.
The system automatically reboots and the administrator password is reset to the default
value (1 2 3 4). The user password also resets to a blank password, enabling users to
access User Preferences without a password. The Initial Configuration screen appears.
You must complete the initial configuration screens to complete the reset.
Note: If you reset the system using a remote access method, you must complete the reset
from the user interface by navigating the initial configuration screens and pressing
OK on the remote control when prompted to save the configuration.
Resetting a System Using the Reset Button
If this reset fails or if you do not have access to the user interface, you can manually reset
the system using the Reset button on the back of the codec without removing power to the
system. You can also reset the system to default settings using the alternate software image
installed on the system. Typically, the alternate software image is the version the system
used before the last software upgrade.
Press and hold the reset button. The blue LED on the front of the codec changes color or
behavior approximately every five seconds until the LED turns solid blue. The following table
indicates the sequence of color and behavior changes that the LED exhibits and the
corresponding effect on the system when you release the reset button.
When the LED is This Color:
blue and red
Note: The LED may remain in this
state for more than 5 seconds.
Depending on your viewing angle,
the LED may appear purple.
