To reset the system, go to the
Reset
menu and open the following configuration page:
This page provides two options :
Ø
Reboot Only
– Reboot the system. All configuration settings will be retained to the latest
changes before the reboot procedure. If you want to keep your configuration, select this option.
Ø

IP address; only the MAC address will not be changed) to default settings before rebooting the
system. All customized settings will be lost and unless manually reentered, will not be
recoverable.

the

Ø

on),
pressing and holding the Reset button while turning the power on to the system until the
DIAG LED indicator start s to flash
will activate the

After the procedure mentioned above is done,
the switch will reboot and initialize using the default
