Reset configuration
If you have forgotten the Admin PIN code, the only way to reset it to default is to do a hard
factory reset. This is the same as the Factory reset in the system menu (
> SYSTEM > FACTORY
RESET).
This erases all settings including account information and contacts!
Disconnect the power supply cable. Note that this is the same as the network cable if the
phone uses Power over Ethernet.
Press and hold the button while you connect the cable again (Restarts the Avaya B179).
Hold the button pressed until the SYSTEM RECOVERY menu is shown on the display.
You can press any other button than 1, 2, or 3 to start the phone without resetting.
Press 1 to select Reset configuration and confirm with OK.
Upgrade to the latest version of the software when the phone has started and redo the
setup of account and other settings.

erased.
Export a configuration file if local settings should be saved and export the contacts if
these are stored in the unit.
