Chapter 6: Resetting to Factory Defaults
In some circumstances, it may be necessary to reset the W30 hardware to the state it was in
when it left the factory. This is known as a
reset to factory defaults .
With the W30, a factory reset is only possible via the software boot menu . There is no manual
reset button on the hardware itself. The boot menu can only be accessed through the local CLI
console after the W30 is powered up and can be entered by pressing any console key before cOS
Core has fully started.
Note: Any console password will be reset to no password
If a console password was set this will also be reset to the factory default of no password.
If required, the console password should be set later by choosing the boot menu option
Enable Console Password .
Performing a Boot Menu Reset
The W30 does not provide a hardware reset button on the hardware unit itself. Instead, the reset
is done by entering the hardware's
boot menu . A boot menu reset is done with the following
steps:
1. Make sure a separate management computer running as a console is attached to the local
console port of the W30.
2. Power up the W30 unit. This may require a restart if the hardware is already powered up.
3. As the first console output appears, press any console key before cOS Core has fully started.
4. The boot menu will now be displayed on the console.
5. Choose the menu item Reset Options.
6. Various reset options are now displayed on the console. For a full reset, select the menu
option Reset to Factory Defaults.
A complete description of the boot menu and its options can be found in the separate cOS Core
Administrators Guide .
