Master Hub Setup and Management

70

If the hub stack has a backup master, the time required to complete the re-
set process will be longer than without one. Generally, a stack reset should
be complete within about two minutes.

System Reset

To perform a system reset, follow these steps:

1.

Choose System Reset from the main menu. The following confir-
mation message will appear:

DFE-2600 Stackable Hub - System Reset

Are you sure you want to reset? No

Yes

2.

Move the cursor to Yes to confirm the reset and press

<Enter>.

After a few seconds delay, the hub should restart.

Factory Reset

Before performing a factory reset, be absolutely certain that this is what
you want to do. Once the reset is done, all of the master hub’s stored set-
