Appendix A. Factory Reset Procedure
The FireBrick has a simple factory reset process to erase the configuration allowing you to reconnect using the
default IP addresses described in Chapter 2. This process can be very useful if you ever make an error in the
configuration that stops you having access to the FireBrick for any reason, or any other situation where it is
appropriate to start from scratch.
• Disconnect all network and power leads :-
• Connect lead between far left and far right ports (ports 1 and 4) :-
• Connect power and wait a few seconds for all port LEDs to be on steadily. Power LED blinks :-
• Disconnect loop, leave power connected. LEDs cycle and power LED blinks :-
Note
There is a timeout of 20 seconds in this process - if the loop is present for longer than 20 seconds,
the power LED will stop flashing and the factory reset will be aborted
