Installation and configuration 20
Reinitializing the SCS
Reinitializing the SCS removes configured information, which can be useful when reinstalling the unit at another
location in your network. You can erase the configuration database, which contains all nonvolatile data except the IP
address, subnet mask, and gateway. You can also erase both the configuration database and the network address
information.
To reinitialize the SCS hardware:
1.
Locate the recessed init button on the front of the SCS.
2.
Insert the end of the opened paper clip in the recess, and press and hold the button. The online LED blinks,
indicating an initialization has been requested. You have approximately seven seconds to release the button
before any action is taken.
After seven seconds, the online LED blinks more rapidly to confirm that the SCS configuration database has
been erased. Continuing to hold the init button for a few more seconds erases the IP address as well. The online
LED blinks faster to confirm the deletion.
If any portion of FLASH is erased, the SCS reboots when the init button is released.
To reinitialize the SCS with a command:
1.
Issue the
Server Init
command with the
Config
parameter if you want to erase the configuration database
but retain the network address information.
server init config
-or-
Use the
all
parameter if you want to erase the configuration database and the network address information.
server init all
2.
Confirm or cancel the operation when prompted. The SCS reboots after initializing the database and copying it
to the configuration FLASH.
