Resetting a Hub to Factory Default
Settings

Resetting the hub to the factory default settings removes any configuration
changes that you have made since installing the device, and restores the
factory defaults. The IP address is also removed; you must enter an IP
address before the device will operate on your network, unless you have
Bootp or DHCP.

Producing a Configuration Report

The Configuration Report displays information about the current settings on
your device. You can use your browser’s capabilities to print a copy of the
report or save it to a file. See the online help for a more detailed explanation
of this report.
