Factory Reset

It is possible to reset IPCorder to its factory defaults in section

Settings – System – Factory reset

. This can be

useful in situations when the device cannot be accessed by other means or when it is sold. The factory reset
erases all data on disk/disks and all settings are reset to their default values

Before you start the process of

Factory reset

you should make sure that the power supply for the device is

stable as the device must be on for the duration of reset process. A power failure before the reset is finished
can cause damage to the device.

By clicking the

Factory reset

the system is restarted in rescue mode. In the rescue mode navigate to the

Factory Reset

page. Select reset options as required:

settings and

Preserve storage configuration

to preserve disk storage.

Factory Reset

button the systems starts with erasing data. This can take a while and you
