Recovery Mode
The recovery mode restarts the Mediatrix 1204 in a known, static, and minimal state. It is used to recover from
a basic configuration error that prevents you to reach the unit through the network. It may serve as a last resort
before the Factory reset command. You must perform it in a closed network and on only one Mediatrix 1204
at a time, because the default IP address is the same on every unit.
The recovery mode is not intended to address configuration and/or software problems. For those types of
problems, you must use the Factory reset.

To trigger the Recovery Mode:
1. With a 10/100 Hub and two 10/100 BaseT Ethernet RJ-45 straight cables, connect both cables to
the hub; one of them is connected into the
Ethernet connector of the Mediatrix 1204 and the other
one links the computer to the hub.
Alternatively, you can connect a 10/100 BaseT Ethernet RJ-45 crossover cable into the Ethernet
connector of the Mediatrix 1204 and connect the other end to your computer.
2. Reconfigure the IP address of your computer to 192.168.0.10 and enter the Subnet Mask of
255.255.255.0 . Restart the computer.
3. Insert a small, unbent paper clip into the Default Settings switch hole located at the rear of the
Mediatrix 1204.
4. Hold the Default Settings switch between 5 and 10 seconds – until the LEDs start blinking.
5. Release the paper clip.
Only the Power and Ready LEDs should go on blinking to inform you that the recovery reset has
been performed.
In recovery mode, the provisioning source of the localHostConfigSource variable is set to default ,
meaning that the default factory setting is used.
The following variables use their default values in the MIBs:
• localHostAddress
• localHostPrimaryDns
• localHostSecondaryDns
• localHostDefaultRouter
• localHostSnmpPort
• localHostSubnetMask
• imagePrimaryHost
• imagePrimaryPort
• imageSecondaryHost
• imageSecondaryPort
• msHost
• msTrapPort
• syslogHost
• syslogPort
The following variables of the mediatrixMgmt group are all set to static:
• imageConfigSource
• configFileFetchingConfigSource
• msConfigSource
• syslogConfigSource
• sntpConfigSource
All the persistent MIB values are kept.
Note:
The procedure below assumes that you are performing it at run-time.
