Using the CFG RESET Switch at Power-On
In the event you forget the network configuration that a particular serial
ENET interface is using, you can reset the unit to its default network
characteristics. By pressing and holding the CFG RESET switch while
you power on the serial ENET interface, the network parameters revert to
the default settings as defined on the baseplate label.
You must press and hold the switch for approximately three seconds until
the
PWR/RDY LED becomes solid red. If you release the switch prior to
three seconds, no change occurs to the network configuration, and the
serial ENET interface continues to boot normally.
The PWR/RDY LED goes through the following changes during these
three seconds:
1. The LED begins slowly alternating between red and yellow.
2. The alternating pattern increases in tempo.
3. At three seconds, the
PWR/RDY LED becomes steady red. This
indicates the network configuration will be set to the factory
default settings.
4. When you release the CFG RESET switch, the box continues to
boot as normal, and the PWR/RDY LED indicates the boot
process as described in ENET LED Descriptions .
