10. At the prompt asking if the backup file’s passphrase is the same as the system passphrase for
the controller, type Y (yes) or N (no).
• If Yes , then the system passphrase entered in the earlier step is used to decode the
backup.
• If No , you must enter the passphrase for the backup file to decode the backup.
11. If you entered N in the previous step, at the prompt enter the passphrase for the backup file,
and confirm it.
The restore begins.
CAUTION: Once a restore begins, do not interrupt the process by removing the USB flash drive,
disconnecting the power, or pressing the backup and restore button again. If you do not allow
the restore to complete, the controller could be left in a non-functional state.
When the restore successfully completes, the backup and restore LED turns off and the system
displays a message indicating that the restore is complete and that the controller requires a
reset.
12. Turn the controller’s power off and back on again.

Restoring factory defaults
The process of recovering factory defaults returns the controller to the state it was in when it shipped
from the factory. This procedure describes the steps to recover factory defaults when using a terminal
emulator program to access the controller’s system shell menu.
Prerequisites:
• A USB-to-micro USB cable (same cable as that used to connect a smart phone to a computer)
connecting the controller to your PC. The Debug port on a controller is a standard Micro-A type
USB port for debugging serial communicaStions. For more details, refer to the JACE-8000 Install
and Startup Guide.
• A terminal emulator (system shell program), such as PuTTY, installed on your PC.
CAUTION: Recovering factory defaults removes all platform and station data in the controller. Be sure
to backup data prior to performing this procedure.
Following are a couple of scenarios for which you might choose to recover factory defaults:
