After saving a local configuration backup, you may choose to use it as the alternate default configuration.
When the console server is reset to factory defaults, it will load your alternate default configuration
instead of its factory settings:
To set an alternate default configuration, check
Load On Erase
and click
Apply
NOTE
Before selecting Load On Erase, ensure you have tested your alternate default configuration by
clicking Restore
If for some reason your alternate default configuration causes the console server to become
unbootable recover your unit to factory settings using the following steps:
•
If the configuration is stored on an external USB storage device, unplug the storage device and
reset to factory defaults as per section 10.1.
•
If the configuration is stored on an internal USB storage device reset to factory defaults using a
prepared USB storage device:
o
The USB storage device must be formatted with a Windows FAT32/VFAT file system
on the first partition or the entire disk, most USB thumb drives are already formatted
this way
o
The file system must have the volume label: OPG_DEFAULT
o
Insert this USB storage device into an external USB port on the console server and
reset to factory defaults as per section 10.1
After recovering your console server, ensure the problematic configuration is no longer selected
for Load On Erase
