Using the Reset Button
An RS-232 serial connection to a computer is required for using the
reset button.
To reset to factory defaults using the reset button:
1. Connect a computer to the BCM2 device via RS-232. See Making an
RS-232 or USB Connection.
2. Launch a terminal emulation program such as HyperTerminal,
Kermit, or PuTTY, and open a window on the BCM2. For information
on the serial port configuration, see step 2 of
With HyperTerminal
(on page 356).
3. Press (and release) the Reset button of the BCM2 device while
pressing the Esc key of the keyboard several times in rapid
succession. A prompt (=>) should appear after about one second.
4. Type
defaults to reset the BCM2 to its factory defaults.
5. Wait until the Username prompt appears, indicating the reset is
complete.
Note: HyperTerminal is available on Windows operating systems prior to
Windows Vista. For Windows Vista or later versions, you may use PuTTY,
which is a free program you can download from the Internet. See
PuTTY's documentation for details on configuration.
