You can use either the reset button or the command line interface (CLI)
to reset the PX3.

energy data and firmware upgrade history are retained.

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 PX3 device. See Connecting the PX3 to a
Computer
(on page 32).
2. Launch a terminal emulation program such as HyperTerminal,
Kermit, or PuTTY, and open a window on the PX3. For information on
the serial port configuration, see Step 2 of
Initial Network
Configuration via CLI
(on page 812).
3. Press (and release) the Reset button of the PX3 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 PX3 to its factory defaults.
5. Wait until the Username prompt appears, indicating the reset is
complete.
These diagrams illustrate the reset button on Zero U models. Port
