Using the Cable Modem
Reset Switch
•
The reset switch can be found behind a
“toothpick hole” on the back panel. It
performs two functions:
1.
Basic Reset
– Press and release the
switch to make it perform the same
function as disconnecting the power
from the modem. It will start up
again in Initialization Mode.
2.
Factory Default Reset
– Unplug the
modem from the AC power. Press and
hold the reset switch while plugging
the modem into AC power. Continue
holding the button. Release the
button when all lights come on
(about 6 seconds). This will return the
modem to a factory “out of box”
condition.
This should only be
done if the cable modem has
been taken out of service in one
location and is being reconnected
to a different service, or if
instructed to do so by your cable
company.
