This function provides users with a quick way of restoring the Weidmüller switch’s configuration to
factory defaults. It is also possible to define different actions for the reset button located in the front of
the switch.
Reset to Factory Defaults
The user has the possibility to restore to factory defaults both the running and startup (flash)
configuration but keeping the current IP address and username / password settings.
Behavior External Reset Button
Pressing the reset button located in front of the switch for more than five seconds will always restore
the running configuration of the switch to factory defaults but the user can also select if the startup
configuration is also restored to default values or not by this action.
Additionally, the user has the possibility to decide the effect of pushing the reset button for less than
five seconds: no action, reboot the switch, set the IP address factory default or both.
