Resetting the Network Extender to Factory Defaults
The network extender supports a reset process that may be used to delete the current
configuration and return it to the factory defaults, including the default password.
Procedure
To return the network extender to its factory default configuration:
1. The reset button is located behind a small hole on the left side of the faceplate of
the network extender. Use a straightened paper clip to gently push the button and
let it go.
2. Wait a few seconds until the DS3 Port LEDs flash green starting at Port 1 and
ending at Port 2 (on an ETHX-2224-DS3 unit). Gently push the reset button again
within 3 seconds of port 1 or port 2 LED illumination. NVRAM is cleared, and all
configurations on the unit are set to the factory defaults.
Note – As mentioned previously, the factory default for mode is “Provider”. Therefore,
if the unit was a “Subscriber” unit before the reset, the mode must be changed back to
Subscriber mode after the reset is complete. The process of changing the mode is
described earlier in this manual.
