field.

field.
3. Click the
Accept
button to save this new value to the system on the target device.
Resetting the Master Controller to the Factory Defaults Configuration
Click the

button. Clicking the button resets the Master to its factory default state. Resetting to the
factory default state includes the following tasks:
Removing all security settings
Removing all user files and recreating the
administrator
and
netlinx
user accounts
Removing all roles and recreating the
All_Permissions
and
Studio
roles
Resetting the IP address to DHCP
Loading an empty NetLinx program
Once reset, the Master will be effectively in an out-of-box state.
NOTE: It may be necessary to refresh the browser window after the master has finished booting (click Refresh).

The
Devices
page (FIG. 85) contains information about the Master and any connected devices. Select a device from the Device List
and its information appears in the Device Information area. The information in this area is view-only, unless the device allows a
change to its device number. If so, you can change the device number on this page (see
Changing the Device Number on a Device
below for more information.) Masters also include a system number which a user can change with proper access (see
Changing
the System Number on the Master
below for more information.)
