Equinox ESP Multi-Interface Serial Hub Product Installation Guide
1.4 INIT and RESET Buttons
The INIT button can be used to remove configured information from an
ESP unit. The ESP stores nonvolatile data such as SNMP community
name, system contact and IP address in FLASH. This information can be
erased by pressing the INIT button.
NOTE:
Pressing the INIT button will interrupt ESP operation and cause
reinitialization to occur.
The FLASH erase is performed in two phases. The first phase erases the
configuration database, which contains all nonvolatile data
except
the IP
address. The second phase erases the IP address and effectively restores
the ESP to factory default. This feature can be used to erase the FLASH
when the ESP is being reinstalled elsewhere on your network.
When the INIT button is first pressed, the ONLINE LED will begin to
blink to confirm that you have pressed the INIT button. Pressing and
holding the button for five seconds erases the configuration database in
the ESP FLASH. When the database has been erased, the ONLINE LED
begins to flash rapidly. If you release the INIT button before the five
second mark, no action is taken, and the ESP does not reinitialize.
If the button is pressed and held for an additional five seconds, the IP
address is also erased.
If any portion of the FLASH is erased, the ESP will reboot itself when
the INIT button is released.
The RESET button can be used to reset the ESP. Pushing this button will
cause an immediate reboot.
