For LS-XL LinkStation model
To initialize the LinkStation to its factory defaults, follow the procedure on the next page.
Notes:
• This method of initializing the LinkStation restores its IP address settings, Ethernet frame size
settings, and administrator (admin) password to their factory defaults. If you chose not to initialize
the administrator's password from the Web Admin interface, only the IP address and Ethernet
frame size settings are initialized. You can initialize other items from the Web Admin interface.
• If you do not want to initialize the admin password when you initialize the LinkStation, select
[Keep current admin password] in the [System] - [Restore/Erase] - [Restore Factory Defaults]
screen, and click [Save].
• If you choose to not initialize the admin password from the function button, you can no longer
configure the LinkStation if you forget the password! Write your password down and put it in a
safe place.
