The restore begins.
CAUTION
Risk of equipment damage!
►
Once a restore begins, do not interrupt the process by removing the USB flash drive, disconnecting the
power, or pressing the backup and restore button again. If you do not allow the restore to complete, the
controller could be left in a non-functional state.
When the restore successfully completes, the backup and restore LED turns OFF and the system displays
a message indicating that the restore is complete and that the controller requires a reset.
Step 12: Turn the controller's power OFF and back ON again.
Restoring Factory Defaults
The process of restoring factory defaults returns the HAWK 8000 to the state it was in when it shipped from the
factory. This procedure describes the steps to restore factory defaults when using a terminal emulator program to
access the controller's system shell menu.
Prerequisites:
• A USB-to-Micro USB cable (same cable as that used to connect a smart phone to a computer) connecting the
HAWK 8000 to your PC. The Debug port on a HAWK 8000 is a standard Micro-A type USB port for debugging
serial communications.
• A terminal emulator (system shell program), such as PuTTY, installed on your PC.
CAUTION
Risk of equipment damage!

Recovering factory defaults removes all platform and station data in the HAWK 8000. Be sure to backup data prior
to performing this procedure.
The following are a few scenarios for which you might choose to restore factory defaults:
• While commissioning a brand new HAWK 8000, you make an error entering the default platform daemon
credentials or passphrase. The result is that you cannot commission the HAWK 8000. In this scenario, your only
recovery option is to restore the factory defaults.
• When decommissioning the HAWK 8000, a best practice to follow is recovering the factory defaults in order to
wipe all of the platform and station data in the HAWK 8000.
