Equinox ESP 10/100 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.
