How do I reset a device?
It is possible to
reset
the device to its factory settings if you need to reconfig-
ure the device irrespective of any existing settings, or if it is impossible to con-
nect to the device.
The reset button offers two basic functions—boot (restart) and reset (to the
factory settings)—which are invoked by pressing the button for different
lengths of time. With the suitable setting, the behavior of the reset button can
be controlled.

Reset button
This option controls the behavior of the reset button when it is pressed:

Ignore: The button is ignored.

Please observe the following notice:
The settings 'Ignore' or 'Boot
only' makes it impossible to reset the configuration to the factory set-
tings with the reset button. If the password is lost for a device with
this setting, there is no way to access the configuration! In this case
the serial communications interface can be used to upload a new
firmware version to the device—this resets the device to its factory
settings, which results in the deletion of the former configuration.
Instructions on firmware uploads via the serial configuration interface
are available in the LCOS reference manual.
k
Boot only: With a suitable setting, the behavior of the reset button can
be controlled; the button is then ignored or a press of the button
prompts a restart only, however long it is held down.
k
Reset-or-boot (standard setting):
Press for less than 5 seconds to reboot.
Press for more than 5 seconds until all LEDs on the device light up for
the first time to restart while deleting the user-defined configuration.
