Partial Reset
The partial reset provides a way to contact the Mediatrix unit in a known and static state while
keeping most of the configuration unchanged.
A partial reset can be performed at the initial start-up of the Mediatrix unit or on a unit already
in use where the configuration was modified in such a way that the user can longer access the
system by the web page or otherwise. In both cases, the user will access the Rescue Interface with
the Rescue Network Interface using either a static IPv4 address (192.168.0.1 ) or an IPv6 Link Local
address connection. These connections give access to the Rescue Management Interface where the
configuration of a new unit can be completed and where an existing configuration can be modified.
By default the Rescue Network Interface is disabled. When a partial reset is performed, the
Rescue network Interface becomes enabled. Once the configuration has been modified to solve the
problem that required the partial reset, it is important to access the Management interface using
the Network Interface Configuration defined for your set-up, and to disable the Rescue Network
Interface to make sure that you are no longer working in the Rescue Network Interface.
Performing a partial reset on a new unit will not modify the configuration, as it has not yet been
modified to your needs. However, a partial reset performed on a unit already in use will:
•
Cancel the changes that were being modified but not yet applied to the configuration.
•
Disable any Network Interface in conflict with the Network Rescue Interface.
•
Configure and enable the Rescue Network Interface to:
•
use the Eth1 link, or the same link as the one used by the Uplink Network Interface.
•
set the IP address to 192.168.0.1 and the Network Mask to 255.255.255.0.
•
set the IPv6 link-local address on all network links. The IPv6 link-local address can be found
underneath the unit.
A partial reset will also modify the following parameters to their default value:
