Close all connections, then press and hold the CFG RESET switch and wait
approximately three seconds until the
PWR/RDY
LED becomes solid red.
If you release the switch prior to three seconds, the serial device server
continues to operate normally.
The
PWR/RDY
LED goes through the following changes during these
three seconds:
1.
The LED begins slowly alternating between red and yellow.
2.
The alternating pattern increases in tempo.
3.
At three seconds, the
PWR/RDY
LED becomes steady red.
This indicates the serial device server is ready to enter network
configuration mode.
4.
Now release the CFG RESET switch. The
PWR/RDY
LED alternates
rapidly between red and yellow to indicate the serial device server is
now in network configuration mode.
This mode remains in effect until you switch off the serial device server
or you use NI Ethernet device configuration to change its network
characteristics.
Using the CFG RESET Switch at Power-On
In the event you forget the network configuration that a particular serial
device server is using, you can reset the unit to its default network
characteristics. By pressing and holding the CFG RESET switch while you
power on the serial device server, the network parameters revert to the
default settings as defined on the baseplate label.
You must press and hold the switch for approximately three seconds until
the
PWR/RDY
LED becomes solid red. If you release the switch prior to
three seconds, no change occurs to the network configuration, and the serial
device server continues to boot normally.
The
PWR/RDY
LED goes through the following changes during these
three seconds:
1.
The LED begins slowly alternating between red and yellow.
2.
The alternating pattern increases in tempo.
3.
At three seconds, the
PWR/RDY
LED becomes steady red. This
indicates the network configuration will be set to the factory default
settings.
