Long Reset
If the operator can not access the RDL-3000 management interface (unknown IP,
username, and/or password), a long reset operation must be performed to provide
access the unit. The long reset provides an opportunity to login to the RDL-3000 using
the default IP, usernames and passwords. The long reset procedure requires local
access to the RDL-3000 PoE adapter to power-cycle the RDL-3000, and a PC with an
Ethernet cable and a Telnet client or Web browser.

Long Reset Using Telnet
Use the following steps to gain access to the RDL-3000 management interface. It is
recommended to use a clock display on the PC to ensure accurate timing.
Telnet
1.
Power-off the RDL-3000 PoE adapter and disconnect the local network Ethernet
cable. Use an Ethernet jumper cable to connect the PC directly to the PoE adapter
DATA (INPUT) Ethernet port. Prepare the PC for Telnet access by opening a
command prompt window on the PC and typing the following command.
Important: Do not press the Enter key until step 6.
telnet 192.168.25.2
2.
Power-ON the RDL-3000 system for the following amount of time:
S/N 125 and higher: Wait 20 seconds (window is 10 to 30 seconds)
S/N 100:
Wait 10 seconds (window is 5 to 15 seconds)
3.
Power-OFF the RDL-3000 system for 5 seconds.
4.
Power-ON to the RDL-3000 PoE adapter.
5.
Wait approximately 75 seconds, then press the ENTER key on the PC to start the
Telnet session. When the login prompt appears, there is a window of 30 seconds to
login using the default username (admin) and password (admin).
Note: You can also use Ping to identify when the management interface is active.
If a login prompt does not appear, re-enter the Telnet command during the 30
second interval. If this is not successful, repeat steps 1 to 4 using a wait time of 70 to
90 seconds).
If the operator does not login during this step, the RDL-3000 reboots
automatically after 30 seconds and is operational after an additional 75 seconds.
