The reset switch can be found behind a “toothpick
hole” on the back panel. It performs two
functions:
Software downloading or update in progress.
Lights flash sequentially from top to bottom.
Standby – The modem is in the Standby mode. There is no connection to the Internet. The
CABLE LINK light is on and the PC LINK light is on if a computer is connected.
•
Basic Reset
– Press and release the switch to make it perform the same function as
disconnecting the power from the modem. It will start up again in Initialization Mode, see
page 24.
•
Factory Default Reset
– Unplug the modem from the AC power. Press and hold the reset
switch while plugging the modem into AC power. Continue holding the switch. Release the
switch when all lights come on (about 6 seconds). This will return the modem to a factory
“out of box” condition.
This should only be done if the cable modem has been taken out
of service in one location and is being reconnected to a different service, or if
instructed to do so by your cable company.
