Factory reset
it is possible to set the unit to factory default settings by using two standard ethernet
M12 cables.
1. Power off the switch and disconnect all ethernet cables.
2. Connect one ethernet cable between ethernet ports X1 and X6, and the other
between ethernet ports X2 and X5. The ports need to be connected directly by an
ethernet cable, i.e., not via a hub or switch. Use a straight cable – not a cross-over
cable – when connecting the ports.
3. Power on the unit.
4. Wait for the unit to start up. Control that the ON LeD is flashing red.
The ON LeD flashing indicates that the unit is now ready to be reset to factory
default.
You now have the choice to go ahead with the factory reset, or to skip factory reset and
boot as normal.
• Go ahead with factory reset:
Acknowledge that you wish to conduct the factory reset by unplugging the ethernet
cables. The ON LeD will stop flashing.
This initiates the factory reset process*, the unit will restart with factory default
settings. When the switch has booted up, the ON LeD will show a green light, and is
now ready to use.
• skip the factory reset:
To skip the factory reset process, just wait for approximately 30 seconds
(after the ON LeD starts flashing reD) without unplugging the ethernet cables.
The switch will conduct a normal boot with the existing settings.
*
Note
Do not power off the unit while the factory reset process is in progress.
