Cable 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 X5 and X10 and the other
between Ethernet ports X6 and X9. 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. Check 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 one of the
Ethernet cables. The ON LED will stop flashing. This initiates the factory reset
process, and the unit will restart with factory default settings.
• 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 any of the Ethernet cables. The
switch will conduct a normal boot with the existing settings.
