NOTICE
Connection hazard - risk of communication failure
Depending on the configuration of your network, a reset device can cause circular frames and
thus the loss of data traffic.
NOTICE
Configuration hazard - risk of data loss
If a CLP is inserted in the device, the CLP is also reset to default settings.
Note
When you reset the device to the default settings, all configurations are deleted, including:
• The IP address
• The created user
• The passwords
• The user-defined keys and certificates
Following this, the device can only be reached via the serial interface.
If you assign an IP address to the device via DHCP or DCP (e.g. SINEC PNI), you can access the CLI
and WBM of the device via a network connection with a preset user profile.
Requirement
• The device is in operation.
• The "Reset to factory defaults" button function is enabled.
You can enable or disable this button function. For more information, refer to "Additional
documentation (Page 8)".
