UC-7400 Hardware User’s Manual

Introduction

Reset Button

Pressing the Reset button initiates a hardware reboot. The button plays the same role as a desktop PC’s reset button.

In normal use, you should NOT use the Reset Button. You should only use this function if the software is not working properly. To reset an embedded linux system, always use the software reboot command />reboot to protect the integrity of data being transmitted or processed.

Reset to default Button

Press the Reset to default button continuously for at least 5 seconds to load the factory default configuration. After the factory default configuration has been loaded, the system will reboot automatically. The Ready LED will blink on and off for the first 5 seconds, and then maintain a steady glow once the system has rebooted.

We recommend that you only use this function if the software is not working properly and you want to load factory default settings. To reset an embedded linux system, always use the software reboot command />reboot to protect the integrity of data being transmitted or processed. The Reset to default button is not designed to hard reboot UC-7400.

ATTENTION

Reset to default preserves user’s data

The Reset to default button will NOT format the user directory and erase the user’s data. Pressing the Reset to default button will only load the configuration file. All files in the /etc directory will revert to their factory defaults, but other User Data will still exist in the Flash ROM.

“Reset to Default” is not supported by UC-7420/7410 hardware versions V1.0

The Reset to default button is not supported by UC-7420/7410 hardware version V1.0. You can identify the hardware version from UC-7420/7410’s lower label. You need to contact MOXA to determine the product’s hardware version. When contacting our customer support team, you will need to provide the product’s Serial Number (S/N) that is found on UC-7420/7410’s lower label.
