“ G-Key Reset” Procedure

You may reset the terminal software settings by using the G-Key Reset procedure:

•Turn on power and upon hearing the first beep immediately press the G key. The beep occurs coincident with expansion of the splash screen to full window size. The Login dialog box displays only if security is enabled, in which case enter a valid administrator or user login name and password.

or

•If security is enabled, after turning on power you may wait until the Login dialog box displays. Press Ctrl+G and then enter a valid administrator or user login name and password.

Follow the prompts displayed on the screen.

Note

Your security access level may limit the resets available to you. Refer to the on-line help documentation for details.

Note

If the screen display becomes disabled because a resolution or refresh rate incompatible with your monitor has been selected, power on the terminal and press the S key when you hear the beep. This will restore the display settings to 640x480 at 60 Hz (default), with which virtually all monitors can operate.

Note

If you converted the boot model to network boot and want to return to local boot, power on the terminal and press the L key when you hear the beep. This will permanently restore the boot model to local boot. To go back to network boot, repeat step 6 of the above procedure. The G-key reset does not reset the L-key action.
