Resetting Configuration Parameters

Resetting Configuration Parameters

You can reset the Device Server to its factory settings through any of the following methods:

zYou can push in the recessed button at the back of the Device Server hardware

zDeviceManager, select Tools, Reset to Factory Defaults

zCLI, at the command line type, reset factory

zWebManager, click the Factory Defaults button

zMenu, select Network Configuration, Reset to Factory Defaults

zSNMP, in the adminInfo folder, Set the adminFunction variable to 2

Lost Admin Password

If the Admin user password is lost, there are only two possible ways to recover it:

zreset the Device Server to the factory defaults

zhave another user that has admin level rights, if one is already configured, reset the Admin password

DHCP/BOOTP

You can use DHCP/BOOTP to perform the following actions on a single or multiple Device Servers on bootup:

zauto-configure with minimal information; for example, only an IP address

zauto-configure with basic setup information (IP address, subnet/prefix bits, etc.)

zdownload a new version of firmware

zdownload a full configuration file

DHCP/BOOTP is particularly useful for multiple installations: you can do all the Device Server’s configuration in one DHCP/BOOTP file, rather than configure each Device Server manually. Another advantage of DHCP/BOOTP is that you can connect a Device Server to the network, turn on its power and let autoconfiguration take place. All the configuration is carried out for you during the DHCP/BOOTP process.

DHCP/BOOTP Parameters

The following parameters can be set in the DHCP/BOOTP bootp file:

zSW_FILE—The full path, pre-fixed by hostname/IP address (IPv4 or IPv6), and file name of the firmware update.

zCONFIG_FILE—The full path, pre-fixed by hostname/IP address (IPv4 or IPv6), and file name of the configuration file. Note: these parameters include clear text user passwords.

zGUI_ACCESS—Access to the Device Server from the HTTP WebManager. Values are on or off.

zSECURITY—Restricts Device Server access to devices listed in the Device Server’s host table. Values are yes or no.

zTFTP_RETRY—The number of TFTP attempts before aborting. This is a numeric value, for example, 5.

zTFTP_TMOUT—The time, in seconds, before retrying a TFTP download/upload. This is a numeric value, for example, 3.
