Lightwave Communications 2X16 user manual System Maintenance Features, Setting Factory Defaults

Lightwave Communications PC ServerSwitch 2x16

7.0 System Maintenance Features

System Maintenance features include Flash Memory Update and Restore Factory Settings. These options require the system be taken out of service for maintenance.

The System Setup options are also accessible from the Main Menu Screen, by pressing the F1 key to access the System Setup submenu. System Options include System Flash Memory Update (F) and Load Factory Settings (F12). Other options listed there are for FUTURE USE and should not be attempted.

Caution: Do NOT use System Setup Options during normal operation, as these can erase all user-entered data and will require a system power reset to restore normal operation.

7.1Setting Factory Defaults

If it becomes necessary to reset the PC ServerSwitch 2x16 to its factory-set values, the users may do so from the System Setup menu. The System must be out of service during this procedure. All connections will be dropped, and all default values will be restored. The whole process takes less than 5 minutes.

1.Access the System Setup menu by pressing Cntl-Cntlon any attached keyboard, or pressing the Scroll Lock key twice.

2.Once at the System Setup menu, access the System Setup submenu by pressing the <F1> key.

3.Press the <F12> key. You are prompted "Are You Sure?", and then press the Y key to confirm that the PC ServerSwitch 2x16 parameters and server port names should be set to the factory default values. If not, press 'N' to exit this option.

4.The Display will change to 'Restoring Factory Defaults'. Then, the on-screen menu will temporarily disappear, and reappear at the main on-screen menu once the parameters are reset. The front LCD display will show "Save Database" when it is completing the update.

The ServerSwitch will not be able to switch to another port or pass keyboard/mouse signals during the reset to factory defaults.

7.2Flash Update Procedure

The flash update feature allows the user to install newer versions of operating software in the PC ServerSwitch 2x16 without removing the unit from its installation (the system must be removed from service, however). New software revisions will be released from time to time to add features to the PC ServerSwitch 2x16 or make changes for customer requests. Note that the users will not be able to switch server ports during the update. The whole process takes less than 10 minutes.

The binary file for the flash update can be downloaded from
