Resetting the 56K LAN Modem to a Factory Default Setting
There are two types of resets you can perform, a normal reset and a factory reset.
■A normal reset will leave all user-entered configuration parameters unchanged.
Any active calls, however, will be terminated.
■A factory reset restores the 56K LAN Modem configuration to the factory
default settings listed in Appendix C. All user-entered parameters are lost.
To reset the 56K LAN Modem, do the following.
1From the 56K LAN Modem’s home page, select Maintenance.
2Select the type of reset you would like to perform, normal or factory.
Resetting the 56K LAN
Modem to the Factory
Defaults
If you are unable to access the LAN Modem’s main page because your computer
cannot communicate with the LAN Modem, you can restore the LAN Modem to
the factory default settings using the reset switch located on the unit’s back panel.
To reset the LAN Modem using the reset switch, do the following.
■Press and continue to hold in the reset button located on the back of the unit.
(You must continuously hold the reset button through three cycles of LED
flashing: Reset, Firmware Download mode, and Factory Default Reset.)
■After approximately ten seconds, the ALERT LED will begin to flash. This first
cycle indicates that the unit has been reset. This first reset is similar to a
power-cycle of the unit. In this case all user-entered information is maintained.
■The second cycle of ALERT LED flashing indicates that the unit has entered
firmware download mode.
■After the ALERT LED has flashed for the third cycle, you have successfully reset
the LAN Modem back to factory defaults.
■Release the reset button.
The LAN Modem reinitializes itself, and is reset back to the factory defaults. All
user-entered information will be erased.
■Restart your computer.
■Launch your Web browser.
