REBOOTING THE MODEM WITH THE RESET BUTTON

The reset button on the back panel of your modem is provided to reboot the modem without the need to remove power.

Under normal circumstances, you will not have to use the reset button. On rare occasions, however, your modem may not respond. In this case, you need to perform a reset to get your modem running properly again (see “Rebooting the Modem” on page 5-14for information about rebooting the modem from the Web Interface, and “Rebooting the Modem” on page A-29for information about rebooting the modem from the Command Line Interface).

To perform a reboot:

Step Action

1Use the tip of an unfolded paper clip (or similar object without a sharp tip) to gently press the Reset button on the back panel of your modem for less than 5 seconds (see Figure 1-4). The modem then reboots.

IMPORTANT Holding down on the Reset button for MORE than 5 seconds resets the modem to its

!factory default settings, essentially clearing all of your current configuration settings. For detailed information about resetting the modem’s factory defaults:

•Using the Web Interface, see “Reset to Factory Defaults using the Web Interface” on page 9-13.

•Using the reset button on the back panel of the modem, see “Reset to Factory Defaults using the Reset Button” on page 9-14.

•Using the Command Line Interface, see “Restoring Factory Defaults” on page A-27.
