Alcatel Carrier Internetworking Solutions 1000 ADSL manual Ping-to-Defaults Procedure

Note:

You may also leave the entry in the ARP cache; it does not affect modem operation.

Note:

The modem and the PC must be in the same IP (sub)network. Otherwise, the ping is issued with the MAC address of the default router.

Ping-to-Defaults Procedure

If the modem configuration is incorrect, the Ping-to-Defaults procedure can be used to restore default settings.

The technique is identical to that used for the Ping-of-Life procedure, except that a different MAC address (01-90-D0-00-01-FF) is used.

Execute the following steps to reset the modem to its default settings:

1. Add the following to the arp cache:

arp -a <any IP address> 01-90-D0-00-01-FF

2.Reset the modem and wait for the self test to end.

3.Ping the IP address:

ping <any IP address>

Note:

Using the Ping-to-Defaults procedure overwrites previously configured modem settings.
