Switch Reboot
You can reboot the AT-GS950/24 switch by either pressing the front panel
eco-friendly switch between 5 to 9 seconds or by using the Normal reboot
function provided in the AT-S109 management software.
In addition to rebooting the switch, you have the option to reset the
AT-GS950/24 switch configuration parameters to the original factory
default settings. There are two ways to accomplish this:
Press the front panel ecofriendly button for more than 10 seconds
and release it.
Reboot the switch in the AT-S109 management software and
follow the procedures to reset to factory defaults. See “Switch
Reboot” on page 31 and “Configure Factory Default Values” on
page 32 for more information.
Refer to the AT-GS950 Installation guide for more information about
how to use the eco-friendly button to reboot or reset the switch.
The AT-S109 Management software default values are listed in the
AT-GS950 Web User Guide.

Protection of

Factory Reset

If your switch is located in a controlled environment such as a locked
switching closet or limited access equipment room, it may be desirable to
have the ability to easily reset the switch to factory defaults at any time by
using either the front panel ecofriendly switch or the AT-S109
management software.
However, if your switch is installed in an uncontrolled environment, you
may want to protect the switch’s configuration from unwanted or
accidental resets. The AT-S109 management software allows you to
disable the factory default reset feature and lock it with your own
password. When this is done, two areas are affected:
The reset and factory default reset features on the front panel
ecofriendly switch are disabled.
The factory default reset feature in the AT-S109 management
software is disabled. However, you can still reset the switch via the
management software without affecting the switch’s configuration.
The factory default reset can be enabled again by using the password that
you initially defined when disabling this function.
