made to the Configuration and Administration pages

 

(except for the Port Names that were assigned to the Ports

 

- see Set Ports, p. 33) and returns the parameters to the

 

original factory default settings (see Factory Default

 

Settings, p. 81).

This function is similar to Reset Values. The difference is

 

that it also clears the Port Name settings at the same time

 

that it undoes all changes and returns the setup to the

 

original factory default settings.
