Maintenance

To recover the ETEP following zeroization:

Wait approximately 20 minutes for the zeroization process to complete. If you are connected to the ETEP through the serial port, you will see the following message:

Power cycle required to reboot appliance

After cycling the power, you will be able to configure and manage the ETEP from its factory default settings. If you cycle the power prior to the completion of the zeroization process the appliance will enter an unrecoverable state, which requires returning the ETEP to the factory.
