Figure 4-2 RESET Button

To reset the 6E233-49 SmartSwitch processor, press and release the RESET button. The module processor goes through a reset process of approximately 20 seconds. Additional downtime may be added as the module reenters the network.

NOTE

It is not recommended to press the RESET button while the module is already in reset mode. The module will enter an extended diagnostic procedure, which is unnecessary for normal operation. This procedure will take much longer than a minute. The ESC key can be used to exit the procedure.
