Setting the Mode Switch

NOTE

After changing the position of switch 6, DO NOT reapply power to the chassis or reset the module until there is a station acting as a BootP server, which contains the image file.

Switch 6 – After changing the position of switch 6 and restarting the module, the 6E12X-26 and 6E13X-25 request a new image download until they either receive a new image or the RESET button on the front panel is pressed. When the RESET button is pressed, the 6E12X-26 and 6E13X-25 continue trying to contact a BootP server, but will time out in approximately one minute. If the module times out, the image is downloaded from its FLASH memory.

Switch 7 – Clear NVRAM. Changing the position of this switch resets NVRAM on either the next power up or the next operation of the front panel RESET switch. ALL user-entered parameters, such as IP addresses, subnet masks, SNMP traps, and bridging functions are restored to their factory default settings.

Switch 8 – Reset Password/Community Strings. Changing the position of this switch clears only the user-entered passwords stored in NVRAM, and restores the default passwords. Once the 6E12X-26 and 6E13X-25 are reset, the passwords can either be reentered or the default passwords (Public and ENTER) may be used.

NOTE

Do not change the position of switch 8 unless it is necessary to reset the module super-user configured passwords to their factory default settings.
