Eicon Networks 1530 manual Saving and Resetting Configuration Settings

Saving and Resetting Configuration Settings

The web-based configuration interface makes it easy to save and restore configuration settings on the Eicon 1530. This is useful for backup purposes, or if you intend to maintain several different configurations. You can also reset all settings to factory defaults.

When you save the configuration settings, they are stored in a file on your computer.

Procedure

1.Log in to the Eicon 1530 as described in Accessing the Configuration Menu on page 31.

2.From the links at left, click ‘Maintenance’.

The maintenance menu appears with two options, ‘Firmware’ and ‘Configuration’.

3.Click ‘Configuration’ to display the ‘Configuration Maintenance’ page.

4.To save your configuration settings to disk, click ‘Backup’.

To restore a previously-saved configuration, click ‘Browse’, select the file, then click ‘Restore’. The backup file uses the extension .CFG.

To reset the Eicon 1530 to factory default settings, click ‘Reset factory settings’. Resetting the Eicon 1530 to factory defaults will erase all your configuration settings, including the system password. Consider backing up your current configuration before you reset to factory defaults, just in case.

Note: If you changed the LAN IP address of the Eicon 1530 from its default setting of 192.168.1.1, you will lose contact with the web configuration interface after the reset is complete. This is because the reset will return the Eicon 1530 to its default of 192.168.1.1. To regain access to the Eicon 1530, open the URL http://192.168.1.1.

You can also reset the box to factory settings by holding down the device Reset button for 15 seconds. See Resetting the Device via the Reset Button on page 30 for more information.
