See table 5 for a summary of the modes.
ATTENTION: Review the reset modes carefully. Using the wrong reset mode may result in unintended loss of flash memory programming, port reassignment, or a controller reboot.
NOTE: The reset modes listed in table 5 close all open IP and Telnet connections and close all sockets. Also, the modes shown are separate functions, not a continuation from Mode 1 to Mode 5.
