2.Reset the WiBox unit by cycling the unit's power (turning the power off and back on). Immediately upon resetting the device, enter three lowercase x characters (xxx).

Note: The easiest way to enter Setup Mode is to hold down the x key at the terminal (or emulation) while resetting the unit. You must do this within three seconds of resetting the WiBox.

At this point, the screen display is the same as when you use a Telnet connection. To continue, go to step 3 in Telnet Connection, above.

Exiting Setup Mode

You have two options:

‹To save all changes and reboot the device, select option 9 Save and exit from the Change Setup menu. All values are stored in nonvolatile memory.

‹To exit the configuration mode without saving any changes or rebooting, select option 8 Exit without save from the Change Setup menu.
