The Reset Button
Briefly pressing the Reset Button or rebooting the Gateway will refresh the
Gateway’s connections. If the Gate w ay locks up, simply press the Reset Button
or power it down for three to five seconds. Leaving the power off for too long
could result in the loss of network connections.
Pressing the Reset Button and holding it in for a few seconds will clear all of
the Gateway’s data and restore the factory defaults. This should be done only
if you are experiencing heavy routing problems, and only after you have
exhausted all of the other troubleshooting options. By resetting the Gateway,
you run the risk of creating conflicts between your PCs’actual IP Addresses
and what the Gateway thinks their IPAddresses should be. You may be forced
to reboot each network PC.
