Erasing Configuration

The configuration settings of the CG814M Gateway are stored in a configuration file in the gateway. This file can be reverted to factory default settings. The procedures below explain how to do these tasks.

It is sometimes desirable to restore the gateway to the factory default settings. This can be done by using the Erase function.

1.To erase the configuration, from the Main Menu, under Maintenance select Set Password. Select Yes for Restore Factory Defaults and click Apply.

2.The gateway will then reboot automatically.

After an erase, the gateway's password will be password, the LAN IP address will be 192.168.0.1, and the router's DHCP client will be enabled.

Note: To restore the factory default configuration settings without knowing the login password or IP address, you must use the Default Reset button on the rear panel of the gateway.

1.Using a paper clip, depress and hold the Default Reset Button. All the numbered Ethernet LEDs will illuminate green.

2.Continue to depress the button for at least 5 seconds.

3.The gateway will reboot and clear its configuration information.
