Erasing the Configuration

RP614v4 Cable/DSL Router Reference Manual

Erasing the Configuration

It is sometimes desirable to restore the router to the factory default settings. This can be done by using the Erase function, which will restore all factory settings. After an erase, the router's password will be password, the LAN IP address will be 192.168.1.1, and the router's DHCP client will be enabled.

To erase the configuration, click the Erase button.

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 router. See “Restoring the Default Configuration and Password” on page 5-7.

Upgrading the Router Software

Note: Before upgrading the router software, use the router backup utility to save your configuration settings. Any router upgrade will revert the router settings back to the factory defaults. After completing the upgrade, you can restore your settings from the backup.

The routing software of the RP614v4 router is stored in FLASH memory, and can be upgraded as new software is released by NETGEAR. Upgrade files can be downloaded from the NETGEAR Web site. If the upgrade file is compressed (.ZIP file), you must first extract the binary (.BIN) file before sending it to the router. The upgrade file can be sent to the router using your browser.

Note: The Web browser used to upload new firmware into the RP614v4 router must support HTTP uploads. NETGEAR recommends using Microsoft Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator 4.0 or higher.

For example, Web servers serve Web pages, time servers serve time and date information, and game hosts serve data about other players’ moves. When a computer on your network sends a request for service to a server computer on the Internet, the requested service is identified by a service or port number. This number appears as the destination port number in the transmitted IP packets. For example, a packet that is sent with destination port number 80 is an HTTP Web server request Configuring Service Blocking by IP Address Range Configuring a User Defined ServiceScheduling When Blocking Will Be Enforced Viewing Logs of Web Access or Attempted Web Access Log action buttons are described in Table Content FilteringRefresh Click this button to refresh the log screenConfiguring E-Mail Alert and Web Access Log Notifications Day for sending log Viewing Router Status Information Chapter MaintenanceThis screen shows the following parameters MaintenanceRP614v4 Cable/DSL Router Reference Manual Router Status FieldsThis screen shows the following statistics MaintenanceRelease Click the Release button to release the DHCP leaseRP614v4 Cable/DSL Router Reference Manual MaintenanceRouter Statistics Items v3.1, JuneViewing a List of Attached Devices Configuration File ManagementRestoring and Backing Up the Configuration Upgrading the Router Software Erasing the ConfigurationChanging the Administrator Password 2.
