You should now see the MAIN MENU screen.

Note: The management session automatically times out when the time period set in the Administrator Inactivity Timer field expires (default five minutes). Simply log back into the G-1000 if this happens to you.

3.2 Resetting the G-1000

If you forget your password or cannot access the web configurator, you will need to reload the factory-default configuration file or use the RESET button on the side panel of the G-1000. Uploading this configuration file replaces the current configuration file with the factory- default configuration file. This means that you will lose all configurations that you had previously. The password will be reset to 1234.

3.2.1 Procedure To Use The Reset Button

Make sure the SYS LED is on (not blinking) before you begin this procedure.

1Press the RESET button for ten seconds or until the SYS LED, LINK LED or BDG/ RPT LED turns red, and then release it. If the SYS LED begins to blink, the defaults have been restored and the G-1000 restarts. Otherwise, go to step 2.

2Turn the G-1000 off.

3While pressing the RESET button, turn the G-1000 on.

4Continue to hold the RESET button. The SYS LED will begin to blink and flicker very quickly after about 20 seconds. This indicates that the defaults have been restored and the G-1000 is now restarting.
