Reset conguration
If you have forgotten the Admin PIN code, the only way to reset it to default is to do a
hard factory reset. This is the same as the Factory reset in the system menu ( > SYSTEM
> FACTORY RESET).
This erases all settings including account information and contacts!
Disconnect the power supply cable. Note that this is the same as the network cable if
the phone uses Power over Ethernet.
Press and hold the button while you connect the cable again (i.e. starts the Avaya
B179). Hold the button pressed until the SYSTEM RECOVERY menu is shown on the
display.
You can press any other button than 1, 2, or 3 to start the phone without resetting.
Press 1 to select Reset conguration and conrm with OK.
Upgrade to the latest version of the software when the phone has started and redo the
setup of account and other settings (see page 7).

This replaces the current software with the one supplied with the phone. All settings are
erased.
Export a conguration le (page 47) if local settings should be saved and export the
contacts (page 53) if these are stored in the unit.
Disconnect the power supply cable. Note that this is the same as the network cable if
the phone uses Power over Ethernet.

B179). Hold the button pressed until the SYSTEM RECOVERY menu is shown on the
display.
