Factory Default
Settings
Should you wish to reset the AXIS 540/640 to the factory default 
settings, the best way to do this is to use the Test button. This 
procedure involves switching the AXIS 540/640 off and on.
1. Remove the power cord to switch off the AXIS 540/640.
2. Press and hold down the Test button. Whilst continuing to press 
the Test button, simultaneously switch on the AXIS 540/640 by 
replacing the power cord. Keep the Test button pressed for at least 
20 seconds after restoring power until the Network indicator 
flashes at one second intervals.
3. Release the Test button and wait at least five seconds (five 
indicator flashes).
4. Press and hold the Test button again for at least five seconds until 
the Network indicator remains constantly lit.
The AXIS 540/640 is now reset to factory default settings. Restart the 
AXIS 540/640 by switching it off and on.
Note: The Node address parameter NODE_ADDR will remain unchanged, 
but all other parameters are reset. Should you wish to change the 
Node address, you may do so via the General Property page, using 
AXIS NetPilot.
