6. R ESET TO F ACTORY D EFAULTS
Use this option to restore the Affinity Port Card you’re communicating with to its
original factory configuration (see Appendix A for a full list of factory-default
configuration settings). There are several reasons you might want to do this. For
example:
• to recover from losing a configuration password;
•
to more quickly reconfigure a daisychained Affinity for standalone operation; or
• to erase sensitive or invalid configuration information.

You should restore all of the Port Cards in an Affinity if you restore one, because
an Affinity whose cards are configured differently will probably malfunction. To do
this, simply turn the Affinity off and back on again; the configuration will
automatically be copied to the other Port Cards in the unit.
To go one step further and restore all of the Affinity units in a daisychained
system (which, once you’ve restored one board, we highly recommend), press
[Ctrl][F12] on the keyboard at one of the user stations attached to the Affinity
you’ve just restored. This will bring up the configuration menu. Select Save to save
the default configuration to all of the Affinity units in the system.
