The Motorola PTP 500 point-to-point wireless Ethernet bridges have a special mode of operation
that allows the user to recover a unit from configuration errors or software image corruption.
Recovery mode is entered by depressing the Recovery Switch located on the underside of the PIDU
Plus while applying mains power, as shown in Section 3.3.2 “PIDU Plus - PTP 500 Series Bridge”.
The Recovery Switch should be held in the depressed state for between 10 and 20 seconds after
the application of mains power. The Ethernet LED will flash with 10 double flashes at power up
(following the release of the Recovery switch).
When in recovery mode the user will be able to access the unit via the Ethernet interface. The
Ethernet interface will have its IP address set to 169.254.1.1 (or 10.10.10.10 see Section 7.7.10
“Powering Up”). On connection to a unit in recovery mode the following screen is displayed
