An example of the Unit Settings tab of the AP is shown in Figure 84.
Figure 84: Unit Settings tab of AP, example
The Unit Settings tab of the AP contains an option for how the AP should react when it
detects a connected override plug. You may set this option as follows.
Set to Factory Defaults Upon Default Plug Detection
If Enabled is checked, then an override/default plug functions as a default plug. When
the module is rebooted with the plug inserted, it can be accessed at the IP address
169.254.1.1 and no password, and all parameter values are reset to defaults.
A subscriber, technician, or other person who gains physical access to the module and
uses an override/default plug cannot see or learn the settings that were previously
configured in it. When the module is later rebooted with no plug inserted, the module
uses the new values for any parameters that were changed and the default values for
any that were not.
If Disabled is checked, then an override/default plug functions as an override plug. When
the module is rebooted with the plug inserted, it can be accessed at the IP address
169.254.1.1 and no password, and all previously configured parameter values remain
and are displayed. A subscriber, technician, or other person who gains physical access
to the module and uses an override/default plug can see and learn the settings. When the
module is later rebooted with no plug inserted, the module uses the new values for any
parameters that were changed and the previous values for any that were not.
See Overriding Forgotten IP Addresses or Passwords on AP, SM, or BH on Page 379.
