You can configure the module such that, when it senses the override plug, it responds by
either
◦ resetting the LAN1 IP address to 169.254.1.1, allowing access through the
default configuration without changing the configuration, whereupon you will be
able to view and reset any non-default values as you wish.
◦ resetting all configurable parameters to their factory default values.
