The recovery mode is not intended to address configuration and/or software problems. For those types of
problems, you must use the Factory reset.
 To trigger the Recovery Mode:
1. With a 10/100 Hub and two 10/100 BaseT Ethernet RJ-45 straight cables, connect both cables to
the hub; one of them is connected into the ETH1 connector of the Mediatrix 4100 and the other one
links the computer to the hub.
Alternatively, you can connect a 10/100 BaseT Ethernet RJ-45 crossover cable into the ETH1
connector of the Mediatrix 4100 and connect the other end to your computer.
2. Reconfigure the IP address of your computer to 192.168.0.10 and enter the Subnet Mask of
255.255.255.0. Restart the computer.
3. Insert a small, unbent paper clip into the Reset / Default switch hole located at the front of the
Mediatrix 4100.
4. Hold the Reset / Default switch between 5 and 10 seconds – until the LEDs start blinking.
5. Release the paper clip.
Only the Power and Ready LEDs should go on blinking to inform you that the recovery reset has
been performed.
In recovery mode, the provisioning source of the localHostConfigSource variable is set to default,
meaning that the default factory setting is used.
The following variables use their default values in the MIBs:
• localHostAddress
• localHostPrimaryDns
• localHostSecondaryDns
• localHostDefaultRouter
• localHostSnmpPort
• localHostSubnetMask
• imagePrimaryHost
• imagePrimaryPort
• imageSecondaryHost
• imageSecondaryPort
• msHost
• msTrapPort
• syslogHost
• syslogPort
The following variables of the mediatrixMgmt group are all set to static:
• imageConfigSource
• configFileFetchingConfigSource
• msConfigSource
• syslogConfigSource
• sntpConfigSource
All the persistent MIB values are kept.
In this mode, MGCP/NCS is deactivated. Only SNMP can be used to set the IP addresses listed
above and the protocol-specific IP addresses (all IP addresses located under the ipAddressConfig
folder in the MIB structure).
You can also download a software version, but you cannot download a configuration file.
Note: The procedure below assumes that you are performing it at run-time.
