Restoring Factory Default Settings
To reset the ePower to factory defaults:
1. Connect an RS-232D serial cable to the ePower unit’s RS-232
serial port, and open a terminal emulation program, as
described in the Initially Configuring the RS-232 Serial Port to
Use the CLI section in Chapter 2, “Installing the ePower PDU.”
2. Using a firm, thin object (such as the end of an unfolded paper clip),
press and hold the reset button for 1 to 2 seconds.
3. When the bootloader appears, press any key to interrupt the
bootloader. If successful, the
U-boot> prompt will appear.
If this prompt does not appear, repeat steps 2 and 3.
4. At the
U-boot> prompt, enter cfg_rst, then press Enter.
The unit starts booting as normal. During boot-up, the system
re-creates the appropriate databases and files.
CAUTION This step cannot be canceled after it starts. All the ePower
unit settings will be lost and reverted back to the factory defaults,
including outlet properties and user accounts. Perform this operation
only if absolutely necessary.
NOTE Due to recreating the various databases, the system may take a few
extra minutes to boot.
