Restore a device configuration to factory default settings
Restoring a ConnectPort LTS product to its factory default settings clears all current configuration
settings. Selecting the Keep network settings option retains the IP address settings. In addition, any
files that were loaded into the device through the File Management page such as custom-interface
files and applet files are retained. See "File management" for information on loading and deleting
files.
There are several ways to reset the device configuration of a ConnectPort LTS product to the
factory default settings:
 From the web interface using the Restore Factory Defaults operation
 From the command-line interface, using the boot or revert commands
 Using the reset button on the ConnectPort LTS product.
 From the LCD display under Miscellaneous.
Settings cleared and retained during factory reset
The Factory Default Settings operation clears all current settings. Selecting the Keep network
settings option retains the IP address settings. This is the best way to reset the configuration,
because the settings can also be backed up using the Backup/Restore operation, which provides a
means for restoring it after the configuration issues have been resolved. The Restore Only Serial
Port Settings option restores only the serial settings to their factory defaults, and leaves the
remainder of the configuration settings as-is.
Using the web interface
1. Make a backup copy of the configuration using the Backup/Restore operation, see
“Backup/restore Device Configurations.”
2. From the Main menu, click Administration > Factory Default Settings. The Factory Default
Settings page is displayed.
3. If it is desired to keep the network settings for the device, such as the IP address, select
Keep network settings option. If it is desired to reset the serial port settings only, select the
Restore Only Serial Port Settings option.
4. Restore.
