new Input card.
To restore this information:

correctly.

115,200 baud, 8, n, 1, n and ensure that you have the ‘Monitor>’ prompt.
3. Type ‘sn <original serial number>’ to set the unit’s serial number.

(alternatively the IP address can be set from the Front Panel as described in the
Reference Guide).
5. Power cycle the unit.

To verify that the cards are recognized by the unit:
1. Power up the unit and, using a web browser such as Internet Explorer, navigate
to the EQ8096 home page by entering the IP address set in the previous step
into the browser's address field and check that the GUI responds.
2. Check using the GUI that it recognises the fitted PCB cards and no faults are
seen. Check also the IP address and Serial number are correctly reported, as
per the instructions in 7.1
To reload the original configuration into Flash:
1. FTP into the unit as outlined in section 7.1, making sure that your source
directory contains the ‘config.xml’ file obtained originally.
2. Type ‘put config.xml config’
3. After the transfer has completed type ‘bye’ to exit the FTP session.
4. Check that the unit has been correctly configured, as per the original unit
configuration.
