Soft Restarts
A soft restart may periodically be performed by the network device to automatically attempt to rectify a
problem it may be experiencing. A soft restart is essentially the same as performing a manual soft reset
device as described above.
The network device will perform a soft restart under the following conditions:
 If the device is not receiving an NTP poll response or an NTP broadcast response depending on
which mode the device is in.
 If the device is set to use DHCP and no DHCP server can be found.
The timeout before doing a soft restart is not less than 10 minutes. Several factors can increase the time
between these soft restarts.
 The soft restart will be delayed by two hours if a connection is made by telnet or WinDiscovery.
 The soft restart is delayed if the user changes the default parameters for NTP poll
retries/timeouts or the NTP broadcast timeout. For example, if the NTP broadcast timeout is
increased to 60 minutes the soft restart timeout will also be increased to 60 minutes.
Reset Configuration to Factory Default
In some situations it may be necessary to return the unit to factory default settings. The unit will go
through an initialization process. Next, the RC500 will show the time on the display.
SET TO DEFAULT CONFIGURATION
Click the [Set to Default Configuration] button to reset
all of your previously entered options and customs
settings back to the original factory settings. You will get
the “Are you sure?” window. Click the [Yes] button if you
are sure you want to return to the default configuration
with the default password: “public”.
