6 Troubleshooting – Restoring Factory
Settings
You can restore factory defaults from the Web configuration interface, as described in
Section 3.13.3 on page 46. However, if you cannot access the GUI
(for example, you
have forgotten the Username or Password), you can restore factory defaults using a
USB drive.
To restore factory defaults using a USB drive:
1. In the root of the USB drive, create an empty file named “default”.
2. Place the USB drive into one of the USB ports of the Smart 216/232 IP and restart
it by power cycling it.
The Smart 216/232 IP reboots and recognize the presence of the default file. It
then restores the unit to the factory settings, erases this file, and reboots. After
rebooting, the unit reverts to the factory settings.
