Figure 101: Unit Settings tab of SM, example
The Unit Settings tab of the SM contains an option for how the SM should react when it detects a
connected override plug. You may set this option as follows.
Set to Factory Defaults Upon Default Plug Detection
If Enabled is checked, then an override/default plug functions as a default plug. When the module
is rebooted with the plug inserted, it can be accessed at the IP address 169.254.1.1 and no
password, and all parameter values are reset to defaults. A subscriber, technician, or other person
who gains physical access to the module and uses an override/default plug cannot see or learn the
settings that were previously configured in it. When the module is later rebooted with no plug
inserted, the module uses the new values for any parameters that were changed and the default
values for any that were not.
If Disabled is checked, then an override/default plug functions as an override plug. When the
module is rebooted with the plug inserted, it can be accessed at the IP address 169.254.1.1 and no
password, and all previously configured parameter values remain and are displayed. A subscriber,
technician, or other person who gains physical access to the module and uses an override/default
plug can see and learn the settings. When the module is later rebooted with no plug inserted, the
module uses the new values for any parameters that were changed and the previous values for any
that were not.
