Overriding Forgotten IP Addresses or Passwords on AP,
SM, or BH
A small adjunctive product allows you to temporarily override some AP/SM/BH settings and
thereby regain control of the module. This override plug is needed for access to the module in any
of the following cases:
• You have forgotten either
o the IP address assigned to the module.
o the password that provides access to the module.
• You want local access to a module that has had the 802.3 link disabled in the Configuration
page.
You can configure the module such that, when it senses the override plug, it responds by either
• resetting the LAN1 IP address to 169.254.1.1, allowing access through the default
configuration without changing the configuration, whereupon you will be able to view and
reset any non-default values as you wish.
• resetting all configurable parameters to their factory default values.
Acquiring the Override Plug
You can either purchase or fabricate an override plug as follows. To purchase an override plug for
a nominal fee, order the plug at
