registration status
This option can be useful if you want to register the switch under a different name or account.
This option requires you to first contact NETGEAR support at
netgear.com/support so that
the NETGEAR registration status on the NETGEAR server can be reset. Then, you can use
this option to erase all settings, reset the switch to factory defaults, go through the initial
log-in process again, and reregister the switch with NETGEAR.
Note: If you can physically access the switch, you can reset the switch to
factory default settings and reset the registration status by pressing
the dual-function Factory Defaults button on the front panel for more
than 10 seconds.
