Hardware Features
The front panel ports and LEDs, rear panel ports, and bottom label of the STM models are
described in this section.
Note: When you reset the STM to the original factory default settings after you have
entered the license keys to activate the STM (see “Registering the STM with
NETGEAR” on page 2-28), the license keys are erased. The license keys and the
different types of licenses that are available for the STM are no longer displayed
on the Registration screen. However, after you have reconfigured the STM to
connect to the Internet and to the NETGEAR registration server, the STM
retrieves and restores all registration information based on its MAC address and
hardware serial number. You do not need to re-enter the license keys and
reactivate the STM.
