CHAPTER SIX- CONFIGURING AND ADMINISTERING

Restoring PL3000 to Factory Defaults

If your PL3000 does not operate as you may expect, or if you just want to start

from scratch, in that case, the Registry Backup utility gives an option to clear all the

changes you or your application have made permanent in the registry database.

See also the section ‘FLASH DIRECTORY’ on page 27.

Note! Despite the fact that you have not saved your configuration

changes in the persistent memory, the changes can be persistent

because some part of the system called the ‘RegFlushKey’ function.

Before you begin, open the Registry Backup utility; see ‘Accessing Registry

Backup’.

To restore PL3000 to its factory

defaults:

1. Set keypad focus on the ‘Restore

Factory Registry’ button by the

‘down-arrow’ button

2. Read ‘WARNING!’ the Registry

Backup utility shows in the window

3. Press the ‘ok’ key; the Registry

Backup gives you the last chance to

go back on the operation by pressing

the ‘esc’ key

4. Press the ‘ok’ key; the Registry

Backup removes the persistent add-ons from the registry and cold-boots

your device

After your PL3000 is up and running, all the changes to the default contents of

the registry database are gone except the registry settings in the *.PAK file(s) in the

Flash folder.

Note! The *.PAK files in the ‘Flash’ directory may also contain Registry

settings that the system views as permanent settings. Even though you

restored the contents of the registry to the factory defaults using the

Registry Backup, the registry settings included in the *.PAK file(s) remain

in the registry database after the cold boot.
