2. Press 'OK' to reboot Watson. This may take up to one minute.
To re-enter the WBM after restarting the gateway, press the browser's 'Refresh'
button.
9.8.4 Restore Factory MAC Address
Watson enables you to restore the MAC address of the WAN and LAN interfaces to
the initial factory assigned address.
Changing MAC addresses may interrupt the management connection. You may
have to wait a short time and manually refresh the page.
9.8.5 Restore Defaults
Restoring Watson's factory default settings removes all of the configuration chang-
es made to Watson. This is useful, for example, when you wish to build a new net-
work from the beginning, or when you cannot recall changes made to the network
and wish to go back to the default configuration. To restore default settings:
1. Access this feature either from the 'Maintenance' tab under the 'System' screen,
or by clicking its icon in the 'Advanced' screen. The 'Restore Defaults' screen
appears:

2. Press 'OK' to restore Watson's factory default settings.
Note: All WBM settings and parameters, not only those in the Advanced section, will
be restored to their default values. This includes the administrator password; a user-
specified password will no longer be valid.
Note: if you load a configuration file that was created with another Watson SHDSL
router, the factory MAC Address will be overwritten. This is probably not wanted, as
every network device should have a unique MAC address. After loading the configura-
tion file it might be necessary to restore the factory MAC addresses of the device.
