Restore Factory Defaults
Clicking the Restore Defaults button will set the configuration back to the factory default
values. You can also restore the gateway’s factory default configuration by pressing and
holding the "Reset" button for a little over 5 seconds. The gateway will initially blink the
status LED red and yellow to notify you that the configuration is about to be restored. After
it changes to blinking green and yellow, release the “Reset” button. The factory default
configuration is restored and the unit reboots. Either method will reboot the gateway.
PDA Compaction
The gateway stores factory configuration information, boot time information, and error
records in the Product Data Area (or PDA). This information is stored in flash memory and
can fill up over time. You can use the Compact Flash command to reclaim Product Data
Area space. There are two types of compaction operations:
 Standard Compaction: only removes old records
 Total Compaction: removes old records and error records
Each Compaction method will list the number of bytes that can be reclaimed by selecting
that method. In general, you should never need to do this unless directed to by Systech
support. The flash used by the PDA is independent of the rest of system memory, and has
no effect on system performance or resources.
