DB9 adapter.) Then configure the following settings 
as needed:
•  Baud rate  115200
•  Data bits  8

Reset
There are two methods to reset the EdgeRouter to 
factory defaults:
•  Runtime reset (recommended)  The EdgeRouter 
should be running after bootup is complete. Press 
and hold the Reset button for about 10seconds 
until the right LED on port eth2 starts flashing 
and then becomes solidly lit. After a few seconds, 
the LED will turn off, and the EdgeRouter will 
automatically reboot. 
•  Power-on reset  Disconnect the Power Cord from 
the Power Adapter. Press and hold the Reset 
button while connecting the Power Cord to the 
Power Adapter. Keep holding the button until the 
right LED on port eth2 starts flashing and then 
stops flashing after a few seconds.
