Restoring Factory Default Settings on the SPEEDLAN 8500 IDU

1 Turn off the SPEEDLAN IDU.
2 Connect the PC to the IDU using a crossover Ethernet cable or using 2 Straight-through
cables and a hub.
3 Under the Network Neighborhood on your PC, change your IP address to 198.17.74.195
and assign a Subnet Mask of 255.255.255.0. You will also need to remove any gateways
that were defined in your TCP/IP properties.

5 On the back panel of each IDU, depress the small black Factory Default switch to the UP
position. For normal operation the switch should be depressed in the down position. Power-
up the IDU and let it reboot.

factory default mode. Click on OK, and then OK again. You should see a message con-
firming that the IDU configuration was read properly.
