19.9 Restoring Factory Settings
You can restore the device to factory default settings. This is useful when, for example, you
are initially creating a new network or when you cannot recall changes made to the
network.
Notes:
• If you are accessing the device's Web interface from the WAN, restoring
factory default settings causes the connection with the device to be lost,
since access to the Web interface from the WAN is blocked by default.
• All Web-based management settings and parameters are restored to
their default values. This includes the administrator username and
password
To restore the device to default settings:
1. In the 'Advanced' screen, click the Restore Factory Settings
icon; the 'Restore
Factory Settings' screen appears.

2. Click OK to restore the device's factory default settings.
If the device Web interface cannot be accessed (for example, if the password is unknown
or if the LAN is disabled), you can restore default settings manually, as described below:
To manually restore the device to default settings:
Insert a paper clip (or any other similar pointed object) into the Reset pin-hole button
located on the rear panel of the device, and keep the button pressed for at least
seven seconds. While the device sets all its parameters to default, the Status,
Broadband, and Phone LEDs blink red. After this, the Status LED is lit steady red
while the device reboots.
