Resetting to factory defaults

How it works
Depending on the controller model, there may be more than one way to reset the controller
to its factory default settings. This appendix describes the methods available for each model
type.
To reset only the manager username and password, see To reset manager credentials on a
controller on page 2-6.
Caution Resetting a controller to factory defaults deletes all configuration settings, resets the
manager username and password to “admin,” disables the DHCP server on the LAN port, sets
the LAN port IP address to 192.168.1.1 (MSM765zl LAN port has no factory-default IP
address), and sets the Internet port to operate as a DHCP client.
Note User-installed licenses are retained after a factory reset, but are deactivated. See Factory
reset considerations on page 20-7.
Using the Reset button
(MSM710 only.)
Using a tool such as a paper clip, press and hold the reset button (back of MSM710) for a few
seconds until the front status lights blink three times.
Using the management tool
Supported on models: MSM710, MSM730, MSM750, MSM765zl, MSM760
1. Launch the management tool (default https://192.168.1.1).
2. Select Controller >> Maintenance > Config file management, and in section Reset
configuration, select Reset.
