You can also reset the device and restore the factory default settings by pressing the asset
recovery pinhole. To perform this operation, you need to make a console connection, as
described in “Connecting Using a VT100 Terminal Emulator” on page 17.
1. Locate the asset recovery pinhole on the front panel. Using a thin, firm wire
(such as a paper clip), push the pinhole for four to six seconds and then release.
A serial console message states that the “Configuration Erasure Process has
been initiated” and the system sends an SNMP/SYSLOG alert. The Status LED
blinks amber once every second.
2. Wait for one-half to two seconds.
After the first reset is accepted, the power LED blinks green; the device is now
waiting for the second push. The serial console message now reads, “Waiting for
2nd confirmation.”
3. Push the reset pinhole again for four to six seconds.
The Status LED lights amber for one-half second, and then returns to the
blinking green state.
4. The device resets to its original factory settings.
