At Start-Time
You can use the RESET/DEFAULT button at start-time – you power the unit off, and then depress the
button until the LEDs stop blinking and remain ON. This applies the “Factory Reset” procedure (see
Factory Reset). This feature reverts the TA7104/7108 back to its default factory settings.
Partial Reset
The Partial reset provides a way to contact the TA7104/7108 in a known and static state while keeping
most of the configuration unchanged.
Following a partial reset, the TA7104/7108 management interface is set to the Rescue interface. The
default address for this interface is 192.168.0.1/24 and has its corresponding link-local IPv6 available
and printed on the sticker under the TA7104/7108. Any existing network interface that conflicts with
the Rescue interface address is disabled.
You can contact the TA7104/7108 at this address to access its configuration parameters. It is not
advised to access the unit on a regular basis through the Rescue network interface. You should
reconfigure the unit’s network interfaces as soon as possible in order to access it through another
interface. See After a Partial Reset for more details.
In a partial reset, the following services and parameters are also affected:
AAA service: User(s) from profile are restored with their factory password.
SNMP service: Resets the enableSnmpV1, enableSnmpV2, enableSnmpV3 and snmpPort values
to their default values.
WEB service: Resets the serverPort to its default value.
To trigger the Partial Reset:
1. Insert a small, unbent paper clip into the RESET/DEFAULT hole located at the rear of the
TA7104/7108. While pressing the RESET/DEFAULT button, restart the unit. Do not depress
before all the LEDs start blinking (between 7-11 seconds).
2. Release the paper clip.
After a Partial Reset
Following a partial reset, you should:
1. Create or activate network interfaces as described in the Software Configuration Guide, Chapter
Interface Parameters, Section Interfaces Configuration. Do not disable the Rescue interface!
