Appendix C: Recovery mode
The NTC-140-02 Router features two independent operating systems, each with its own file systems. These two systems are
referred to as 'Main' and 'Recovery'. It is always possible to use one in order to restore the other in the event that one system
becomes damaged or corrupted (such as during a firmware upgrade failure). The recovery console provides limited functionality and
is typically used to restore the main firmware image in the case of a problem.
Accessing recovery mode
Both systems have web interfaces that can be used to manipulate the other inactive system. The NTC-140-02Router starts up by
default in the Main system mode, however the router may be triggered to start in recovery mode if desired.
To start the router in recovery mode:
1. Press and hold the physical reset button on the interface panel of the router for 5 to 15 seconds. When the LEDs on the
front panel change to amber and countdown in a sequence, release the reset button. The router then boots into recovery
mode.
2. In your browser, navigate to http://192.168.1.1. The router’s recovery mode is hardcoded to use this address regardless
of the IP address that was configured in the main system. The router’s recovery console is displayed.
