Very exceptional case—minimal config recovery
If, after performing the procedure in section “Resetting the SmartNode device when it is operating and the
Power LED is lit” on page 55, the SmartNode device is still not operational, the following may remedy the
problem by erasing the entire contents of flash memory (no exceptions).
However it is recommended that in such a case the device be sent to Patton for analysis and repair. See section
“Warranty Service and Returned Merchandise Authorizations (RMAs)” on page 36 for details.
Do the following:
1. While pressing and holding the Reset button, apply power to the SmartNode device. The Status LED
flashes quickly for 2 seconds, during which time the Reset button must remain pressed.
2. The Status LED will begin a series of blink pattern starting with 1-blink, pause.
3. Repeatedly pressing and releasing the Reset button will cycle through the blink patterns.
4. When you get to the 3-blink pattern that will erase the entire flash memory (see table 10), release the Reset
button. 10 seconds later, flash memory will be erased, then the device will boot.
The following procedure is NOT standard and is NOT to be used
to perform a factory reset. It should ONLY be used as a last
resort for a minimal recovery of the device when it is in an unde
-
fined state, and if the instructions in section “Resetting the
SmartNode device when it is operating and the Power LED
is lit” on page 55 did not provide a remedy.
Performing the following procedure will result in loss of all data,
including the shipping-config, software licenses, Wizards,
backup-configs, etc. The device will have to be manually set up
afterward.
