3.5 MASTER RESET
The RFL 9660's master reset function returns all switch configuration settings (such as passwords, callback
strings, delay times) to their factory-default values. This will erase any new configuration settings stored in the
RFL 9660's memory, and return all switch configuration parameters to the settings they had when the RFL 9660
left the factory. The master reset can also be used to reset all port parameters (such as baud rate, flow control,
port label) to their factory default settings.
If you need to initiate a master reset, use the following procedure:
1. Turn off the RFL 9660 by placing the power switch on the power supply in the off (down) position.
2. Press and hold in the REMOTE LOCAL switch on the front of the RFL 9660.
3. While holding in the REMOTE LOCAL switch, turn on the RFL 9660 by placing the power switch on the
power supply in the on (up) position and look at the STATUS display.
After about two seconds, the STATUS display will read "rC," meaning the switch
passwords are about to be reset. The display will change to "00" once the passwords
are reset.
4. If you only want to reset the passwords, release the REMOTE LOCAL switch when "00" appears on the
STATUS display and go to step 5. If you also want to reset all the configuration parameters, keep
holding the REMOTE LOCAL switch.
After about eight more seconds, the STATUS display will read "rP," meaning the
configuration parameters are about to be reset. The display will change to "00" once the
configuration parameters are reset.
5. Watch the STATUS display.
When the RFL 9660 has completed its reset routine and is ready for use, the STATUS
display will read "PL." This means that the RFL 9660 is idle (not being accessed), but
polling its local and modem ports for connection.
3.6 LOCALLY ACCESSING THE RFL 9660
Once you have connected the local terminal to the RFL 9660's local port and the RFL 9660 is turned on, you
can access the RFL 9660 by pressing the [ENTER] key on the terminal keyboard. When you do, the following
message will appear on your display:
Site ID.
Enter <CR> for access.
When you press the [ENTER] key, the following prompt appears:
LOCAL> _
Your local terminal is now accessing the RFL 9660. Each time you press a key on the local terminal's keyboard,
the green DATA indicator on the RFL 9660's CPU module will light. This shows that the RFL 9660 is receiving
data from the local terminal.
If the RFL 9660 does not respond, check the connections between the local terminal and the RFL 9660's local
port. If the connections are good, make sure the terminal's configuration setting match that of the RFL 9660's
local port (2400 baud, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity). If the connections are good and the configuration
settings match, the RFL 9660 may require servicing. (See Section 12.)
