F Appendix: Restoring probe factory
defaults
It is possible to reset the probe to factory settings, erasing all information about the probe configuration
and alarm history.
Please note that after factory reset, the management port will be assigned a default IP address of
10.0.30.220, with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0. This is different from the default IP address when the
unit is shipped from factory, which is 10.0.20.101 with a subnet mask of 255.255.0.0. It will be necessary
to manually set the IP address using one of the methods described in section 4.11. Generally this will
have to be done on-site.
Also note that the unit license key should be noted and stored before the factory reset is performed, as it
might be reset by the factory reset process. The license key is found in the
About — License
view of
the probe, please refer to section 6.19.2. The license key is also printed during the factory reset process.
To perform a factory reset of the probe, connect to it using the USB cable using the method described
in section 4.11.2. Instead of logging in as
admin
, log in with the user name
reset_factory
and the
password
reset_factory
. This will start the factory reset process. Do not close the terminal window
during the reset process. It is also possible to connect using telnet or ssh, if the corresponding setting
has been enabled in the Setup — Security view.
After factory reset, set the management IP address. When regular web connection is established, verify
that the license key is present in the
About — License
view of the probe GUI. If it is not, type or paste it
in the license key field and click the Submit button.
