Ensure that there is a direct connection to the interface module.
1. Select the IO device in HW Config.
2. Select the menu command Target system > Ethernet > Edit node.
The "Edit Ethernet Node" dialog window opens.
3. Click the "Browse" button and select the IO device in the selection window.
4. Click "OK".
5. Click the "Reset" button in the "Reset to factory settings" area.
6. Click "OK" in response to the security prompt.
Result: The interface module then performs "Reset to factory settings".
