Function
The SET button has the following functions:
• Restarting the device
To restart the device, press the SET button brie󹪞y.
Note
If you make changes to the con󹪝guration and restart immediately afterwards with the SET
button, the changes may be lost. If you restart the device using the WBM (menu command
"System > Restart") or using the CLI (command "restart" in the Privileged EXEC Modus), the
con󹪝guration changes are always retained.
• Loading a 󹪝rmware 󹪝le via TFTP
If the normal procedure with the "Load & Save" menu of Web Based Management is
unsuccessful, the SET button can be used to load new 󹪝rmware. This situation can occur if
there is a power outage during the normal 󹪝rmware update.
– Hold down the button until the red fault LED (F) starts to 󹪞ash after approximately 3
seconds.
– Now release the button. The bootloader waits in this state for a new 󹪝rmware 󹪝le that you
can download using TFTP.
You will 󹪝nd more information in the section "Service and Maintenance" in the Web Based
Management Con󹪝guration Manual.
• Resetting the device to factory settings
If you reset, all the settings you have made will be overwritten by factory defaults. If a PLUG
is inserted in the device, the PLUG is also reset to default settings.
– Hold down the button until the red fault LED (F) stops 󹪞ashing after approximately 10
seconds and is permanently lit.
– Now release the button and wait until the fault LED (F) goes o󹪜 again. The device then
starts automatically with the factory settings and can be reached via the IP address
192.168.1.1.
You will 󹪝nd more information in the section "Service and Maintenance" in the Web Based
Management Con󹪝guration Manual.
