Serverisresettofactorydefaults,itwillthenloadyouralternatedefaultcongurationinsteadofitsfactorysettings:
• Tosetanalternatedefaultconguration,checkLoad On Erase and click Apply
Note: Before selecting Load On Erase please ensure you have tested your alternate default configuration by clicking Restore
If for some reason your alternate default configuration causes the Console Server to become unbootable recover your unit to
factory settings using the following steps:
• If the configuration is stored on an external USB storage device, unplug the storage device and reset to factory defaults as
per section 11.1 of the user manual
• If the configuration is stored on an internal USB storage device reset to factory defaults using a specially prepared USB
storage device:
o The USB storage device must be formatted with a Windows FAT32/VFAT file system on the first partition or the
entire disk, most USB thumb drives are already formatted this way
o The file system must have the volume label: OPG_DEFAULT
o Insert this USB storage device into an external USB port on the Console Server and reset to factory defaults as
per section 11.1
After recovering your Console Server, ensure the problematic configuration is no longer selected for Load On Erase
