1.6 The RESET Button
If you forget your password or cannot access the Web Configurator, you will need to use the RESET
button at the back of the device to reload the factory-default configuration file. This means that you will
lose all configurations that you had previously and the password will be reset to “1234”.
1 Make sure the POWER LED is on (not blinking).
2 To set the device back to the factory default settings, press the RESET button for five seconds or until the
POWER LED begins to blink and then release it. When the POWER LED begins to blink, the defaults have
been restored and the device restarts.
1.7 Wireless Access
The XMG is a wireless Access Point (AP) for wireless clients, such as notebook computers or PDAs and
iPads. It allows them to connect to the Internet without having to rely on inconvenient Ethernet cables.
You can configure your wireless network in either the built-in Web Configurator, or using the WPS button.
Figure 7 Wireless Access Example
1.7.1 Using the WPS Button
Once the WiFi LED turns green, the wireless network is active. If the wireless network is turned off, see
Section 7.2 on page 85 for how to enable the wireless network on the XMG.
You can also use the WPS button to quickly set up a secure wireless connection between the XMG and
a WPS-compatible client by adding one device at a time.
To activate WPS:
1 Make sure the POWER LED is on and not blinking.
2 Press the WPS button for five seconds and release it.
3 Press the WPS button on another WPS-enabled device within range of the XMG. The WiFi LED flashes
orange while the XMG sets up a WPS connection with the other wireless device.
4 Once the connection is successfully made, the WPS LED shines green.
