The Command Line Interface (CLI) provides a reset command for restoring the PXE to factory defaults. For information on CLI, see Using the Command Line Interface.
To reset to factory defaults after logging in to the CLI:
Launch a terminal emulation program such as HyperTerminal, Kermit, or PuTTY, and open a window on the PXE. For information on the serial port configuration, see Step 2 of Initial Network Configuration via CLI.
Log in to the CLI by typing the user name "admin" and its password.
After the # system prompt appears, type either of the following commands and press Enter.
#
reset factorydefaults
-- OR --
#
reset factorydefaults/y
If you entered the command without "/y" in Step 4, a message appears prompting you to confirm the operation. Type y to confirm the reset.
Wait until the Username prompt appears, indicating the reset is complete.
To reset to factory defaults without logging in to the CLI:
The PXE provides an easier way to reset the product to factory defaults in the CLI prior to login.
Connect to the PXE and launch a terminal emulation program as described in the above procedure.
At the Username prompt in the CLI, type "factorydefaults" and press Enter.
Username:
factorydefaults
Type y on a confirmation message to perform the reset.
