Administration from the web interface

Restore a device configuration to factory defaults

There are several ways to reset the device configuration of a Digi device to the factory default

settings: using the Administration > Factory Defaults page in the web interface; using the boot

command from the command line; and using the Reset button, or, on some models, a Reset signal

The first two reset methods are a soft reset, while the reset button/signal method is a hard reset.

Using the Administration > Factory Defaults page on the web interface

The Restore Factory Defaults operation from the web interface clears all current settings, resets

password for the administrative/root user, and restores the settings to the factory defaults. If a Digi

device has custom factory default settings, the settings will revert to those custom defaults instead.

This method is the best way to reset the configuration, because the settings can also be backed up

using the Backup/Restore operation, which provides a means for restoring it after the configuration

issues have been resolved.

1 Make a backup copy of the configuration using the Backup/Restore operation, see page 244.

2 From the Main menu, click Administration > Factory Default Settings. The Factory

Default Settings page is displayed.

3 Check the Keep network settings checkbox to keep the current network settings such as the

IP address and host key settings. In addition, any files that were loaded into the device

through the File Management page such as custom-interface files and applet files are

retained. See "File management" on page 231 for information on loading and deleting files.

4 Click Restore.

Using the boot command

The boot action=factory command clears all current configuration settings, except the IP address

settings, host key settings, and password for the administrative/root user; restores the settings to the

factory defaults; then reboots the device. If a Digi device has custom factory default settings, the

settings will revert to those custom defaults instead.

#> boot action=factory

There are several other options for using the boot command to load configuration settings. See the

boot command description in the Digi Connect Family Command Reference.
