MATRIX SERVSWITCH™
7.2.5 O PTION 6. R ESET TO F ACTORY D EFAULTS
Use this option to restore the Matrix ServSwitch port board you’re communicating
with to its original factory configuration (see Appendix A for a full list of factory-
default configuration settings). There are several reasons you might want to do
this. For example:
• to recover from losing a configuration password;
•
to more quickly reconfigure a daisychained Switch for standalone operation; or
• to erase sensitive or invalid configuration information.

You should restore all of the port boards in a Switch if you restore one, because a
Switch whose boards are configured differently will probably malfunction. To do
this, simply turn the Switch off and back on again; the configuration will
automatically be copied to the other boards in the Switch.
To go one step further and restore all of the Switches in a daisychained system
(which, once you’ve restored one board, we highly recommend), press [Ctrl][F12]
on the keyboard at one of the user stations attached to the Switch you’ve just
restored. This will bring up the configuration menu. Select Save to save the default
configuration to all of the Switches in the system.
