Restoring Factory Defaults
The Reset button on the back panel can be used to return the Gateway to its factory default
settings. As a result, any changes made to the Gateway’s default settings will be lost.
If you do not have physical access to the Gateway, you can use the GUI to either power
cycle the Gateway (see “Using the Reboot Menu to Reboot the Gateway” on page 99) or
return the Gateway to its factory default settings (see “Using the Tools Settings Menu” on
page 98).
The following procedure describes how to use the Reset button to power cycle the Gateway
and return it to its original factory default settings.
1. Leave power plugged into the Gateway.
2. Find the Reset button on the back panel, then press and hold it for at least 10 seconds.
3. Release the Reset button.
