How to Start an AT-GS950/24 WEB Management Session

Switch Reboot

You can reboot the AT-GS950/24 switch by either pressing the front panel

eco-friendly switch between 5 to 9 seconds or by using the Normal reboot

function provided in the AT-S109 management software.

In addition to rebooting the switch, you have the option to reset the

AT-GS950/24 switch configuration parameters to the original factory

default settings. There are two ways to accomplish this:

 Press the front panel ecofriendly button for more than 10 seconds

and release it.

 Reboot the switch in the AT-S109 management software and

follow the procedures to reset to factory defaults. See “Switch

Reboot” on page 31 and “Configure Factory Default Values” on

page 32 for more information.

Note

Refer to the AT-GS950 Installation guide for more information about

how to use the eco-friendly button to reboot or reset the switch.

Note

The AT-S109 Management software default values are listed in the

AT-GS950 Web User Guide.

Protection of

Factory Reset

If your switch is located in a controlled environment such as a locked

switching closet or limited access equipment room, it may be desirable to

have the ability to easily reset the switch to factory defaults at any time by

using either the front panel ecofriendly switch or the AT-S109

management software.

However, if your switch is installed in an uncontrolled environment, you

may want to protect the switch’s configuration from unwanted or

accidental resets. The AT-S109 management software allows you to

disable the factory default reset feature and lock it with your own

password. When this is done, two areas are affected:

 The reset and factory default reset features on the front panel

ecofriendly switch are disabled.

 The factory default reset feature in the AT-S109 management

software is disabled. However, you can still reset the switch via the

management software without affecting the switch’s configuration.

The factory default reset can be enabled again by using the password that

you initially defined when disabling this function.
