Restore a device configuration to factory defaults
Restoring a Digi device to its factory default settings clears all current configuration settings 
except the IP address settings 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 151 for information on loading and deleting files.
There are two ways to reset the device configuration of a Digi device to the factory default settings: 
from the web interface and using the reset button or, in some cases, the reset signal, on the Digi 
device. 
Settings cleared and retained during factory reset
The Restore Factory Defaults operation clears all current settings except the IP address settings 
and host key settings. This 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.
Using the web interface
1 Make a backup copy of the configuration using the Backup/Restore operation, described on 
page 155.
2 From the Main menu, click Administration > Factory Default Settings. The Factory 
Default Settings page is displayed.
3 Choose whether to keep the network settings for the device, such as the IP address, and click 
Restore.
