Figure 8-12. Reset to Factory Defaults Confirmation
Step 3. To proceed with the reset, click Continue.
To cancel the reset, click
Cancel.
Caution:
On a Access Control Server or Integrated Access Manager, when you click Continue, all your
settings and configuration options, including your network settings and uplink port configuration, are
returned to the factory default settings. If you later want to restore your configuration, you must restore
from a backup image that was created and saved to an external file before the reset. A reset erases
the backup image stored on the unit.
On an Access Controller, however, if you have not deleted the Access Controller from the Access
Control Server’s System Components List, as soon as the Access Controller reconnects to the Access
Control Server, the Access Control Server will push the most recent Access Controller configuration
information to the Access Controller. This effectively returns the Access Controller configuration to its
state prior to the Reset to Factory Defaults action. If you want the Access Controller to retain the
factory default settings after reconnecting to the Access Control Server, you must delete the Access
Controller from the Access Control Server’s System Components List before you set the Access
Control Server IP address and shared secret on the Access Controller. Then when the Access
Controller reconnects the Access Control Server will treat it like a new (previously unknown) Access
Controller.
