Soft Reset to Factory Default
If necessary, you can reset the Subscriber unit to the factory default settings. Resetting to default settings means that you
must configure the Subscriber unit anew.
To reset to factory default settings using the Web Interface:
1. Click Commands > Reset.
2. Click the Reset to Factory Default button.
The device configuration parameter values are reset to their factory default values.
If you do not have access to the Subscriber unit, you can use the procedure described in “Hard Reset to Factory Default”
below as an alternative.
Hard Reset to Factory Default
If you cannot access the unit or you have lost its password, you can reset the Subscriber unit to the factory default
settings. Resetting to default settings means you must configure the Subscriber unit anew.
To reset to Subacriber unit, refer Reboot and Reset Functionality for Subscriber Module.
Forced Reload
With Forced Reload, you reset the Subscriber unit to the factory default settings and erase the embedded software. Use
this procedure only as last resort if the Subscriber unit does not boot. If you perform a Forced Reload, refer .Reboot and
Reset Functionality for Subscriber Module
Image File Download with the Bootloader
The following procedures download an image file to the unit after the embedded software has been erased with Forced
Reload or when the embedded software cannot be started by the Bootloader. A new image file can be downloaded to the
unit with ScanTool, or the Command Line Interface through the unit’s serial port. In both cases, the file is transferred
through Ethernet with TFTP. Because the CLI serial port option requires a serial RS-232C cable, Proxim recommends the
ScanTool option.
Download with ScanTool
To download an image file with the ScanTool:
1. Set up the TFTP server as described in TFTP Server Setup.
2. Download the latest software from http://support.proxim.com.
3. Copy the latest software updates to your TFTP server’s root directory.
4. Run ScanTool on a computer that is connected to the same LAN subnet as the unit. ScanTool scans the subnet for
units and displays the found units in the main window. If in Forced Reload, ScanTool does not find the device until the
unit Bootloader times out from its default operation to download an image. Click Rescan to re-scan the subnet and
update the display until the unit shows up in Bootloader mode.
5. Select the unit to which you want to download an image file and click Change.
6. Ensure that IP Address Type Static is selected and fill in the following details:
• Password
• IP Address and Subnet Mask of the unit.
• TFTP Server IP Address and, if necessary, the Gateway IP Address of the TFTP server.
• Image File Name of the file with the new image.
7. Click OK to start the file transfer.
