7.2 Front Panel Diagnostics

The front panel of the terminal includes a LAN interface and three groups of status

indicators to help with first level diagnoses of problems encountered with the

terminal.

System Reset Button

Throughout this section, reference is made to the Reset button, which is a micro-

switch recessed in the front panel in the system block. Use a small narrow object,

such as a paper clip, to access the button.

Depressing the button for less than five (5) seconds will activate a short reset,

which is equivalent to turning the terminal off and on. Statistical values are reset,

and the currently loaded software / firmware will be retained. Note that a short

reset may be accomplished remotely by clicking on the System Reboot button

from System Configuration screen.

Depressing the Reset button for more than five (5) seconds executes a long reset.

A long reset reloads the factory default configuration settings such as IP Address,

IP Subnet Mask, Channel, System Name, Passwords and restarts the system. The

software version that existed in the system before the long reset is retained.

An example of when a long reset will help is in the event that a password or IP

address is forgotten. The long reset function will simply restore the system back to

its original factory default settings. A long reset is confirmed by the Wireless Link

LED flashing three times, followed by the LED power-up sequence:

All Ethernet LEDs light for one second, then individual Ethernet LEDs blink twice

in the following order: FD/Col, 100, and Link/Act. The Fault LED lights for

approximately four seconds, then turns off. The two Wireless LEDs remain off for

approximately five seconds, and then blink once. Following this sequence, all

LEDs will indicate the current operational status.
