How do I reset the router?
There are 2 ways of resetting the router:
1 - Through the web interface on the Admin tab.
2 - Through the command line interface (CLI) using the reboot command.
There are also a number of different types of reset too. They are:
default - This is the command that will perform a 'factory' reset. The router will be returned to the default settings.
clean - This command will clear EVERY setting from the router. Even the ethernet interface will not be configured. In this state you have to use the serial cable to log into the CLI to configure the router. You probably do not want to do this option.
last - This will reboot the router and apply the last saved configuration (from the last time you used the commit command).
To use method 1, through the web interface, log in and go to the Admin tab, and choose the Commit & reboot option. Then choose the type of reset you want from the dropdown list and hit the reboot button.
To use method 2, log in to the CLi through Telnet, or through HyperTerminal and use the following command:
$reboot [default¦clean¦last]
where you choose the appropriate type. Then press return and the router will rebbot in the required way.
