10.18 Replacing the Root B060-032-8

If you replace the root (fi rst-level) B060-032-8 with a child (lower-level) B060-032-8, the new root B060-032-8 will ask you to confi rm that you want to
keep the system settings of the previous root B060-032-8. If you choose to keep the settings, all groups, users, and port notes will be retained. However,
some system settings such as date, time, station name, and Web Page Session Timeout may be lost. If you choose to discard the settings, the B060-032-8 will
return to its factory default settings. The B060-032-8 cannot be accessed until you have completed this procedure.

To replace the root B060-032-8:

Disconnect and remove the root B060-032-8 from the installation and replace it with the new root B060-032-8.

Login to the Administrator Utility. A Web page appears that asks you to confi rm whether you want to keep the system settings.

Click

Yes to keep the system settings of the previous root B060-032-8; or, click No to discard the system settings and return to the original factory default

settings.

The B060-032-8 automatically resets and returns to the login screen. Now you may access the B060-032-8.
