Security Protection
To enhance security, the AXS Port has been designed to enable a basic form of encryption. To enable
it, the user must contact OutBack Power Technologies. A non-disclosure agreement must be signed.
Resetting the AXS Port with the reset switch will restore all values to the factory default settings. This
includes removing the password and disabling the security features.
Using the AXS Port with the security features disabled is not recommended when communicating
over the Internet. Since the initial password state is unsecured, it is recommended that the password
is set over a secure local area network before connecting to the Internet.
The AXS Port has a reset switch located
below the SD Card slot. Using the reset
switch will restore all settings to the factory
default values. This includes removing the
password and disabling any security which
has been activated. (See below.)
The reset switch is recessed to avoid being
accidentally pressed. Insert a paper clip, wire, or similar narrow tool. The switch should be
held for five seconds. The Fault LED will blink during the resetting process.

field is occupied by any error code. (See Table 1.)
See page 15 for a list of error codes. This LED will
blink upon pressing the reset switch (see below).
¾ Power LED: Illuminates when the AXS Port is
powered up. (Power is supplied by an OutBack
device. See Figure 4.)
