Using the RESET Button
4-10 Troubleshooting
4.3 USING THE RESET BUTTON
The RESET button located near the upper plastic locking tab of the module (refer to Figure 4-2 )
resets the SmartSwitch processor without affecting the NVRAM.
Figure 4-2 RESET Button
To reset the SmartSwitch processor, press and release the RESET button. To push the button, use a
pen or similar tool, as the button is recessed behind the metal plate of the front panel. The module
processor goes through a reset process of approximately 60 seconds. Additional downtime may be
added as the module reenters the network.
!
CAUTION
Pressing the RESET button resets the device, and all current switching being
performed by the module is halted. A module downtime of up to two minutes
results from this action.
NOTE
It is not recommended to press the reset button while the module is already in
reset mode. The module will enter an extended diagnostic procedure, which is
unnecessary for normal operation. This procedure will take much longer than a
minute. The ESC key can be used to exit the procedure.
