Restore a device configuration to factory defaults

Restoring a Digi device to its factory default settings clears all current configuration

settings except the IP address settings and host key settings. In addition, any files that

were loaded into the device through the File Management page such as custom-interface

files and applet files are retained. See "File management" on page 211 for information on

loading and deleting files.

There are two ways to reset the device configuration of a Digi device to the factory default

settings: from the web interface and using the reset button on the Digi device.

Settings cleared and retained during factory reset

The Restore Factory Defaults operation clears all current settings except the IP address

settings and host key settings. This is the best way to reset the configuration, because the

settings can also be backed up using the Backup/Restore operation, which provides a

means for restoring it after the configuration issues have been resolved.

Using the web interface

1

Make a backup copy of the configuration using the Backup/Restore operation,
described on page 213.

2

From the Main menu, click Administration > Factory Default Settings. The
Factory Default Settings page is displayed.

3

Choose whether to keep the network settings for the device, such as the IP address,
and click Restore.
