Reset MCD to Default DNS Settings

(Choice #12)

There are times when you may want to reset the DNS settings back
to WattMaster Controls factory default settings. This is primarily
done at WattMaster on new systems before they are sent out to the
end user / contractor / customer. It is a base known starting point.
The following information will be displayed on the screen:

Selecting Reset MCD to Default DNS Settings.

DNS Settings restored to Default.

Contents of /etc/resolv.conf are:

#Google Public DNS Servers
nameserver 8.8.8.8
nameserver 8.8.4.4

The screen should now take you back to the mcd-menu main
screen after about a second or two. A Reboot is not necessary.

Restart LCD Driver (Choice #13)

On the front of the WCCIII-MCD2 there is a 4 by 20 line LCD
display. This 4 by 20 line LCD display will display the following
information:

WCCIII – MCD IP ADDRESS
WCCIII – MCD TIME AND DATE
WCCIII – MCD UPTIME
WCCIII – MCD IP RECEIVE AND TRANSMIT PACKETS

you might want to restart the 4 by 20 line LCD driver is: There
may have been an issue with a stuck, or blanked out screen, or the
USB connection to the 4 by 20 line LCD display might have been
disconnected or locked up.

If you have selected to restart the LCD driver, then the following
will be displayed on the screen:

Selecting Restart LCD Driver.
