Saving and Resetting Configuration Settings
The web-based configuration interface makes it easy to save and restore configuration
settings on the Eicon 1550/1551. This is useful for backup purposes, or if you intend to
maintain several different configurations. You can also reset all settings to factory
defaults.
When you save the configuration settings, they are stored in a file on your computer.
Procedure
1.
Log in to the Eicon 1550/1551 as described in
Accessing the Configuration Menu
2.
From the main menu, click ‘Maintenance’.
The maintenance menu appears with two options, ‘Firmware’ and ‘Configuration’.
3.
Click ‘Configuration’ to display the ‘Configuration Maintenance’ page.
4.
To save your configuration settings to disk, click ‘Backup’.
To restore a previously-saved configuration, click ‘Browse’, select the file, then click
‘Restore’. The backup file uses the extension .CFG.
To reset the Eicon 1550/1551 to factory default settings, click ‘Reset factory settings’.
Resetting the Eicon 1550/1551 to factory defaults will erase all your configuration
settings, including the system password. Consider backing up your current
configuration before you reset to factory defaults, just in case.
Note: If you changed the LAN IP address of the Eicon 1550/1551 from its default setting of 192.168.1.1,
you will lose contact with the web configuration interface after the reset is complete. This is because
the reset will return the Eicon 1550/1551 to its default of 192.168.1.1. To regain access to the
Eicon 1550, access the IP address 192.168.1.1 using your web browser.
You can also reset the box to factory settings by holding down the device Reset
button for 15 seconds. See
Resetting the Device via the Reset Button
for more information.
