Setting the Mode Switches
Figure B‐1 shows the location of the mode switches and the switch settings for normal
operation. These switches are set at the factory and rarely need to be changed.
Switch definitions and positions are as follows:
• Switches 1 through 6 – For Enterasys Networks use only.
• Switch 7 – Clear Persistent Data. Changing the position of this switch clears Persistent
Data on the next power‐up of the module. All user‐entered parameters, such as the IP
address, module names, etc., are reset to the factory default settings. Once the module
resets, you can either use the factory default settings or reenter your own parameters.
• Switch 8 – Clear Admin Password. Changing the position of this switch clears the
admin password, and restores the factory default password on the next power‐up of
the module. Once the module resets, you can either use the factory default settings or
reenter your own password.
Caution: Read the appropriate sections to be fully aware of the consequences when
changing switch settings.
Only qualified personnel should change switch settings.
Precaución: Si desea modificar la configuración del interruptor, lea las secciones
correspondientes para saber cuál será el resultado de hacerlo.
Estas modificaciones a la configuración sólo debe realizarlas personal calificado.
Note: Do not change the position of Switch 8 unless it is necessary to reset the admin
password to its factory default setting.
