Factory default settings

Restoring a Digi ConnectPort X device to its factory default settings clears all current configuration settings with some exceptions. See the following topics for more information:

• Settings cleared and retained during a factory reset
• File Management

There are several ways to reset the device configuration of a Digi ConnectPort X product to the factory default settings:

• From the web interface using the Restore Factory Defaults operation

  This method is the best way to reset the configuration, because you can back up the settings using the Backup/Restore operation. The Backup/Restore operation provides a means to restore the configuration after the configuration issues have been resolved. See Reset the factory settings on a Digi ConnectPort X product from the web interface for more information.

• From the command-line interface, using the boot command

  The boot action=factory command clears all current configuration settings, except the IP address settings, host key settings, and password for the administrative/root user; restores the settings to the factory defaults; then reboots the device. If a Digi device has custom factory default settings, the settings will revert to those custom defaults instead.

  #> boot action=factory

  There are several other options for using the boot command to load configuration settings. See the boot command description in the Digi Connect® Family Command Reference.

• Using the reset button on the Digi ConnectPort X device

  Use this method if you cannot access the device from a web browser. The location of the reset button may vary. See Reset the factory settings on a Digi ConnectPort X product using the Reset button for more information.
