Reset to Factory Defaults
If the Master Admin password is changed and lost for any reason, the only recovery method is to
reset Commander back to its defaults. For this reason the following precautions should be taken:
1. Keep a record of all user names and passwords. IT and Security user names and
passwords are maintained by and can be accessed by the Master Admin. However the
Master Admin user and password is not.
2. Follow the procedures to download and save programmed settings. If a Commander reset
is required all programming will be returned to its default settings. By saving
programming a Master Admin can perform a Restore, returning Commander to its
programmed functions.
3. Save all existing logs by performing either a Save As to a client computer or by emailing
logs. Please note: once a unit is reset to defaults or powered down all log information is
erased.
To Reset Commander: Locate the recessed button on the rear panel.
(As a precaution the procedure must be performed during power up)
!
Power on Commander and wait approximately one minute.
The Port A LED will change to Amber, meaning program is waiting for instruction
Press the reset button for 10 seconds, the Port B LED will turn amber.
Keep pressing the reset button for 2 full seconds longer.
When both Port A and B turn off at the same time the system has reset to its defaults.
This procedure must be followed exactly. If the procedure is not followed as stated, the Port A
LED will turn off after 10 seconds and will not allow any more attempts to reset. To override this
condition Commander must be powered off and on.
