Factory Default Settings

You may need to restore the vNet Device configuration to factory
default settings if you:
• Forgot the administrator password.
• Changed the TCP port for HTTP but don’t remember what it is.
• Want to remove all custom configuration changes.
Before restoring factory default settings, you must choose
whether or not you want to keep the IP settings and administrator
password you have already set (recommended).

Important:

If you do not check the option to keep the current
IP settings, DHCP is automatically enabled. This
could result in the vNet Device acquiring a new IP
address if it had previously been configured with a
static IP address. If this happens, you will need to
rediscover the vNet Device using the Digi Device
Discovery software (Start | Digi | Digi Device
Discovery).

You can restore default settings on the vNet Device using the web
interface or from the vNet Device itself using the restart button.

To restore factory default settings using the Web interface:

1

From the vNet Configuration and Management interface,
choose

Utilities | Factory Default Settings

.

2

To keep the IP address settings and administrator password
but reset all other settings to the factory defaults, select the
option,

Keep IP Settings and Administrator Password

.

3

If you do not want to keep IP address settings, clear the
checkbox.

Note:

If you do not keep IP address settings and password,
the IP settings will revert to DHCP, and the adminis-
trator password will revert to ‘dbps’.

4

Click

Apply

.

Restoring factory default settings takes about 45 seconds to
complete. The vNet Device restarts automatically and the web
interface reloads.
