Reset Button
The Reset button on the AT-8024, AT-8024GB, AT-8026FC, and AT-8026T
switches is described below.
Note
The AT-8012M, AT-8012M-QS, AT-8016F/xx, and AT-8024M
switches do not have a Reset button. You can reset these systems
through the AT-S39 management software or by power cycling the
unit by disconnecting and reconnecting the power cord.
The switches listed above have a Reset button on the back panel. You
might need to reset the switch under the following conditions:
‰ To resolve a switch problem.
‰ To reset the switch statistics stored by the management software.
The button is recessed in the switch’s chassis. You will need to use a pen
or the end of a paper clip to press the button.
You can also reset the switch using the management interface, as
explained in the AT-S39 Management Software User’s Guide.
Note
Resetting the switch causes the device to momentarily stop
forwarding data packets while it loads its operating software. This
will interrupt normal network operations. The switch will resume
forwarding packets once it has completed reloading its software, a
task that requires only a few seconds to complete.
