Reinitializing the CPS
Reinitializing the CPS removes configured information. This may be useful
when reinstalling the CPS at another location in your network.
The CPS stores configuration information in FLASH databases. During
reinitialization, the FLASH erase has two phases. The first phase erases the
CPS configuration database, which contains all nonvolatile data except the IP
address. The second phase erases the IP address and restores the CPS to its
factory default settings.
To reinitialize the CPS:
1. Locate the recessed INIT button on the front of the CPS. You will need a
non-conductive, non-metallic tool that fi ts inside the recess.
2. Insert the tool in the recess, then depress and hold the button. The
ONLINE LED will blink, indicating a CPS initialization has been
requested. You have approximately seven seconds to release the button
before any action is taken.
After seven seconds, the ONLINE LED will blink more rapidly to confi rm
that the CPS confi guration database has been erased. Continuing to hold
the INIT button for a few more seconds will erase the IP address as well.
The ONLINE LED will blink faster to confi rm the deletion.
If any portion of FLASH is erased, the CPS reboots when the INIT button is released.
You can also use the Server FLASH command to update the CPS FLASH
application or boot program. For more information, see Server FLASH
command in Chapter 5.
