Model 2616RC T-DAC User Manual 3 • Configuring the T-DAC for operation
• Hard Reset—this button (see figure 26 ) causes the Model 2616RC to perform a cold restart. When you
select Hard Reset, the T-DAC confirms that you want to execute this command. Then, the T-DAC will
disconnect all current sessions, re-initialize the interfaces, and re-load configuration parameters from
FLASH.
• Set Factory Default Configuration—this button (see figure 26 ) clears out the configuration in FLASH and
loads the factory default parameters into FLASH memory. The factory default settings will not execute on
the Model 2616RC until it is re-booted by doing a Hard Reset.
Note Set Factory Default Configuration ( figure 26 ) will delete any routing
information, the Model 2616RC’s Ethernet IP address, and any other
site-specific settings made for your particular installation. You will
have to re-enter the Model 2616RC’s Ethernet IP address and net-
mask using the rear panel control port before using the
HTTP/HTML Management pages.
Configuring the default gateway

port. The 2616RC does not transmit or receive user data nor any other traffic via the default gateway IP
address or the Ethernet port.
Do the following to add the default gateway:
1. On the 2616RC Configuration Menu, click the IP hyperlink to open the IP Configuration page.
2. Click the Routing Info hyperlink to open the IP Routing Information page ( figure 27 ).
