4.3. Reset Unit to Defaults

If Option Switch settings are changed, the new settings will not

be applied until the unit is reset to default settings. There are

two ways to reset the unit to defaults:

Note: When these reset procedures are performed,

all user selected parameters, including passwords

and port names will be lost. Prior to performing

these reset procedures, it is strongly recommended

to save configuration parameters to an ASCII text

file as described in Section 7.

4.3.1.

Default Button / Reset Button (Local)

Typically, this method is used when you have immediate access

to the installation site.

1. Simultaneously press the DEFAULT and RESET buttons,

located on the NPS-2HD Back Panel.

2. Release the RESET button, wait for approximately five

seconds, and then release the DEFAULT button.

4.3.2.

Default Parameters Option

To reset the unit to default parameters using the General

Parameters Menu's "Default Parameters" option, proceed

as follows. Note that this method requires that you have already

connected a local or remote PC to the unit and have accessed the

command mode.

1. Access the NPS Command Mode (see Section 6.1).
2. At the NPS> command prompt, type /G and press [Enter].

The General Parameters menu will appear.

3. From the General Parameters menu, type A and press

[Enter]. If command confirmation is enabled, the unit

will display a "Sure?" prompt. Type Y and press [Enter]

to proceed with the reset procedure. After a brief pause,

parameters will be reset to default values.
Note: If the Default Parameters function is invoked

via the Network Port, the IP Address will not be

reset. If this function is invoked via the Console

Port or Modem Port, the IP Address will be reset.
