Setting the Mode Switch

Switch 6 - Forced Download. Changing the position of this switch
(i.e., moving the switch from one position to the other) clears
download information from NVRAM and forces the 8H02-16 to
download a new image file from a BootP server.
After changing the position of switch 6 and restarting the 8H02-16, the
8H02-16 requests a new image download until it either receives a new
image or the RESET button on the front panel is pressed. When the
RESET button is pressed, the 8H02-16 continues trying to contact a
BootP server, but will time out in approximately one minute. If the
8H02-16 times out, the image is downloaded from its FLASH memory.
Switch 7 - Clear NVRAM. Changing the position of this switch resets
NVRAM on either the next power up or the next operation of the front
panel RESET switch. All user-entered parameters such as the IP
address and Community Names are replaced with the 8H02-16
“Default” configuration settings.
Switch 8 - Password Defaults. Changing the position of this switch
clears user-entered passwords stored in NVRAM, and restores the
default passwords. Once the 8H02-16 is reset, the passwords can either
be reentered or the default passwords (Public and ENTER or
RETURN) may be used.
NOTE
After changing the position of switch 6, DO NOT reapply power
to the 8H02-16 until there is a station acting as a BootP server,
which contains the image file.
NOTE
Do not change the position of switch 8 unless it is necessary to
reset the 8H02-16 Super-User configured passwords to their
factory default settings.
