Dipswitches
On the back of the 10Base2 and 10Base-T interfaces, you will find a small
window where you can access three dipswitches labeled 1, 2, and 3 (see
Figure 1). The functions of the dipswitches are explained in Table 3.

Dipswitch Comments
1 Reserved. This dipswitch is not for customer use and
should be left in the “off” position.
2 Factory Defaults. With this dipswitch in the “on” posi-
tion, the unit boots up with its factory default settings
(including the default IP address) as if it were a new unit.
This means the unit uses the factory default settings
rather than the settings stored in EEPROM.
With this dipswitch in the “off” position, the unit boots up
using the settings in EEPROM rather than the default
settings. This dipswitch is in the “off” position from the
factory so the new settings you store will be used.
NOTE: Setting this dipswitch “on” will not clear any
settings you have stored in EEPROM. It simply
boots the unit in a different state with the
settings in EEPROM temporarily ignored.
If you would like to return all the stored settings back to
factory defaults, issue the
save default
or
store tcpip
from default
commands at any point. Just remember to
boot the unit with this dipswitch set to “off” so these new
stored settings will be used.
3 Link Integrity Disable. This dipswitch determines
whether link integrity is turned on or off on the unit. For
example, it may be necessary to turn link integrity off if
the unit is connected to an older hub. Link integrity is
only applicable to the 10Base-T interface. The default is
“off.”
