Resetting the System to
Factory Defaults
This appendix provides instructions for resetting the system to the
factory default settings using the sysclean command.
Overview of the Sysclean Command
The sysclean command is used to restore the system to factory
defaults, this allows for complete re-configuration. It will remove the
prom information which includes the prom IP addressing
information. Use this command with caution. Once the sysclean
command is complete, the Edge will issue bootp requests for initial IP
configuration.
Using the Sysclean Command
Use the following procedure to restore the system to the factory
default settings:
1. Connect to the serial port of the UltraNet Edge 3000 to issue the
abort command.
It is possible to issue the abort command from a telnet session,
however, the serial port method is recommended because the
telnet session will most likely be lost.
NOTE: To connect via the serial port, use the Ethernet straight through
Category 5 cable and the EE adapter.
