3.5 Resetting the Prestige
If you forget your password or for some reason cannot access the SMT menu, you will need to reload the
configuration file. Uploading the configuration file replace the current configuration file with the new configuration
file. This means that you will lose all configurations that you had before and the speed of the console port will be
reset to the default of 9600bps with 8 data bit, no parity, one stop bit and flow control none. The password will be
reset to 1234, also.
To obtain the default configuration file, download it from the FTP site, unzip it and save it in a folder. Turn off and
then on the Prestige and begin a session. When you turn on the Prestige again you will see the initial screen. When
you see the message “Press any key to enter Debug Mode within 3 seconds” press any key to enter debug mode.
3.6 General Setup
Menu 1 - General Setup contains administrative and system-related information as well as DNS server
information.
3.6.1 DNS Server Address
DNS (Domain Name System) is for mapping a domain name to its corresponding IP address and vice versa, e.g.,
the IP address of www.zyxel.com is 204.217.0.2. The DNS server is extremely important because without it, you
must know the IP address of a machine before you can access it.
Select option 1 from the Main Menu by typing 1 at the menu selection number prompt. If your P1600 is configured
as a primary you will see the following screen. Once you enter the system name it will be displayed in the Main
Menu in brackets.
