Method 2: Telnet

   Open a Telnet/PuTTY connection to the device’s IP address on port 23. Use the same methods described above to determine the device IP.

2. At the prompt (/usr/local/bin/ #), enter:
   reset_to_default.sh

   

   • To retain the current IP address while resetting all other settings (if supported by the firmware), use:
