2.7.1 Resetting the Prestige
If you forget your password or cannot access the SMT menu, you will need to reload the factory-default
configuration file. Uploading this configuration file replaces the current configuration file with the factory-
default configuration file. This means that you will lose all configurations that you had previously 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 set to none. The password will be reset to “1234”, also.
Turn off the Prestige and begin a terminal emulation software session with the default console port settings.
Turn on the Prestige again. When you see the message "Press Any key to enter Debug Mode within 3
seconds", press any key to enter debug mode. You should already have downloaded the correct file from
your nearest ZyXEL FTP site. See
section
12.4 for more information on how to transfer the configuration file
to your Prestige.
Procedure To Use The Reset Button
Make sure the
SYS
led is on (not blinking) before you begin this procedure.
Step 1.
Press the
RESET
button for ten seconds, then release it. If the
SYS
LED begins to blink, the
defaults have been restored and the Prestige restarts. Otherwise, go to step 2.
Step 2.
Turn the Prestige off.
Step 3.
While pressing the
RESET
button, turn the Prestige on.
Step 4.
Continue to hold the
RESET
button. The
SYS
LED will begin to blink and flicker very
quickly after about 10 or 15 seconds. This indicates that the defaults have been restored and
the Prestige is now restarting.
