Resetting to Factory Defaults 
You may reset the non-volatile RAM that stores all configurable options.  This clears all administrator-editable 
fields and resets all command line configurable options to their default values, including all user accounts. 
You may reset the unit to factory defaults from the command line or the HTML interface, or by pressing the 
reset button.  You must have administrator-level privileges to issue the command.  Using the reset button may 
be necessary when a forgotten password prevents administrator login.  Each of the methods updates the 
current working configuration to the factory defaults. 
NOTE:  Resetting the unit resets all TCP/IP and Telnet/Web configurations.  Reconfiguring the TCP/IP and 
Telnet/web settings will be required. 
To reset to factory defaults from the HTML interface 
On the Restart page in the Tools section of the HTML interface, select 
Restart and reset to factory 
defaults 
from the drop-down menu and press 
Apply
.   
To reset to factory defaults from the command line 
At the AmpMeter PDU: prompt, type 
restart factory 
and press 
Enter
To reset to factory defaults using the reset button 
Locate the recessed reset button directly beside the Serial & Ethernet ports.  You will need a non-conductive, 
non-metallic tool that fits inside the recess. 
Insert the tool in the recess, then depress and hold the reset button for at least ten seconds.    
NOTE: If the reset button is depressed and held for more than 15 seconds, the reset will abort. 
Uploading Firmware 
You may upload new versions of firmware using File Transfer Protocol (FTP).  This allows access to new 
firmware releases for firmware improvements and new features additions.   
NOTE: To begin an FTP upload session, you must first configure the FTP Host address, username/password, 
filename and filepath.  For information on configuring the FTP settings required for firmware upload see FTP 
Administration
 o
n page 31.   
You may initiate an FTP upload session by issuing a command or from the HTML interface.  You must have 
administrator-level privileges to initiate an upload.   
To initiate an FTP upload session from the HTML interface 
On the Restart page in the Tools section of the HTML interface, select 
Restart and upload firmware via 
FTP

Apply
Upon issuing this command the unit will restart and upload the firmware file specified with the FTP Filename 
command from the previously configured FTP Host.  See See FTP Administration on page 31 for more 
information. 
To initiate an FTP upload session from the command line 
The Restart FTPLoad command initiates an upload of firmware.  Upon issuing this command the unit will restart 
and upload the firmware file specified with the FTP Filename command from the previously configured FTP 
Host.  See FTP Administration on page 31 for more information.
