Chapter 2 Introducing the Web Configurator

43

If you forget your password or cannot access the web configurator, you will need to reload the 
factory-default configuration file or use the RESET button on the side panel of the ZyAIR. 
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. The password will be reset to 1234.

Make sure the SYS LED is on (not blinking) before you begin this procedure. 

Press

 the RESET button for ten seconds or until the SYS LED, LINK LED or BDG/

RPT LED turns red, and then release it. If the SYS LED begins to blink, the defaults have 
been restored and the ZyAIR restarts. Otherwise, go to step 2.

Turn the

 ZyAIR off.

While

 pressing the RESET button, turn the ZyAIR on.

Continue 

to hold the RESET button. The SYS LED will begin to blink and

 

flicker very 

quickly after about 20 seconds. This indicates that the defaults have been restored and the 
ZyAIR is now restarting.

Release

 the RESET

button and wait for the ZyAIR to finish restarting.

You can erase the current configuration and restore factory defaults in three ways:

Use the RESET button on the side panel of the ZyAIR to upload the default configuration file 
(hold this button in for about 10 seconds or until the SYS LED, LINK LED or BDG/RPT 
LED turns red). Use this method for cases when the password or IP address of the ZyAIR is 
not known.

Use the web configurator to restore defaults (refer to 

Transfer the configuration file to your ZyAIR using FTP. See later in the part on SMT 
configuration for more information.

We use the G-3000H web configurator in this guide as an example. The web configurator 
screens for your model may vary slightly for different ZyAIR models.

The following summarizes how to navigate the web configurator from the MAIN MENU 
screen.
