Factory-Defaulting a Terminal
Factory-defaulting a terminal may occasionally be necessary to regain access to the unit if the master
password is lost, or if it is desired to quickly reset all GUI settings to default.

Note that any Licence Key which has been applied to the terminal will also be lost on factory default, and
will need to be re-entered to re-activate the Licensed features.

(a) The reset procedure below only functions when the terminal is in “Normal” Mode, it will not function
when the terminal is in “Alignment” mode. If it is suspected that the terminal is in “Alignment” mode, and
does not respond to the reset procedure, then it is necessary to ensure that it is definitely not in
does not respond to the reset procedure, then it is necessary to ensure that it is definitely not in
“Alignment” mode by either:
1. If the GUI webpage is contactable: Make sure that the alignment cap on the terminal case is closed.
Browse to the “Home – Administration – Installation” page on the GUI, and if necessary click on
“Change Mode” if the display is showing “Alignment mode”. The terminal should now be in “Normal
Mode”, and this should be displayed on the GUI webpage.

2. If the GUI webpage is not contactable: Make sure that the alignment cap on the terminal case is
closed. Power cycle the radio terminal, and it should now restart in “Normal Mode” if the alignment
cap is already closed when the power is re-applied.
(b) When it is certain that the radio terminal is in “Normal Mode” (and not “Alignment Mode”), then the
following procedure can be used to restore the radio terminal to factory default settings:
Short-out the Alignment interface and then remove and re-apply the short four times with 1 second mark
space ratio, as shown below. Shorting-out the alignment port can be achieved either by using the
protective Alignment Cap fitted, as this acts as an electrical short-circuit when closed, or else by shorting-
space ratio, as shown below. Shorting-out the alignment port can be achieved either by using the
protective Alignment Cap fitted, as this acts as an electrical short-circuit when closed, or else by shorting-
out the plugs on the voltmeter alignment cable used for installation. If the radio terminal does not reset
itself, it may be that the sequence was counted either too slowly or too quickly: there needs to be 1
second between each short-circuit or open-circuit change, as shown in the timing diagram.

second between each short-circuit or open-circuit change, as shown in the timing diagram.
(c) Note that if the Alignment Cap is disconnected for a period of more than 30 seconds, then the radio
terminal will automatically switch into “Alignment Mode”, see (a) above. Therefore it is recommended to
always keep the Alignment Cap connected, except when physically aligning the link.
