Restore factory default settings from the web UI

You can use the Factory Default Settings operation from the web UI to reset the configuration of a Hub to the factory default settings. The restore process clears all current settings (including all previously stored client IDs and certificates), deletes all Hub and AnywhereUSB Manager keys, resets the password for the administrative user, and restores the settings to the factory defaults.

When restoring the Hub to the factory defaults from the web UI, you can choose to retain the stored IP configuration, which is configured on the Ethernet Network Configuration page.

Note You can also use the factory-default CLI command for all Hub models, and the Reset button on the Hub to restore the factory default settings. Note that these methods do not allow you choose whether you want to retain the stored IP configuration.

Open the web UI.
Make a backup copy of the configuration using the Backup/Restore operation to save the current configuration in case you want to restore it at a later time.
Click Factory Default Settings from the Administration section. The Factory Default Settings page appears.
Determine whether you want to retain the current DHCP and manual configuration settings. IP configuration option: automatic (automatically obtain an IP address each time you power on the Hub) or static (manually assign an IP address).
- Do not select the Keep Stored IP Configuration option to remove the current IP configuration option. In this situation, the DHCP (Auto IP) process is used. For more information about DHCP and Auto IP, see Automatically obtain an IP address for the Hub. This is the default.
- Select the Keep Stored IP Configuration option to retain the current IP configuration option. The IP, netmask, gateway, and DNS values will be used for the network configuration. These manual values are kept in the configuration settings even if you are currently using DHCP, so you can flip back and forth.
Click Restore. The Hub is rebooted.
You must re-deploy the Hub.
