Restoring System Settings To Factory Defaults - D-Link DFL-1100 User Manual

Restoring system settings to factory defaults

Use the following procedure to restore system settings to the factory defaults. This
procedure will possibly change the DFL-1100 firmware version to a lower version if it has
been upgraded. Make sure you have the current firmware file available for upload to the
device in the case where the firmware version is defaulted to an older version.
The factory reset procedure erases all configuration changes that have been made to the
DFL-1100 and reverts the system to its original configuration, including resetting of all
interface addresses.
Follow these steps to reset the DFL-1100 to factory default settings through the Web-
based Configuration:
Step 1. Under the Tools menu and the Reset section, click on the Reset to Factory
Defaults button.
Step 2. Click OK in the dialog to reset the unit to factory defaults, or press Cancel to
cancel.
Follow these steps to reset the DFL-1100 to factory default settings using the Console
Port at the rear of the device:
Step 1. Connect a PC with a Serial COM port to the COM port on the front of the DFL-
1100 using the provided Null Modem cable. Configure a Terminal Emulation program to
use the following settings: 9600 Baud, 8 Data Bits, No Parity, 1 Stop Bit, No Flow Control.
Step 2. Power Cycle the Firewall by either using the power switch on the rear of the
device, or through the webUI. In the Terminal Emulation program input ctrl-c to interrupt
the firmware loading procedure.
Step 3. Select the menu option to restart the Firewall with Factory Default settings. The
default settings will be applied and the firewall will restart. At this point the Firewall is
loading the factory default configuration.
Step 4. Allow at least 1 minute for the Firewall to completely restart. At this point the
firewall can be accessed via its default LAN IP (192.168.1.1) through a web browser. The
first login will require the use of the Wizard to complete basic connectivity configurations.
You can restore your system settings by uploading a previously generated system
configuration file to the DFL-1100 if a backup of the device has been downloaded to your
Local Machine Prior to reset.
