5 Resetting the DKVM-IP1 to Factory Defaults

This function can be used if you forget the password for logging in to the DKVM-IP1, or if you want
to return the DKVM-IP1 to its factory default settings as it was when you purchased it.
WARNING: The unit will reboot after this command. All current settings will be lost.
The following procedure will return the DKVM-IP1 to factory default settings:
1. Connect an RS-232 null modem cable from any Host-side computer to the DKVM-IP1 serial
port. Configure your terminal emulation program (such as HyperTerminal or PuTTY) with the
following settings: Baud rate 115200, Data/stop bits 8-1, Parity none, Flow control none.
Enter the DKVM-IP1's debugging mode. There are two ways to do this:
(a) Reboot the DKVM-IP1 device. During the first 2 seconds of boot-up, press the ESC key (on the
computer that's connecting through the serial port) a few times to get to a => prompt.
(b) Press and hold the computer's ESC button while you push and release the DKVM-IP1's Reset
button, and then release the ESC button after 2 seconds.
The debugging mode window will appear as shown below:
2. Key in the command "defaults" and then press Enter. The unit will automatically reset to
factory default settings and reboot the system.
WARNING: Resetting the DKVM-IP1 to factory defaults will clear all settings on the
device.
3. The window will display the following information when the reset to factory defaults has been
completed, and the DKVM-IP1 will automatically reboot.
