Restoring Factory Settings – User Supplied Mode Limitations
NOTE:
In Release 3 and 3.1, there is a known issue that arises if the selected device
addressing mode is User-Supplied when the user restores the factory default
settings for the VMM.
4.5.1 Recovering from VMM Reset-to-Default in User-Supplied Mode
After restoring factory defaults, the VMM's addressing scheme is automatically set to Network
DHCP. This causes the network connection between the attached Ethernet devices and the
core network to become disabled.
There are three available options to recover from this situation and restore the connection to the
core network.
4.5.1.1
Resetting Device Addressing Mode Using Device Manager
Device Manager will be able to manage some but not all of the device parameters at this time.
The network operator may change the selected device addressing mode via Device Manager to
either User-Supplied or Statically-Provisioned.
4.5.1.2
Resetting Device Addressing Mode via Configuration Web Page
Because the factory default settings were restored, the VMM will offer one IP address via
DHCP. This address will be in the form 10.xx.yy.10, where xx and yy are based on the
transceiver MAC address as described in section 3.2 of this manual. The VMM will be
accessible via the 10.xx.yy.9 address. Once an Ethernet device has been attached to the VMM,
the configuration web page may be accessed at the 10.xx.yy.9 address and the device
addressing mode may be changed to either Remote-DHCP or Statically-Provisioned.
Be aware that the access password for the web page will have also been reset.
4.5.1.3
Resetting User-Supplied Parameters via Configuration Web Page
If the allowed device addressing modes were restricted to User-Supplied, the user may still
connect to the VMM (as described above) and access the configuration web page. The User-
Supplied parameters may then be set to usable values.
