Return the Extender to Its Factory Default Settings

Under some circumstances (for example, if you have lost track of the changes that you made
to the extender settings), you might want to erase the configuration and reset it to factory
default settings.
To reset the extender to factory default settings, you can use either the Restore Factory
Settings button on the rear panel or the Erase function. However, if you have lost the
password to access the extender, you must use the Restore Factory Settings button.
