This procedure lets you reset the SBC Edge (SBC) to factory defaults. You might want to use this procedure in certain recovery scenarios like lost admin password or lost IP address etc.
Resetting SBC Edge to factory defaults removes all user-configured data. This including user names, passwords, customized IP addresses, etc..
If your ASM is already initialized and Lync SBA is deployed, resetting the SBC to factory defaults does not reset the ASM/SBA configuration settings. If you wish to reset the ASM to factory defaults, then you must Re-initialize the ASM.
To Reset Configuration to Factory Defaults
There are three methods for resetting the SBC to a factory default state:
Shut down the SBC, press and hold the reset button while the unit is powered on. Hold the reset button until the Alarm Status LED first turns yellow and then goes out.
After the SBC system has booted, it can be re-initialized by Running Initial Setup.
To reset the SBC to factory defaults from the UI:
In the left navigation pane, go to System > SBC Edge Factory Default.
This selection performs a total factory reset. After the operation is complete, the SBC can be re-initialized by Running Initial Setup.
This selection removes all configuration information from the SBC with the exception of the Logical Interfaces, Ethernet ports, VLANs, ACLs, Static Routes, ASM Networking, Node-Level Settings and Certificate configurations. With this option the SBC can still be reached through a browser pointed at its application IP Address.
