The router can be reset to factory defaults using the SDM Reset to
Factory Default wizard.
Access the wizard by selecting Reset to
Factory Default from the Wizard Mode category bar. The Reset to Factory
Default window opens.
This wizard contains two steps:
-
Save Running Config to PC – This function copies the running
configuration of the router to the SDM host PC. SDM verifies that this step is
completed before allowing the user to continue with the reset procedure.
-
Reset Router – This function performs the actual reset
procedure.
Step 1 Click Save Running Config to PC. SDM
prompts the user to select a directory on the local PC where it will store the
configuration file.

NOTE:
Before proceeding with step 2, understand how to reconnect to the
router following the reset procedure. The wizard window explains the process
for reconnecting to the router. Make sure to read and understand this procedure
before continuing with step 2.

Step 2 Click Reset Router. The connection to
SDM will be lost. Wait a couple of minutes while the router resets and then
reloads with the default settings.
Now SDM can reconnect using the lowest numbered LAN interface of the
router.
