Performing a Factory Reset
It is necessary to perform a factory reset in an IOX replacement scenario when an old device is replaced with a new one in order to delete configuration files saved in the filesystem. A factory reset can be performed manually using the IOX buttons, or through a telnet session using the iox_reset command.
To perform a factory reset manually using the IOX buttons, follow the steps below.
- Press and hold the Reset button.
- Press and hold the Connect button.
- Release the Reset button.
- Wait 10 seconds.
- Release the Connect button.
- Perform a wink action to verify device operations. Wink action is described in Identifying and Testing a Device, on page Testing Devices and Managing Datapoints.
