If this occurs, the termination unit connectivity can be restored viaa terminal directly connected to the COM port.Two methods can be used to restore access to the user interface: Reset COM Port – Allows you to reset the configuration options related toCOM port usage. This also causes a device reset, where the termination unitperforms a Device Self-Test. No security-related configuration options arechanged.

Thismethod is also useful when the user’s password(s) have been forgotten. ProcedureTo reset COM port settings:1. At the terminal that is directly connected to the unit’s COM port, configure theterminal to operate at 9.6 kbps, using character length of 8 bits, with onestop-bit, and no parity.2. Reset the unit, then immediately and repeatedly press Enter at a rate ofabout 1 press per second until the System Paused screen appears.3.
