MN-500 Base Station Configuration Guide 9

Management Settings

When you want to change the settings related to the management of your base station (for example, resetting the

base station, backing up or restoring settings, establishing time settings, or changing the password), use the

Management menu in the Base Station Management Tool. The following sections describe how to perform

management-related tasks.

Reset the Base Station

You can reset the base station when you experience any of the following problems:

You have DHCP enabled on the base station, but the base station is not assigning IP addresses.

The computers on the network are no longer able to connect to the Internet.

The base station is not performing as expected.

When you reset the base station, you are forcing it to reinitialize and restart all of its functions. The base station

settings will not change when you reset the base station.

Note You can also reset the base station by using the reset button on the base station itself. For more information

about how to perform a hardware reset, see Chapter 1 of your printed User’s Guide.

To reset the base station

1. Open the Base Station Management Tool, and then click Management.

2. On the Management menu, click Reset.

3. On the Reset Base Station page, click Reset. While the reset is in progress, the Power light on the base station

blinks and then turns orange. When the light is solid green, the reset is complete.

If you want to open the Base Station Management Tool after the reset is complete, type your base station password

on the Logon page. Do not attempt to log on until the reset is complete and the power light on the base station is

solid green.

Restore Factory Default Settings

You can restore the base station to its factory default settings if absolutely necessary. When you restore factory

default settings, you clear any special base station configurations that you have established. You will need to

reconfigure your base station settings or restore these settings from a backup file.

You should restore the original factory default settings only under the following circumstances:

You are experiencing serious problems with your base station, and resetting the base station does not fix the

problem.

You cannot remember your base station password.

If you cannot remember your base station password, you will not be able to open the Base Station Management

Tool. In this situation, you must restore the factory default settings from the base station, and then use the default

password admin to log on to the Base Station Management Tool and reconfigure your settings. For more

information about how to restore factory default settings from the base station itself, see Chapter 1 of your printed

User’s Guide.

To restore factory default settings

1. Open the Base Station Management Tool, and then click Management.

2. On the Management menu, click Back Up and Restore.

3. Under Restore Factory Default Settings, click Restore Settings. While the original factory default settings are

being restored, the power light on the base station blinks and then turns orange. When the light is solid green,

the settings have been restored.

To open the Base Station Management Tool after the settings are restored, type admin as the password on the

Logon page. Do not attempt to log on to the base station until the settings are restored and the Power light on the

base station is solid green.

After you restore the factory default settings, you should navigate to each page of the Base Station Management

Tool and reestablish the network settings you want, or restore the base station settings by using a backup file. For

information about creating a backup file of your settings, see the following section.
