VMG1312-B10A: Factory Reset

Reset to AAISP Defaults

To 'factory' reset the router, follow these steps:

1. Switch router on, wait for it to boot up
2. With a paperclip, pen, etc, hold in the reset button
3. Wait until the power light turns red (should be up to 10 seconds)
4. Release the reset button
5. Wait for the router to boot up again

Factory reset state

The factory reset state is the state the router was in when we sent it to you. In most cases that will mean is has been given our 'standard' configuration. This configuration has settings for it to talk back to AAISP and request it's own configuration for the line that it's connected to.

• For more information about the AAISP configuration see: VMG1312-AAISP Configuration

A factory reset router will also be send an updated firmware if there is one available.

Reset to the ZyXEL Factory Settings

To erase the default AAISP settings, the 'ROM-D' needs to be cleared, this is done via the CLI (Telnet or SSH) using the supervisor user and then issuing the 'save_default clean' command.

Here is an example:

$ telnet 90.155.90.129
Trying 90.155.90.129...
Connected to brick.h.hearn.org.uk.
Escape character is '^]'.
VMG1312-B10A
Login: supervisor
Password:
 > save_default clean
ROM-D cleaned.

At this point you can reset the router for this to be applied. The router will then boot up in it's original factory settings without any of the AAISP configuration settings. You can reset the router by holding in the reset button for 5 seconds.
