When supplied by AAISP, the router will be in the 'AAISP defaultBase settingsSettings' state. This is a temporary state and the router will getreceive its ownline-specific configuration when it first logs in.
Holding in the reset button will revert the configuration back to the AAISP default settings. Further work is needed to revert the config back to the ZyXEL factory settings. See below.

To 'factory' reset the router to the AAISP base settings, follow these steps:
 
#Switch router on, wait for it to boot up
#With a paperclip, pen, etc., hold in the reset button
#Wait until the power light turnsflashes red, (shouldkeep beholding upit todown until power 5stops seconds)flashing.
#Release the reset button
#Wait for the router to boot up again
 
==About the AAISP DefaultBase settings==
 
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'sits own configuration for the line that it's connected to.
 
When a router inis it'sin AAISP defaultBase settingsSettings it will connect to AAISP using a temporary 'provisioning' login. This default configuration will connect either by the DSL port or the WAN 4 port. When it connects the router will be sent a software upgrade if there is one available, and then will be sent its individual configuration for the connection.
 
*For more information about the AAISP configuration see: [[VMG1312-AAISP Configuration]]
==Reset to the ZyXEL Factory Settings==
 
To erase the default AAISP settings, the 'ROM-D' file needs to be cleared, this is done via the CLI (Telnet or SSH) using the supervisor user and then issuing the '<syntaxhighlight inline enclose="none" lang="bash">save_default clean'</syntaxhighlight> command.
 
Here is an example:
 
<syntaxhighlight lang=bash highlight="1,6,7,8" lang="bash">
$ telnet 90.155.90.129
Trying 90.155.90.129...
VMG1312-B10A
Login: supervisor
Password: [your admin password]
> save_default clean
ROM-D cleaned.
</syntaxhighlight>
 
At this point you can reset the router for this to be applied. The router will then boot up in it'sits original factory settings without any of the AAISP configuration settings. You can reset the router by holding in the reset button for 5 seconds.
 
In this state, the router has its default IP address, username and password.

=Adding the AAISP rom-d file=
If you need to restore an AAISP rom-d file, then here are the steps to take. Support are able to provide you with the rom-d file on request.
 
FTP is used to add the rom-d file. Here the AAISP provided rom-d file is actually called vmg1312-b.rom-d, so when we upload it we have to specify the target file name of rom-d. (the lines highlighted contain things you need to type in)
 
<syntaxhighlight highlight="1,5,9,16" lang="bash">
$ ftp supervisor@192.168.0.1
Connected to 192.168.0.1.
</syntaxhighlight>
 
At this point the ftp connection is closed and as it says, the router will reboot. The router will still need to be reset before the router will use the rom-d settings. Once reset though, the router will use the AAISP defaultBase settingsSettings to get online, retrieve a new firmware if available and then retrieve a config file for the line.
 
 
If you get an error such as:
[[Category:ZyXEL_VMG1312|Reset]]
bftpd:error:341.231:cmsImg_validateImage:1514:Could not determine image format [72063 bytes]
Then this will be due to the Firmware version not matching the version that the config file was made for. See the [[VMG1312: Software|Software Page]] for information about the software versions.
