This Howto describes how to do a factory reset on a beroNet device. This could be useful in case of a lost password or in any case where you lost the connection to the beroNet device. This feature works only with firmware version > 1.12 and FPGA image version >= 3. The Hardware Factory Reset deletes all data on the beroNet device incl. the firmware and restores the default values. There are 8 steps how to initiate the Hardware Factory Reset.
- 1. Power off the card/device.
- 2. In case of a card remove the card from your computer. In case of a box check if you can access the PCM connector on the rear from the outside, otherwise open the box.
- 3. Card:Short the two pins horizontal with a jumper (the yellow marked rectangle see picture below). Box: Short the two pins vertically with a jumper (the yellow marked rectangle see picture below)
