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)

• 4. In case of a box power up the device or in case of a card plug the card in your computer and power up the device.
• 5. After you power up the device it should be reachable again with the default IP address 10.0.0.2. or a new IP address. Open your browser with the address and wait until you get a response from the beroNet device (this could take a couple of minutes. see picture below).

• 6. Press the Firmware-Update button (see picture above).
• 7. Install the new firmware (see picture below).

• 8. Power off the device and remove the jumper.
• 9. Power up the device. The device is now ready with factory defaults.
