C20 TC5.0 FACTORY RESET ISSUE

Chet Cronin

Level 4

Need some assistance please.

I have a C20 running TC5.0 software.

Using the quick set c20 document for factory reset ... I power down the system.  Than press and hold to power up and get the LED (GRN) blinking.

Problem is that when I press and hold the button the LED GRN light never comes up.  After about 8-10 seconds I get the RED Led.  When I release the button the system commenses a normal start up.  ?????

 

Any ideas as I need to get the password reset on the thing.

The factory reset procedure was changed in software version TC5.1, so anything before that has a different procedure than more current versions.

As Jens has mentioned - the factory reset procedure is different on the version of software you're running, so, in your case, with the TC5.0 software, you'll need to use the "old way".

There's a description of the two methods in jrandby's post in the c20-factory-default-power-button thread.

As mentioned in the troubleshooting guides (pages 22-25), the Hardware Method of performing a factory reset is one of the last resort options - there are other methods you should try first.

C20 - TC5.0 and earlier:

Press and hold the on/off button for 10 seconds, LED does not light up.

After 10 seconds the LED starts blinking (1 second ON, 0.5 seconds OFF).

Within the next 2 seconds press twice on the on/off button.

Call LED lights up continuously while “factory reset” is being performed (minimum 3 seconds).

System boots up as normal.

If that doesn't work, telnet into the system and type;

xCommand systemunit FactoryReset Confirm: Yes
