Perform factory reset

If you’ve been testing with your Networked VGA Grid and are ready to reset it back to factory settings, you can do this through the Admin panel.

This section covers the following topics:

Restore factory configuration via the Admin panel

The Admin panel allows you to restore the factory configuration to return your Networked VGA Grid back to the original settings it had when you purchased it.

Restoring the factory settings erases everything on the system. This includes all your source settings, channels, configuration presets, network settings and all saved files.

Consider using the factory default configuration preset if you want to preserve files. See Configuration presets.

EDIDs are not restored to factory settings with the factory resets. Re-apply factory EDIDs manually using the Source's configuration page.

Only proceed if you know this is what you want to do.

To restore the factory configuration via the Admin panel:

  1. Login to the Admin panel as admin. See Connect to the Admin panel.
  1. Select the Maintenance link in the Configuration menu; the maintenance page opens.

  1. Click the Reset button next to Factory Reset; a warning dialog appears asking you to confirm this destructive action.

  1. Click OK on the warning dialog; the system resets to factory defaults and reboots.
  1. Wait for the system to reboot and begin re-configuration.

Restore factory configuration manually

Your VGA Grid HD Encoder can be reset to factory state, restoring all settings to original values.
