Restart & Factory Reset

The MGU3 has an external button (hole in the front) to make a HW reset of the board.

When the reset button is pressed and released, the reset line to the Device Processor (DP) is pulled which causes an immediate restart of the DP and reboot of SW.

Pressing the Reset button on the front of the Media Gateway for 5 seconds will reset your Media Gateway to its factory default factory settings.

Note: Using HW reset on a running live system reset should only be used as a last resort, since there is a risk of corrupting flash file system and/or configuration data.
