Question: How can I set a Spider back to factory defaults?
Answer- To reset the unit back to factory settings:
You will need to connect up Serial to Console port cable, like a Cisco console cable to a Serial port on a PC or USB to serial adapter.
Then you will need to Connect a terminal or terminal emulator (e.g. HyperTerminal on a Windows PC) the serial interface.
Set the serial parameters of the terminal to
115200 baud
8 data bits
No parity
1 stop bit
no flow control.
1.Once connected hit enter for the menu. Type reset and you will be asked to validate (yes or no) once you have input yes.
2. Hold down the ESC key immediately, which should show up in less that 15 seconds with a => prompt.
3. At the prompt type in defaults and the Spider will go thru a 3 minutes reload and will come back to the main menu.
4. At this menu you can type config and give the unit it's IP address.
Note: you will be prompted when you log in via the web manager to make a new password change.
