Resetting Defaults

The definition of "resetting defaults" can have quite a few meanings in a device as complex as the IoTServer (Babel Buster 4). Truly requiring that you reset to factory defaults would require that you upload all of the original largely blank configuration files and then force a reconfigure of the system. But resetting defaults sometimes only means "I lost my IP address, how do I get it back?"

A number of reset options are attached to the hidden reset button. These are discussed on the Hardware Details page.

You will find these two buttons at the bottom of the Task Configuration page. Force Reconfig means wipe out the databases, and reload everything from the XML files that are displayed for the various tasks within the task configuration page and task selections. After clearing out all of the existing databases, then click Reboot Device to force a reboot, at which time it will reload the databases from the XML files provided.
