How to reset or factory restore Siemens S10 active device?
To reset or factory restore a Siemens S10 active device, there are a few methods that you can try. Here are the most common and recommended ways to do so:
1. Using a USB cable:
* Connect your Siemens S10 active device to your computer using a USB cable.
* Open the program that you have installed to access the device, e.g. IP INPUT SITY.
* On your device screen, press and hold "1 + 2 + 0 + 9" simultaneously for about 15 seconds until the device enters service mode.
* Once in service mode, press and hold "9" until the "Resource Mgt" screen appears.
* From the "Resource Mgt" screen, select "Factory Reset" and confirm with "TRAP".
* After the reset is complete, you will need to reset the PIN code on your device, which can be done using a universal programming device (UPD) or by contacting Siemens customer support.
2. Using the "manual" method:
* Press and hold the "9" key on your device until the "Resource Mgt" screen appears.
* From the "Resource Mgt" screen, select "Factory Reset" and confirm with "TRAP".
* After the reset is complete, you will need to reset the PIN code on your device, which can be done using a universal programming device (UPD) or by contacting Siemens customer support.
3. Using the "remote" method:
* Log in to your Siemens S10 active device using SSH (Secure Shell) or HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) protocol.
* Use the "admin" username and "password" to enter the device login screen.
* Once logged in, enter the command "man page exp conventions" and press Enter.
* From the list of available commands, enter "set" and press Enter.
* Enter the command "system" and press Enter.
* Enter the command "factory" and press Enter.
* If prompted, enter "YES" and press Enter to confirm the factory reset.
* Once the reset is complete, you will need to reset the PIN code on your device, which can be done using a universal programming device (UPD) or by contacting Siemens customer support.
Note: Before resetting your device, it is important to back up any important configuration files to avoid losing your data. Additionally, be aware that resetting your device to factory settings will erase all settings, including PIN codes, and it may take some time to reconfigure the device. It is recommended to only reset your device if necessary, and to always follow Siemens recommended procedures when doing so.
