How to reset Unity Express

dheavey30

While trying to get Unity Express 1.0 working I have managed to get into a situation where I try to log in as anybody through the GUI and it gives me the error 'ip connectivity problem with host router'.

I was able to log in previously as the admin user but I stupidly told it to skip the initial config setup. The next time I tried to login I got the error message,

I would now like to reset Unity Express to the facory default settings as something is obviously untoward.

Does anybody know how to do this?

Also I need to find out the break sequence for the CLI in CUE. CTRL+c doesn't seem to work.

Many thanks

Ok, there's a few questions here...

first of all, to break out from CUE, you need to enter Ctrl++6 followed by 'x'. that will drop you back to the router where you can enter the 'disconnect' command. (a future release, probably 2.0, will include a command to disconnect straight from CUE).

Resetting CUE to the factory defaults involves re-imaging the card. There is no simple command that will reset everything to the beginning otherwise. Just follow the instructions to upgrade to a new image. For that matter, if this really is 1.0, I would strongly encourage you to upgrade to 1.1.1. It's got a lot of fixes, in particular, if you're running 1.0.1, it has a new file system which is much more resilient to problems due to unexpected power outages.

Now, regarding the original problem, it sounds like there's an ip connectivity problem of some sorts. There are a few things that will need to be checked:

- make sure the router has a service-module interface with an ip address (or ip unnumbered to an interface that is up (show int)

- make sure the service-module interface is not down (show int)

- if IP unnumbered, make sure there's a host route, eg ip route 1.2.3.4 255.255.255.255 service-engine 0/0, where 1.2.3.4 is the ip address of the CUE.

- under the service-engine interface, make sure there is an service-module ip address and service-module default-gateway (pointing to the ip

- in CUE, do a 'show ccn subsystem sip'. make sure the SIP gateway is the router's ip address.

If that all doesn't work, if you can post the configs from the CME and CUE. My suspicion, though, is that an ip address changed somewhere, probably on the CME side.

Another thing just came to mind thinking of CUE 1.0. You can also get that error if the proper callmanager express files are not loaded in flash or if 'ip http server' or 'ip http path flash:' are not in flash.

Check for those commands and you might want to re-download the CME GUI files.
