Reset the bridge 1400 to default setting does not work

[Chieu Dinh]

I am trying the reset to clear the image on the bridge 1400 by using the reset the bridge to default setting but it does not work

Follow the steps below:

Step 1 Disconnect the power jack from the power injector.

Step 2 Press and hold the power injector's MODE button while you reconnect the power jack.

Step 3 Hold the MODE  button until the Status LED turns amber (approximately 1 to 3 seconds)  and wait until the bridge boots up (Status LED turns green). All bridge  settings return to factory defaults.

The green light in the power injector is green and the ethernet activity (connect to the laptop) is green but cant' get to 10.0.0.1.

Question:

- is there any hard reset on the bridge so I can reset it?

- The power injector does not connect to serial port so how can I connect to the bridge?

Any helps, I am really appreciated that

Just a thought, you have your laptop or computer set to somehting like 10.0.0.2 and the 1400 directly cabled into your computer right?  so try setting a constant ping to the 10.0.0.1 address and then do the above commands and see if at any point the address responds?  If the device is connected to a network with DHCP on it, it's pulling a DHCP address which is why you can't reach it at 10.0.0.1.. That being the case there is tool called the IPSU utility that will find the bridge and IP for you
