Factory default using the Reset button
If the unit is down and not providing Internet access, this is the quickest way to recover the unit.
- Use a pin size object to press the physical Teset button located on the back of the RG.
- Hold down the reset button for 15+ seconds until the lights flash red and yellow.
- When the lights stop flashing, release the reset button.
- Wait for the RG to come back online completely. Do not unplug or reboot the RG.
Note: If the RGs do not have a custom default configuration/build which contains the ACS Management URL in the TR-069 settings, then the device needs to be allocated to your Activation Server (contact Product Support if you have questions on this). A factory default will clear out these settings if they are only loaded into the running configuration.
Factory default an individual device through Device Manager
- Select the subscriber within Device Manager.
- Expand the Expert drop down menu.

Factory default multiple devices using a bulk operation
- Review the document on creating a Bulk Operation.

- Name: provide a name to indicate purpose of bulk operation.
- Solicit Devices: Check.
- Solicit Attempts: Default is 1 but more attempts can be selected.
- Action: Select TR069 - Default Device from the list of options. If it does not appear in the Actions list, then go to Administration -> Scripts -> Search and search for TR069 - Default Device. Select it to make it usable in Bulk Operations.
- Run: Once
- Day of Week: Select the day/evening you plan to run this.
- Run From: ADTRAN recommends running the bulk operation between 2 am and 5 am local time.
- Filter Criteria: You can use the Available Columns list to search for the filter. It could be based on MAC address, label, firmware version, etc.
- All other settings can remain at the defaults.
- Click Create.
Note: ADTRAN recommends testing on a few devices first before applying to a larger number of deployed RGs.
