Reset Button
This button has three (3) functions:

  • Diagnostic print-out. If held down for 3 seconds, a diagnostic print-out will be sent to the attached printer.
    • Ensure the printer is ready.
    • Both Print LEDs will flash simultaneously during the diagnostic printing.

  2. Hold the Reset Button down while you Power On.
  3. Keep holding the Reset Button for a few seconds, until the RED LED has flashed TWICE.
  4. Release the Reset Button. The LevelOne Broadband Router is now using the factory default values.
