Resetting CC-SG

You can reset CC-SG to purge the database or to reset other components to their factory default settings. You should perform a backup and save the backup file to another location before using any reset options.

It is recommended to use the default options selected.

Note: CC-SG Backup files that are saved on the CC-SG unit are not deleted by resetting CC-SG. You must manually delete each file to remove it from CC-SG. See Saving and Deleting Backup Files.

Option

Description

Full Database

This option removes the existing CC-SG database and builds a new version with the factory default values. Network settings, SNMP agents, firmware, and Diagnostic Console settings are not part of the CC-SG database.

The SNMP configuration and traps are reset. The SNMP agent is not reset.

IP-ACL settings are reset with a Full Database reset whether you select the IP ACL Tables option or not.

The Neighborhood configuration is removed with the reset so CC-SG no longer "remembers" being a Neighborhood member if it was.

When the database is removed, all devices, nodes, and users are removed. All remote authentication and authorization servers are removed.

Your CC Super User account will be reset to default. After the reset operation is complete, you must login with the default username and password admin/raritan.

Save Personality Settings

This option can be selected only when you select Full CC-SG Database Reset.

This option saves some previously configured options as the CC-SG database is rebuilt.

  1. Before you reset, back up CC-SG and save the backup file to a remote location. See Backing Up CC-SG.
  2. Choose System Maintenance > Reset.
  3. Select the reset options.
  4. Type your CC-SG password.
  5. Broadcast message: Type the message that will display to users who will be logged off CC-SG.
  6. Enter the number of minutes (from 0-720) that should elapse before CC-SG performs the reset operation.

    If specifying over 10 minutes, the broadcast message displays to users immediately, and then repeats at 10 and 5 minutes before the event occurs.

  7. Click OK. A message appears to confirm the reset.

Do NOT power off, power cycle, or interrupt CC-SG when reset is in progress. Doing this may result in the loss of CC-SG data.
