Initialize Configuration Information

This article explains how to initialize only the amnimo configuration information. Unlike “Restore to Factory Defaults (Initialize),” rootfs, logs, SSDs, and other items are not initialized.

This procedure initializes the configuration information for this product. There are two methods: using the switch on the device and using the CLI.

Differences from “Restore to Factory Defaults (Initialize)”

❶ Procedure Using the Switch on the Device

1. Set the DIP switch on the front of the device to “U-Boot command mode.”

   * No operation is required for the AC Series.

   

2. When the device starts up, press and hold the PUSH switch for at least 3 seconds. The configuration information is initialized.

   * For the AC10, press and hold the PUSH switch (SW) on the back until the MOB and ANT LEDs on the top of the device flash simultaneously.

   Example for AG10: The switch labeled “SW” (red box) to the right of the CONFIG port on the front of the device.

   

   Example for AG20: The area outlined in red in the figure is the PUSH switch (SW).

   

   Example for AC10: The switch labeled “SW” (red box) between the SIM0 and SIM1 slots on the back of the device.

   

   Example for AC25: The area outlined in red in the figure is the PUSH switch (SW).

   

3. When only the PWR LED is lit, save the settings.

   ⚠ Note: The configuration files stored on the device are not initialized. If you restart the device after this operation without writing to the configuration files, it will start with the settings from before initialization.

   For instructions on saving the settings, see the following manuals.

   • CLI User's Manual - 3.4 Write to the Configuration File
   • GUI User's Manual - Save the Current Settings to This Product

❷ Procedure Using the CLI

1. Enter the command to initialize the configuration information.

   amnimo# config initialize

2. A message asking whether it is OK to overwrite the settings is displayed. To proceed with initialization, enter y and press Enter.

   Do you want to initialize the settings? (y/n):

3. After processing proceeds, a message asking whether to save the settings and restart the device is displayed. Enter y and press Enter to start the restart. The device starts with the configuration information initialized.

   Would you like to save settings and reboot the system? (y/n): 

4. After startup, begin by setting the password.

   Need to register for a new password.
   Enter password for admin.
   Enter new password:  ← Enter a new password and press Enter
   Retype new password:  ← Enter the new password again and press Enter
   passwd: password updated successfully.

Appendix: Initializing Nx Witness Settings

The operations above do not initialize the Nx Witness server settings installed on the AG10 / AG20. To also initialize the Nx Witness server settings, perform the following procedure.

STEP 1　Change the Password in the Nx Witness Settings

When working in the GUI

1. Open Nx Witness Settings from Advanced Settings and Control in the sidebar.

2. Change the password to admin and click Save Current Settings to Device.

   

When working in the CLI

1. Enter amsh mode using the amsh command.
2. Enter administrator mode using the enable command.
3. Enter configuration mode using the configure command.

admin@amnimo:~$ amsh
amnimo$ enable
password:
amnimo#
amnimo# configure
amnimo(cfg)#

4. Enter nxwitness to enter nxwitness configuration mode, and enter password.
5. When prompted to enter the password, enter admin. When prompted to enter it again, enter the same password.
6. Run the config file save command to save the settings.

amnimo(cfg)# nxwitness
amnimo(cfg-nxwitness)# password
Enter new password: ← Enter the password (admin) and press Enter
Retype new password: ← Enter the password (admin) and press Enter
amnimo(cfg-nxwitness)# exit
amnimo(cfg)# exit
amnimo# config file save
