How to reset a Tesira device to factory defaults

User data

The factory reset permanently clears all user data from your Tesira device. If you need to keep the configuration file, please save it to a PC before performing the reset. The configuration file cannot be recovered from any Biamp Tesira device once the reset has been performed.

A factory reset also erases the device's Event Logs. The log of a factory-reset device contains its first boot-up sequence.

Network settings

The factory reset procedure will affect the networking settings of your Tesira device.

The Host Name will change back into the default format: for example TesiraForte01234567. The device description will be emptied.

The factory default setting for all Tesira devices is to obtain an IP address automatically. In this mode, the device will first try to contact a DHCP server in order to request an IP address from it. If no DHCP server is present on the network, the device automatically assigns itself a link-local IP address.
