Backup and Restore

You can backup or restore the configuration, that is encrypted or decrypted by user specific password, to or from a local device.

If a USB storage device is inserted and detected, it can be used for SMM3 to preserve user configurations. SMM3 only keeps the latest configuration file in the USB storage device for backup and restore.
Note
The storage device can be a USB device depending on the machine types. The storage capacity of the USB storage device should be higher than 1 GB. The support file system is FAT32.
The following actions can be performed in the “Backup and Restore” section:

Reset SMM to Factory Defaults​

Restore the SMM3 to factory default settings.

You will lose all information and settings that are currently in the SMM, including: local users, network settings, power settings, events log, notification targets, imported certificates, etc. The SMM will restart automatically with factory default settings. You will have to reconnect to this SMM with a DHCP assigned IP address or the default address of 192.168.70.100. The login password will also be reset to factory default.

Note

  • By pressing the hardware reset button for more than four seconds, all settings (except for Time Setting) can be restored to out-of-factory default settings.

  • Only user with Administrator privilege can perform this function.

  • When Ethernet connections are temporarily dropped, you must log in to the SMM to access the SMM web interface.

  • When you use the Reset SMM to Factory Defaults option, you will lose all modifications that you have made to the SMM.
