1. Press and hold the Reset button.
2. While holding the Reset button, press and hold the Clear button.
3. Release the Reset button.
4. When the Test LED to the right of the Clear button begins flashing, release the Clear button.
It can take approximately 20-25 seconds for the switch to reboot. This process restores the switch configuration to the factory default settings.
