Wave - How to reset to default or recover through TFTP
Wave devices may be recovered by resetting the device back to its default state, or using TFTP recovery.
How to reset a Wave device to default
- Ensure the unit is powered on and has fully booted.
- Hold the reset button located near the ethernet port down for ~10 seconds.
- Release the reset button after ~10 seconds or when you see the Power LED start blinking blue.
How to place a Wave device into TFTP recovery mode
Wave devices in TFTP mode will try to obtain an IP via DHCP. This will be the same IP the devices normally obtain when not in TFTP mode. If no DHCP server is present, the device will use the fallback IP address of 192.168.1.20.
- Ensure the device is powered off.
- Hold the reset button down while applying power to the unit and hold it for ~15 seconds.
- Release the reset button when the Power LED starts alternating between blue and white.
