Access & Reset TX1012-P-DC

Hi we just bought 5 new TX1012-P-DC’s, the first one I opened I manged to login via the default address, updated the firmware, rebooted. All good. Turned it off. Next day, can’t get in. Won’t get IP from DHCP and can’t ping/access on the 192.168.1.1 address. So I got another one out of the box, this one I can’t even get in straight off the bat. Not getting a DHCP and can’t see it on 192.168.1.1. So I figure, factory reset. But where is the little reset button? I can’t find it, and nothing in the manual says how to-do this. Can anyone advise on this or seen similar issues?

Thanks

Hi James,

Please access the default ip 192.168.1.1 about 2.5 mins after switch is turned on.

Thanks.

Hi James, just wanted to follow up if you are able to access the switches. If not, please raise a ticket and we will assist you further. Thanks.

I certainly waited more than 2.5 min. Will raise a ticket as recommend.

Thx

Having a similar issue. Factory reset. Configured the cloud details. saved and rebooted.
Won’t get DHCP and no response from 192.168.1.1. Using the AC Model

Good day

I have just picked up a similar problem with the TX1012-P-AC. I cant find a reset button on the switch. Can someone possibly assist?

Hi Keith, the TX10xx family does not come with the reset button. You can factory reset the switch if the switch is on the cloud. By default the switch will get DHCP address and connect to the cloud without any manual configuration. You need to claim the switch in your account.
An alternative way to do a factory reset requires serial connection to the switch. Can you raise a ticket and let me know the ticket number so I can immediately assist you?

Thanks.

I have a problem with the same model of the switch in which I am unable to login and is now needing to reset to factory default to regain access. However, there is no reset button and when I connect via console, it doesn’t allow me to get the # prompt during the boot process. Can you advise what setting should I set in my Putty Serial. I tried 115200 8 N 1 and no Flow Control and also 9600 8 N 1 and No Flow control.

Hi Neil,

Welcome to the Cambium Community!

Here are the steps to access the switch console using PuTTY:

  1. Open PuTTY and select Connection Type – Serial

  2. Enter the correct COM port number in the Serial Line field

  3. Set the Speed to 115200

If you’ve forgotten your password, you can reset the switch to factory defaults (supported from firmware version 4.4 onwards):

  1. Connect the console cable and open PuTTY with the settings above

  2. Power cycle (hard reboot) the switch by disconnecting and reconnecting the power cord

  3. When the switch reloads and the login prompt appears, enter:

    • Username: admin

    • Password: BootDefault!

  4. The switch will reboot and load with factory default settings

That should get you back in. Let us know if you face any issues.

Note that password BootDefault! is valid only for 10 mins after the appearance of the login prompt.

Hi Vijesh,

It seems like the firmware version is older than 4.4.

Is there anyway to reset it?

Hi Neil,

From the output you shared, you’ll notice the prompt “Hit CTRL+C to stop autoboot: 0”.
When you press CTRL+C at that stage, a menu will appear — from there, select option ‘9’ to perform a factory reset of the switch.

Once done, we recommend you upgrade the switch to the latest version, 6.1.1-r4, for improved stability, performance, and enhanced reliability.

The switch may have the older boot firmware installed which option 9 was not supported. If this is the case, you need to first upgrade the boot firmware. We can help you with the upgrade.
