Note: This will turned off the password checking for accessing the web interface only; you still have to enter the password when access the system via telnet.
The Reset button is added to the sensorProbe8Linux and cameraProbe8 to perform three functions:
1. to announce the IP address of the sensorProbe8Linux/cameraProbe8,
2. to turn off the password checking when accessing the web user interface, and
3. to reboot the sensorProbe8Linux/cameraProbe8 into the firmware updating mode.
The sensorProbe8Linux and cameraProbe8 can announce its IP address through its built-in speaker when the reset button is press and release. For example, if the IP address of the sensorProbe8Linux/cameraProbe8 is 192.168.0.100, it will announce this IP address as "One, nine, two, dot, one, six, eight, dot, zero, dot, one, zero, zero". This function is useful when you cannot remember its IP address; thus, cannot access the web user interface. At the same time that the system announces its IP address, it also broadcasts the IP address to the program IPSet.exe
When the Reset button is pressed and held down for approximately 7 seconds, the Use Password feature for the web user interface is turned off. Once the button is pressed down for 7 seconds or until the sensorProbe8Linux or cameraProbe8 announces "Now, turning off password checking" through its built-in speaker. This function is helpful if you have trouble remembering the password to login to the web user interface.

Lastly, when the Reset button is pressed and held down for approximately 12 seconds, the sensorProbe8Linux/cameraProbe8 will reboot into the firmware updating mode or so-called safe mode. Once the button is pressed down for 12 seconds or until the system announces "Now, rebooting system for firmware update" through its built-in speaker. This function is used when you upgrade the sensorProbe8Linux/cameraProbe8 with the new firmware available on AKCP web site.

Note: When you use the button to perform this function, the system will turn off the Use Password feature as well. Hence, to reboot into the safe mode using the button, you need to press and hold down the button for 12 seconds. As it passed the first 7 seconds, the system will announce "Now, turning off password checking"; you need to continue to hold down the button for 5 more seconds until you hear the announcement for rebooting system; then, you can release the button. |
