Reset
- Pressand hold for 5 seconds for reboot.
- Press and hold for 20 seconds for factory setting reset and software update.
WARNING: The interface ports of the Smart Node are suitable for connection to intra-building or unexposed wiring or cabling only. The intra-building ports of the Smart Node MUST NOT be metallically connected to interfaces that connect to the OSP or its wiring for more than 6 meters (approximately 20 feet). These interfaces are designed for use as intra-building interfaces only (Type 2, 4, or 4a ports as described in GR-1089) and require isolation from the exposed OSP cabling. The addition of Primary Protectors is not sufficient protection in order to connect these interfaces metallically to an OSP wiring system
