Introduction

When an M500 base station is brand new out of the box, its default operating mode is Single.

You can use the LINK button on the base station to change its mode to Primary or Secondary.

You can also change a base station’s mode back to Single by performing a factory reset. Follow the steps below.
 


To change the base station operating mode or perform a factory reset

  1. Press and hold the LINK button on the base station for at least 20 seconds.
    All LEDs turn off.

    If all three LEDs are flashing green, then you did not hold the LINK key long enough. Wait 5 seconds for the three LEDs to stop flashing green, and then try step 1 again.

  2. Press the LINK button (for less than 2 seconds) to activate the sub-menu. 
    The SIP or LINK LEDs flash in alternating colors to indicate the currently selected sub-menu option.

  3. To move to the next sub-menu option, press the LINK button (for less than 2 seconds). Repeat until the desired sub-menu option is indicated by the flashing SIP or LINK LEDs.

    If 10 seconds has elapsed without pressing the LINK button, the sub-menu will time out and the base station LEDs will display their normal status indications. 

  4. To select the sub-menu option indicated by the flashing SIP or LINK LEDs, press and hold the LINK button for at least 2 seconds.

  5. Wait for the base station to reboot. This takes approximately 70 seconds. During this time, the LED indications will change.

  6. To confirm the operating mode has been set correctly:
    a.    Open a Web browser and enter the base station’s IP address in the address bar.
    b.    Open System → Base Preferences.
    c.    The Mode value shows the currently assigned operating mode (Single, Primary or Secondary).
