This document explains how to restore the IPLOG unit to factory settings.


The IPLOG unit uses two configuration parts, rootfs and userfs.

Rootfs contains a whole default configuration from the factory and it is not possible change it, this part is read-only.

Userfs contains all user changes and user applications. To restore your device to the factory default, enter the following commands with root privileges:

root@buildroot:~# rm /mnt/userfs/* -r
* deletes userfs files (configuration)

root@buildroot:~# reboot
* restarts the device


Warning : Remember that it permanently erases all user files and all custom applications. We strongly recommend backing up your system before resetting to factory default.
