Router Reset

 

Description

Resetting the router to factory settings restores the restrictive settings as it is running custom firmware preconfigured by UR. Only Teltonika RUT951 routers bought as part of the UR Connectivity Kit, have the default settings of the custom firmware.

Failure to analyze the security impact of any configuration changes can increase cybersecurity risks.

  • If there is a need to return to default, restrictive configuration, reset the router. The default, restrictive settings are applied again.

  • Changes to the router settings shall be done by authorized and qualified personnel (IT security professionals), upon thorough analysis of security impact of the changes.

To reset router

  1. Press the reset button on the back of the router.

Password protection

The default admin password is engraved on the back of the router. Change the default password to your own, strong password.

When the router is reset the default password located on the back of the router becomes valid again.

The admin password allows access to the router configuration, which if reconfigured by unauthorized persons can introduce cybersecurity risks.

  • Store the admin password securely.

  • Limit access to the admin password to authorized personnel.

  • Limit physical acesss to the router to authorized personnel.
